The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is getting some highly-anticipated — and much needed, if we’re being honest — camera upgrades this year. Samsung knows that and has just released three new videos to showcase the improvements to its cameras, especially the video recording capabilities on its upcoming flagship.

On Samsung’s TikTok page, the company has released three new videos showing off the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s improved low-light video recording and zoom capabilities. According to leaked renders, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be seeing the return of the rear camera island. This is because the phone will feature a wider aperture for its main camera.This wider aperture will allow for more light to hit the sensor, letting it work with more visual information. Low-light photography and video recording will — as Samsung has just shown off, albeit in a slightly exaggerated manner — be improved greatly over the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

As reported before, video recording on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is seeing major improvements this year. These improvements will also likely include the ability to zoom in further without losing much detail.
Samsung shows off the new zoom for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, though it looks like it’s for photo capturing instead of video recording. Nevertheless, when asked what Galaxy S26 Ultra features excited you the most, more people chose the improved photography capabilities over the new video recording tools, so this is very welcome.
The Galaxy S26 Ultra might break the 100x zoom barrier of its predecessor. Samsung just released an update for better video zoom on Galaxy S25 Ultra too, so it’s not far-fetched to think that the S26 Ultra will boast much better zoom options for video recording.
In addition, faster charging speeds and the new privacy display are setting up the Galaxy S26 Ultra to be one of the best phones of the year.

The Galaxy S26 Ultra is shaping up to be one of the best phones of the year, and not just because it’s the newest flagship phone from Samsung.
Faster charging, the privacy display, and improved cameras will be a breath of fresh air for consumers who didn’t want to hear about more AI features again. And given Samsung’s recent success with the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Galaxy Z TriFold, the company is likely to try out bolder upgrades moving forward.
These videos might not be a completely accurate representation of how much better the Galaxy S26 Ultra is going to be. However, they get across the message: Samsung is pretty proud of the improvements that it has brought to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and it can’t wait to show them off later this month.
