Samsung is no longer the only camera phone in town, and in early 2026 the competition is fierce. Honor has been one company stepping up its camera capabilities in a big way with its latest Honor Magic 8 Pro flagship.<\/p>\n

But how does that compete against the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a> and does it stand a chance?<\/p>\n

In this comparison, I took both phones on a photo walk and captured dozens of photos in all sorts of conditions \u2014 from bright daylight to night photos, using the main camera, ultra-wide one, zooming and taking selfies. Let’s take a look at the results.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Galaxy and the Honor both use the same 1\/1.3-inch sensor size for the main camera, but the Galaxy features faster, f\/1.4 aperture that lets more light in than the f\/1.6 aperture on the Honor.<\/p>\n

The ultra-wide camera is a bit wider on the Honor at 12mm, but the Samsung again has an advantage with a slightly wider aperture (f\/1.9 vs f\/2.0 on the Honor).<\/p>\n

The zoom camera has also improved in a big way on the Honor, now featuring a 1\/1.4-inch sensor, much bigger than the 1\/2.5-inch sensor on the Galaxy.<\/p>\n
