Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 200MP Camera Upgrade. This improvement ought to be positive news to Samsung, but we hope it does not fall in one of the traps of a broader aperture and a large sensor.

The Galaxy S25 Ultra is still relatively new, having come out a little over half a year back, and we (already) have a huge number of Galaxy S26 Ultra leaks. We had earlier come across news that the new phone might have a bigger camera at 200MP, but a well-known tipster has come out with much different news.

Twitter user and everything-about-Samsung-smartphones master Ice Universe has added the Galaxy S26 Ultra will be a 200MP camera smartphone, being equipped with an Isocell HP2 image sensor. This flies in the face of an incredible rumour by a Chinese leakster that the S26 Ultra will carry an even bigger, Sony-produced 200MP sensor (1/1.1-inch).

But, Ice also adds that the S26 Ultra will possess a large aperture that will significantly add the light input and help fixing the quality of the dim lights and all other existing issues.

This combination ought to make less noise and enhance low-light picture/video taking. I will also have more natural looking portraits because a larger aperture provides shallower depth-of-field and less software-based bokeh.

The blur should also be improved especially at night because the shutter does not need to remain open as long to capture more light. This has paved the way to smaller shutter lag which has long been plagued by the Ultra phones of Samsung. Thus fingers are crossed that Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 200MP Camera Upgrade will be able to properly freeze movement.

It should be mention that the combination of very large sensor and very wide aperture has certain adverse side effects. In his Xiaomi 15 Ultra review, colleague Rob Triggs noted that close-up images come out as an unfocused mess when used with the main camera (one-inch, f/1.63). I also detected this problem in vivo X90 Pro of 2023, which was equipped with a 50MP one-inch main sensor with f/1.75. The phone provided impressively shallow depth-of-field effects but I was always forced to keep out of the way of any portrait or close up shot otherwise I will end with an out of focus or half out of focus photograph. I really hope that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 200MP Camera Upgrade will be not affected by this problem.

This is not the only change in the aperture we might observe in the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra 200MP Camera Upgrade. On Weibo, Ice Universe asserted that it will keep 50MP 5x telephoto, but it adds a broader aperture. That ought to produce cleaner brighter low-light paper shots.
