Recent reports concerning the rear camera specifications for the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series suggest limited advancements. Initial analyses indicate that the anticipated upgrades are minimal, with a perceived lack of emphasis on critical areas for enhancement. One area of particular concern is the potential continuation of the 10MP 3x telephoto camera, a component considered by some to be overdue for replacement.
Regarding the front-facing camera configuration, details have emerged indicating a continuation of the existing specification across all Galaxy S26 models. According to sources, all devices in the series will be equipped with 12MP front-facing cameras featuring autofocus lenses. This configuration mirrors the specifications of the preceding Galaxy S23, S24, and S25 series.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (and the other S25 models) have a 12MP AF selfie camera
It is worth noting that the Galaxy S22 Ultra previously featured a 40MP selfie camera. The decision to maintain the 12MP front-facing camera resolution may be viewed as a divergence from prior advancements in this area.
The current 12MP front-facing camera is known to produce high-quality images characterized by detailed capture, accurate skin tone representation, and commendable dynamic range. However, the absence of upgrades in the front-facing camera configuration for a period spanning four consecutive generations could potentially impact the perceived innovation of the Galaxy S series.
