The Samsung Galaxy S26 might get a much-needed new digicam

• The Samsung Galaxy S26 might have a brand new most important digicam
• However, it would nonetheless be 50MP
• It’s attainable the Galaxy S26 Edge and Plus may also get new digicam sensors

The Samsung Galaxy S25 has the identical most important digicam sensor because the Samsung Galaxy S24, so whereas this digicam performs moderately nicely, it’s actually due an improve with the Samsung Galaxy S26. Thankfully, an improve is what we would get.

According to GalaxyMembership, the Samsung Galaxy S26 can have a brand new 50MP sensor. Now, that’s no change in megapixels, however the website claims that “so far as we perceive” will probably be a brand new mannequin in Samsung’s ISOCELL GN collection, and probably one which hasn’t been introduced but. That can be instead of the 50MP ISOCELL GN3 within the Samsung Galaxy S25.

While there’s no point out right here of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus, we’d anticipate that might even have this new sensor because the Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus has the identical sensor as the bottom S25. That’s assuming there’s a Galaxy S26 Plus in any respect, as some reviews declare Samsung is contemplating ditching this mannequin in favor of a Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge.

Samsung or Sony?

Speaking of the S26 Edge, leaker @Jukanlosreve has claimed that each this and the bottom Samsung Galaxy S26 will use a 50MP Sony sensor. So that’s barely at odds with the declare above, as whereas each leaks level to a brand new 50MP sensor for the Galaxy S26, there’s disagreement on the model.

Still, it appears probably then that the sensor will probably be altering, even when we’re undecided what to. Equipping the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge with a 50MP sensor would appear an odd alternative although, because the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has a 200MP one. Fewer megapixels doesn’t essentially imply a discount in high quality, but it surely may not look nice from a advertising and marketing perspective.

We’d take all of this with a pinch of salt anyway, because the Samsung Galaxy S26 collection most likely received’t land till early 2026.

We have began listening to fairly a couple of issues about these telephones although, with earlier leaks pointing to larger batteries throughout the entire S26 collection, whereas the bottom mannequin might have an Exynos 2600 chipset in some areas, and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra might get a brand new lens and a variable aperture.

So it feels like there may very well be numerous upgrades coming to Samsung’s flagship telephone collection.
