The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> will feature a wider aperture than the Galaxy S25 Ultra<\/a>, allowing it to capture better photos and videos in low-light conditions. Samsung<\/a> has released another video showing off the improved camera on the S26 Ultra, except there is one little problem that puts a question mark on the marketing: the video is enhanced with AI.<\/p>\n

This is the video that Samsung has released to boast the low-light camera capabilities of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Close to the end of the video, however, the company has put a disclaimer that reveals that the \u201ccontent\u201d was generated with the assistance of AI tools.
\nSamsung has previously released similar videos to showcase the camera improvements on the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>, and this new disclaimer puts a damper on all of them. It is now impossible to tell whether any of those previous videos were also generated or enhanced with Galaxy AI<\/a>.
\nOther improvements still make it a good phone<\/p>\n

\"Leaked <\/p>\n

Fortunately, there are still other improvements to look forward to with the Galaxy S26 Ultra even if the camera upgrades aren\u2019t as good as Samsung has made them out to be.<\/p>\n

For starters, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is finally seeing an improvement to its charging speeds. Wired charging speeds are reportedly going up from 45W to 60W and wireless charging speeds are going up from 15W to 25W. Though still a ways off from the 100W+ of Chinese competitors, it is still a much welcome step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

In addition, there is the new privacy display. The Galaxy S26 Ultra will apparently be able to hide the contents of its screen from anyone trying to glance at it from the sides. This is a completely novel addition, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra might be ahead of its time<\/a> just like the Galaxy S9 was all the way back in 2018. <\/p>\n

\"Reserve<\/p>\n

Reserve your Galaxy S26 at the official store<\/p>\n

Samsung has launched its much-awaited Galaxy S26 reservations. Pre-securing a unit straight away gives you a $30 Samsung credit, a chance to win a $5,000 sweepstake, and pre-order savings of up to $900.<\/p>\n

A bit disappointing, Samsung
I might be wrong, but the entire video seems AI-generated to me. The stiff facial expressions, the awkward shuffling of the legs, and just the weird pauses around the end. I really hope that it\u2019s not, but if it is, then I don\u2019t understand why Samsung even put this video out in the first place.<\/p>\n

If potential customers want to see the camera improvements of an upcoming flagship smartphone, they will obviously want to see real examples. Using an AI-generated video is no different from publishing a completely fake, CGI video, except perhaps the latter would have taken more effort to create.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s quite an odd move from Samsung, and we can only hope that the real product is actually as good as is shown off here.<\/p>\n
