Reports on the rear cameras of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series have been disappointing so far – in short, there will be very few upgrades. Worse, the few upgrades there will be will not be focused on where they are most needed, e.g. finally getting rid of that 10MP 3x telephoto camera.
Does the Galaxy S series need a selfie camera upgrade? If you said “no”, then we have some good news for you – all Galaxy S26 phones will have 12MP front-facing cameras with autofocus lenses, according to Roland Quandt. Yes, just like the S25, S24 and S23 before.

Remember when the Galaxy S22 Ultra had a 40MP selfie camera? Samsung clearly doesn’t.
Again, we don’t think that the selfie camera is the one that needs an upgrade the most – the current 12MP unit produces detailed images with great skin tones and excellent dynamic range. Still, though, having no upgrades for four years straight makes the entire series look stale.
