The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is attracting attention following leaked information about its primary camera setup. Reports confirm that Samsung will continue using its powerful 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor, first introduced on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but with a noteworthy improvement in the aperture size that promises better photography capabilities.
Renowned tipster UniverseIce revealed that while the Galaxy S25 Ultra features the 200MP HP2 sensor with an f/1.7 aperture, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will upgrade this to an f/1.4 aperture. This wider aperture allows the camera to capture more light, which is particularly beneficial for low-light photography, potentially delivering clearer, brighter images in challenging conditions.

In addition to the aperture upgrade, the 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor supports pixel-binning technology, enabling flexible image resolutions of 12.5MP, 50MP, and the full 200MP output for varied photographic needs and improved detail optimization.
