Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra is stirring conversation with a leaked design alteration: a record 4mm camera cutout aimed at enhancing selfie composition. But will a wider field of view compensate for the lack of real advancements in front-facing imaging?<\/p>\n

The latest rumored change is a larger front-facing camera cutout, possibly about 4mm wide, according to leaker @UniverseIce on X<\/a>. If true, this would be the largest Infinity-O hole ever on a Samsung Ultra model, as SamMobile<\/a> points out.<\/p>\n

As per the leaker, the change is supposedly meant to accommodate a wider field of view, increasing from about 80 degrees on the Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/a> to roughly 85 degrees. In theory, that means you\u2019ll be able to fit even more into your selfies or group shots without stretching your arm as far.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the actual front camera hardware might not see any real upgrades. The resolution and sensor could stay the same as before, meaning you\u2019ll get a wider frame but not necessarily a better image overall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This change shows a curious change to Samsung\u2019s design approach. For years, Samsung has made its punch-hole cameras smaller to create a more immersive display. Now, the Galaxy S26 Ultra might be moving in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

Rear camera tweaks<\/p>\n

For the rear cameras, Samsung seems to be making small improvements instead of big changes. The S26 Ultra is said to retain the same 200MP main camera and 50MP ultra-wide lens as the S25 Ultra.<\/p>\n

The telephoto system might change a bit, with the 3x telephoto lens<\/a> possibly using a new 12MP ISOCELL S5K3LD sensor instead of the older IMX754, as per the same tipster<\/a>. While this sounds like an upgrade, the new sensor is actually smaller at 1\/3.94″ compared to 1\/3.52″, which could slightly reduce how much light it captures.<\/p>\n

The 5x periscope zoom could get a wider aperture, changing from f\/3.4 to f\/2.9, which should help with low-light photos. There are also rumors about a new APV video codec that might make videos more efficient and higher quality, but this is still unconfirmed.<\/p>\n

An earlier rumor<\/a> claims the Galaxy S26 Ultra may look slimmer and include Qi2 wireless charging<\/a>, but the larger Infinity-O cutout will likely be more noticeable. Samsung usually prefers symmetry and minimalism in its designs, so some people might see this larger punch-hole as a negative move.<\/p>\n

What is the main rumored design change for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra?<\/p>\n

The main rumored change is a larger front-facing camera cutout (also known as an Infinity-O hole) on the display, which is expected to be around 4mm wide.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What you need to knowGalaxy S26 Ultra may feature a 4mm front camera hole, the largest yet on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147276,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[85,46,321,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-147275","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-mobile","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147275"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147275\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147275"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
