Samsung's potential Galaxy S26 Ultra upgrade may feature a 12MP telephoto lens, according to a leaked report
Samsung has announced that reservations are now open for its upcoming flagship devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7, on its official website. For those who reserve these foldable devices, Samsung is offering a $50 credit and other perks, including the opportunity to save up to $1,150+.
Meanwhile, details about the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Samsung's latest smartphone offering, have started to emerge. The device is expected to launch soon, and confirmed and rumored specifications suggest several exciting upgrades.
## A Slimmer Design and Improved Battery Life
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumoured to have a slimmer design, with a thickness of around 7.xmm compared to the S25 Ultra's 8.2mm. This reduction in thickness, along with thinner bezels, will contribute to a more refined aesthetic. Additionally, the device is expected to retain its IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.
The S26 Ultra is also expected to retain a 5,000mAh battery, but with potentially faster charging capabilities than the previous 45W limit.
## Enhanced Camera System
The camera system of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is set for significant improvements. The device is likely to feature a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera, a 50MP 5x zoom lens, and a potentially upgraded 12MP 3x telephoto lens, up from the previous 10MP. The front selfie camera is a 12MP sensor, with improved features like 4K 120fps slow-motion video recording.
However, it remains unclear if the 200MP main sensor in the Galaxy S26 Ultra is identical to the one in its predecessor.
## Powerful Processor and Ample Storage
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to come with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 processor, manufactured at the 3nm scale. This powerful processor will likely be accompanied by 16GB of RAM across all storage options. Storage options will include 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB configurations.
## Continued Use of S Pen and Digitizer
Despite rumours of a digitizer-less S Pen, the S26 Ultra will continue using the same S Pen as its predecessor.
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to launch in January of next year. For those interested in Samsung's latest offerings, reserving the Galaxy Z Fold 7 or Flip 7 on Samsung.com not only offers the $50 credit but also 3x reward points. It's an opportunity not to be missed for Samsung enthusiasts!
