A new leak suggests that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will again feature a 200MP main camera - but with a major improvement that could noticeably boost photo quality. Well-known tipster Universelce has backed the rumour and added a key detail.

According to gsmarena, the phone is expected to use the same Isocell HP2 200MP sensor found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, the S26 Ultra will reportedly use a wider f/1.4 aperture, compared to f/1.7 aperture on the S25 Ultra.

Galaxy Z TriFold

Samsung Electronics unveiled on December 2 its first multi-folding smartphone, in a bid to strengthen its position in a sector of the phone market where competition is expected to intensify.

The launch of the Galaxy Z TriFold marks Samsung's bid to reinforce its footing in a segment where Chinese rivals have been gaining ground, even as analysts say the high price and production challenges mean foldable devices are likely to remain a niche category for now.

The Galaxy Z TriFold is priced at about 3.59 million won ($2,440.17) and unfolds into a 253.1 millimetre (10-inch) display, using three panels. It is nearly 25% larger than Samsung's latest foldable Galaxy Z Fold 7 model.

The new model, produced in South Korea, will go on sale domestically on December 12 and be rolled out in China, Singapore, Taiwan and the UAE within this year. The US launch is expected as early as the first quarter of next year.
