The latest reports suggest that Samsung is gearing up to revolutionize the camera capabilities of at least one model in the upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup. While details about the Galaxy S26 Ultra have started to surface, it's the Galaxy S26 model with the internal codename NPA2 that is making waves.
The Galaxy S25 Plus may not have a direct sequel, but the Galaxy S26 NPA2 is rumored to feature a groundbreaking 50MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a significant improvement over its predecessor.
According to speculation, Samsung may streamline the Galaxy S26 series by introducing just three models, with the NPA2 potentially replacing both the Plus and Edge variants.
If these rumors hold true, the Galaxy S26 series could see the elimination of the Plus model in favor of a high-end Galaxy S26 Edge, emphasizing camera quality over quantity.
While details on the Galaxy S26 and S26 Ultra remain sparse, the Ultra variant is expected to boast a 200MP primary camera and a 50MP telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom capabilities.
While specifics about the base Galaxy S26 camera setup are still under wraps, the promise of an exciting main camera upgrade and overall enhancements in performance and battery life have fans eagerly awaiting the official unveiling in 2026.
