Rumors suggest that the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may come with an upgraded front camera, featuring a wider field of view and a larger punch hole on the display. While the front camera may see improvements, there could be a display downgrade to accommodate this enhancement.
Galaxy S26 Ultra Front Camera Upgrade
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is rumored to have the largest front camera punch hole in any Ultra model, measuring 4mm in diameter. This design change is said to be in support of a wider field of view for the front camera, which will offer an 85-degree FOV compared to the 80-degree FOV on its predecessor, the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Possible Display Tradeoff
Although the front camera upgrade is promising, it may come at the cost of a display downgrade. The larger punch hole on the S26 Ultra could signify a shift in design priorities to prioritize camera performance over a seamless display experience.
Other Speculations
Aside from the front camera upgrade, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to maintain similar camera specs from the previous model. Software updates like One UI 8.5 camera algorithms may enhance overall camera performance.
