Changes will still happen: an authoritative insider spoke about important improvements in the Galaxy S26 Ultra cameras
Renowned insider Ice Universe has provided new details about the flagship Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone, whose release is expected in March 2026.
This time, Ice Universe did not criticize Samsung Bold Statement: 'Samsung is Losing the Cameraphone Race' — Insider Ice Universe Criticized Galaxy Cameras, but did note that the Korean company is focusing on improving optics and image processing rather than a radical update of the hardware components.
What is known
According to the insider, the company will introduce a new lens coating, which should significantly reduce glare and halos when shooting bright scenes. Similar solutions are already being used by competitors such as Vivo and Sony, so Samsung seeks to bring optical quality up to the level of the leaders.
Improvements in photo processing algorithms are also reported, with special attention paid to skin tone reproduction, which in the latest Galaxy models has often been criticized for overly warm tones.

It was previously reported that some lenses may receive a wider aperture, which will improve shooting in low-light conditions. However, global changes in the camera configuration should not be expected: the four-module system, according to insiders, will remain almost the same as in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The only exception may be the 3x telephoto lens — its sensor is likely to be updated.
The Galaxy S26 series is expected to be unveiled at the Samsung Unpacked event on February 25, 2026, in San Francisco.
