Samsung has officially started teasing the Galaxy S26 series, releasing several videos that highlight significant camera improvements. While the official launch date is rumored for February 25, these early glimpses suggest that the brand is focusing heavily on zoom quality and night videography.
The teaser campaign showcases enhanced zoom capabilities, with one video demonstrating extreme magnification levels. It is noted that AI-generated backgrounds are used to assist in these shots, signifying a deep integration of artificial intelligence in the photography pipeline. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to lead the pack with a 200MP main camera featuring a wide f/1.4 aperture for superior low-light performance.
Technical rumors suggest the Ultra model will also include a 50MP periscope telephoto lens capable of 5x optical zoom. The standard S26 and S26+ models may see an upgrade to a 12MP telephoto unit. Depending on the region, the lineup will likely be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or the Exynos 2600 processor, with retail availability expected in March.
