The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to feature a significant camera upgrade with a new 200MP sensor manufactured by Sony, marking a departure from Samsung’s previous in-house sensors. This new sensor is reported to be 1/1.1-inch in size, larger than the 1/1.3-inch sensor found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, potentially enhancing image quality by allowing greater light intake. Such an upgrade could improve low-light photography and provide higher-quality cropped zoom images. While this development remains speculative, it suggests a possible shift in Samsung’s approach to hardware upgrades, as the company has previously been conservative with changes to its Galaxy S series. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to be unveiled early next year, and if these rumors hold true, it could signify a notable advancement for both Samsung and Sony in the smartphone camera market.
