Samsung upgrades 'the ceiling' for Galaxy S26 Ultra?

The first highlight of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to be the camera system. Instead of 4 cameras like the S25 Ultra, the S26 Ultra may only have 3 sensors, including a 200 MP main camera, a 50 MP ultra-wide camera, and a 200 MP telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom. This change is said to make room for the variable aperture feature on the main camera, which significantly improves the ability to take photos in low light conditions.

Battery capacity is also a notable upgrade. The S26 Ultra is rumored to have a 5,500 mAh battery, up from the 5,000 mAh on the S25 Ultra, to meet the growing needs of users. This is especially important when competitors like Oppo, Honor and OnePlus are racing with 6,000 mAh batteries.

Finally, Bluetooth for the S Pen, which was omitted on the S25 Ultra, is said to be making a return on the S26 Ultra. This is good news for those who use the S Pen a lot, helping them to fully exploit the potential of this stylus.

The rumored upgrades to the Galaxy S26 Ultra show that Samsung is determined to 'fight back' against the strong rise of Chinese rivals. They are not only focusing on improving the specifications, but also listening to user feedback to bring truly useful features.

However, the tech world still expects Samsung to do more. They need breakthroughs in technology, design and software to really make a difference and regain lost market share.
