Samsung plans to equip the Galaxy S26 Ultra with a wider F/1.4 aperture for its primary camera, marking the first major sensor upgrade after three consecutive Ultra flagship generations used identical components. The enhancement represents a notable improvement over the Galaxy S25 Ultra's F/1.7 opening, allowing significantly more light to reach the sensor for superior low-light photography and video performance.
Leaked specifications shared through Weibo indicate the device will retain the 200-megapixel resolution while potentially adding variable aperture technology to adjust between shooting conditions. The wider aperture will prove particularly beneficial if Samsung maintains the 1/1.3-inch sensor size and 0.6-micrometer pixel dimensions from previous models, enabling clearer image capture with enhanced detail.
Additional leaked details reference a 12-megapixel ultrawide camera sensor, an ISO value reaching 4,000, and zero exposure compensation settings. Korean manufacturer Samsung is expected to launch the flagship device in early 2026.
