- The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may need the identical 200MP sensor as its predecessor, however with a brand new lens
- The cellphone can even apparently as soon as once more lack a magnetic ring for Qi2
- The S Pen and its slot will supposedly stay, however a subsequent mannequin would possibly lack an S Pen slot
The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra continues to be a great distance off but, however we’re beginning to hear fairly a couple of issues about it, with the newest data shedding mild on the potential digicam, charging capabilities, and S Pen.
All of this comes from tipster @PandaFlashPro (through NotebookCheck), who – in a sequence of posts on X – shared varied particulars concerning the cellphone. According to them then, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will as soon as once more have a 200-megapixel essential digicam. In reality, it should apparently have precisely the identical sensor, however with “up to date pixels” and a brand new lens.
So that ought to make for a small improve to the primary digicam, however most likely no substantial modifications.
Just acquired Second Prototype data, and that machine additionally has the identical Sensor measurement as HP2, which means Samsung is attempting to reuse HP2 once more with simply Updated Pixels and a New Lens. https://t.co/LKYpunmBRNApril 6, 2025
Yes to the S Pen, no to magnets
A scarcity of considerable modifications is one thing of a theme for this sequence of leaks, as the identical supply additionally says that the S Pen and its devoted slot will stay, which is maybe unsurprising, however they observe that future fashions could not have a slot for the stylus.
And in addition they say that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra gained’t have a magnetic ring to make use of with Qi2 charging and magnetic equipment. This is similar state of affairs as with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which lets you use these options however provided that you set the cellphone in a appropriate case, with the magnets being constructed into the case slightly than the cellphone.
With the potential exception of ditching the S Pen slot in a future mannequin, none of this sounds stunning. But we’d nonetheless take it with a pinch of salt, particularly because the supply doesn’t but have a lot of a observe file.
And whereas the leaks above recommend not a lot is altering on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, another points of it might be, with earlier leaks pointing to a variable aperture digicam, a much bigger battery, and an enormous efficiency bounce.
