For many years, Samsung justly took pride in the cameras of its flagship smartphones, emphasized by the slogan 'Our cameras are always a step ahead of our competitors.' However, recently, so many top-tier cameraphones have appeared on the market that the Korean manufacturer is rapidly losing ground in this segment.

What is known

Authoritative insider Ice Universe expressed sharp but justified criticism of Samsung. He posted several comparative photos taken with the Galaxy S25 Ultra and several other smartphones from Chinese brands and commented on the results:

Now Samsung — the brand with the worst picture quality and the most noise, worse than any other brand. Why does the head of Samsung's camera department still hold his position?

Practically every week, smartphones with the coolest set of cameras are released, so if Samsung plans to continue the competitive struggle in the photo flagships market, the company urgently needs to take action, especially since Samsung has no secrets left: specs and renders of the flagship Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Ultra smartphones have been published do not indicate that their cameras will receive a significant upgrade.
