TL;DR
- A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could offer an inferior 3x camera to the S25 Ultra.
- The phone will apparently use a 3x camera with a smaller sensor, suggesting lower quality photos.
We’ve already seen some Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera leaks, and we most recently heard that the 3x camera could get a new sensor. Now, it sounds like this might be a downgrade.
Tipster Ice Universe claimed on Twitter that the Galaxy S26 Ultra won’t have a 12MP 3x camera as he previously asserted. Or more accurately, the phone will apparently have a 12MP sensor that crops down to 10MP. That means the native image resolution is unchanged compared to the S25 Ultra.
