Overview
- South Korea’s The Elec reports the Galaxy S26 will reuse the Galaxy S25’s camera modules: 50MP main, 10MP 3x telephoto, and 12MP ultrawide.
- The planned sensor upgrades were reportedly canceled late in development to avoid a higher starting price for the base S26.
- Production of the Galaxy S26 and S26+ is said to be delayed to early 2026 as internal layouts are revised to fit the unchanged cameras.
- The Galaxy S26 Ultra is reportedly entering mass production this month, advancing ahead of the other models.
- Any camera gains on the base S26 are expected to stem from image processing and software rather than new hardware, per the reports.
