Samsung has not introduced many significant upgrades to the camera hardware of its flagship Galaxy S series since the Galaxy S21 series, and it appears that the Galaxy S26 family will be no different. According to a Korean news outlet, the company isn’t planning any major changes to all three upcoming Galaxy S26 phones next year.
A quick reminder that according to the latest rumors, just like Apple, Samsung is planning to replace the Plus model with the Edge, meaning there won’t be a Galaxy S26+ anymore. The vanilla S26 will likely be called the S26 Pro, though, which will reportedly feature the exact same camera hardware: a 50MP main camera, a 10MP 3x telephoto camera, and a 12MP ultrawide shooter.
The S26 Edge, on the other hand, will retain the 200MP primary camera, but the 12MP ultrawide shooter will be bumped up to 50MP. It will probably be the same one used on this year’s Galaxy S25 Ultra, although we didn’t find any meaningful change to the ultrawide camera in our review.
Unfortunately, the Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t be receiving any camera upgrades either. We are at least hoping for an upgrade to the tiny 10MP sensor used for the 3x telephoto.
That’s not to say there won’t be improvements to the image quality. Samsung may attempt to extract the best possible image quality from its current hardware for yet another year, utilizing AI smarts and other software enhancements.
