Smartphone photography continues to evolve, with the latest trend focusing on powerful periscope telephoto cameras. Following the successful launch of devices like the vivo X100 Ultra, which features a groundbreaking 200 MP periscope lens, Chinese manufacturers are paving the way for this innovative technology. With three of the five major flagship smartphones anticipated from China in the near future set to incorporate similar camera modules, it's no surprise that Samsung is also exploring this exciting avenue for their upcoming flagship device.
Recent reports suggest that Samsung has started evaluating the implementation of a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera equipped with a 1/1.5-inch sensor for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is slated for release next year—potentially even branded as the S26 Note. While this sensor is marginally smaller than the 1/1.4-inch variant used by vivo, it represents a significant leap forward for Samsung's smartphone camera capabilities.

While some skepticism remains regarding the accuracy of these rumors and the decisions yet to be made regarding the S26 Ultra’s camera setup, enthusiasts can remain optimistic about Samsung's commitment to enhancing their flagship's photographic prowess.
