Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could get a Quad-camera upgrade with wider apertures for 47% better low-light shots.
The handset may pack a Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip + vapor cooling for sustained performance.
The phone could pack new pill-shaped camera island design inspired by Galaxy Z Fold 7.
Samsung is gearing up for its next flagship launch. If past patterns are anything to go by, the Galaxy S26 series is expected to make its global debut in January 2026, with India getting it around the same time. With just a few months left for the big reveal, a new leak on the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera capabilities and hardware upgrades has surfaced on the internet, hinting at some significant improvements.
SurveyA reliable tipster, @UniverseIce, has detailed the quad-camera setup of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and it looks like Samsung is doubling down on low-light photography. The phone is tipped to feature a 200MP primary camera with an F1.4 aperture, a 50MP ultrawide with F1.9 aperture, a 12MP telephoto with F2.4 aperture and 3x optical zoom, and a 50MP super telephoto with F2.9 aperture and 5x optical zoom.
Further, the wider aperture lenses will let in significantly more light. The primary sensor is expected to capture 47% more light, while the super telephoto lens will reportedly capture 38% more light, resulting in reduced noise, sharper details, and improved night shots. Additionally, the telephoto camera will also increase from 10MP to 12MP, promising a 20% higher resolution for sharper, zoomed-in images.

Under the hood, it could be powered by the 3nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, paired with an upgraded vapour cooling chamber for sustained performance. Powering it all could be a 5,000mAh battery with support for 60W fast charging, a notable step up from its predecessor.
On the design front, Samsung might be taking inspiration from the Galaxy Z Fold 7 by introducing a pill-shaped camera island, moving away from the floating lens setup we’ve seen in recent Ultra models.
