Recent reports suggest that the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, comprising the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra models, will not feature significant camera advancements. Information sourced from the prominent industry leaker, Ice universe, indicates a continuation of the 10MP ISOCELL sensor for 3x telephoto capabilities across all three devices.
Specifically, the anticipated 3x camera specifications are expected to include a 10MP 1/3.94-inch ISOCELL sensor with a 1.0μm pixel pitch and a 36°, f/2.4 lens. This configuration mirrors the 67mm f/2.4 camera currently employed in the Galaxy S25 and S25+ models, representing a moderate imaging solution. This design choice may preclude features such as pixel binning and enhanced digital zoom performance.
The Samsung Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra are confirmed to utilize the following 3x camera specification:
3x camera : 10MP , ISOCELL , 1/3.94″ , 1.0μm , F2.4，36°
The effective pixel count is 10MP, not 12MP.

This potential stagnation in camera technology would represent a modest upgrade over the Galaxy S25 series. The S25 Ultra model featured a higher-resolution, though not necessarily larger, 50MP sensor for its ultrawide lens, while the standard and Plus models retained their pre-existing camera systems.
The anticipated launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S26 series is February 25, according to current projections. Further details and confirmed specifications are expected to be revealed at that time.
