Galaxy S26 Ultra At first glance, it did not bring any major improvements to the cameras. The setup remained the same on paper as the Galaxy S25 Ultra and many people are so disappointed. But it is gradually becoming clear that Samsung has made various improvements. And these may be more significant than the long-awaited (and unheard of) increase in the resolution of the telephoto lens.
Galaxy S26 Ultra offers the following rear camera setup:
- Main camera: 200 MPx, f/1.4, 0,6 μm
- Periscopic telephoto lens: 50 MPx, f/2.9, 0,7 μm, 5x optical zoom
- Ultrawide-angle lens: 50 MPx, f/1.9, 0,7 μm
- Telephoto lens: 10MPx, f/2.4, 1,12 μm, 3x optical zoom
That doesn't sound bad, but ohproti Galaxy S25 Ultra we see only one fundamental change here – the use wider apertures at the main and periscope lenses. A layman will wave his hand at this, but a photography expert will notice. Thanks to this little thing, Samsung has managed to improve the ability to capture light. And you can take clearer photos even in dim light. Aboutproti Galaxy S25 Ultra captures the main sensor 47% more light and periscope telephoto lens 37% more.
Clearer photos thanks to AI
Another improvement also concerns the clearer capture of objects photographed or filmed in dim light. In this case, Samsung has used artificial intelligence, which is behind the tools collectively referred to as nightographyNight photos and those taken in poor lighting conditions not only look clearer, but they are also automatically removed noise.
This AI-assisted enhancement is also available on models Galaxy S26 a Galaxy S26+ and Samsung has already done it before Galaxy Unpacked propagoval as one of the most interesting. I was interested in the fact that it also works with videos, but we don't yet have real evidence confirming Samsung's marketing promises. We'll find out how well Nightography works now only after testing the cameras in real life.
