The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to debut in late February 2026. While recent reports indicate that the flagship may skip major camera upgrades this year, a new leak now appears to support those claims.
According to a tipster, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain the same camera hardware as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, with the only change being the replacement of the 10MP telephoto sensor.
