Samsung GALAXY S26 Ultra has sparked a wave of speculation in recent days as tech enthusiasts await official details of Samsung's new flagship. Sources on the Chinese social network Weibo, including the renowned tipster @UniverseIce, seem to confirm that the model will bring significant improvements in optics, design and charging speed, although not all the news is as optimistic.
Regarding the main camera, the Samsung GALAXY S26 Ultra is expected to benefit from a lens with a considerably wider aperture compared to the S25 Ultra generation. According to rumors, the new 200 MP module will allow for captures with superior brightness and clarity, especially in low light conditions, making the S26 Ultra a formidable competitor in the niche photography area. This change could represent the most important evolution since the Samsung GALAXY S20 Ultra.
However, the information indicates that the main sensor used could remain the same – ISOCELL HP2, also present in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The stakes would therefore be exclusively on lens optimization, rather than hardware innovation of the sensor. This raises questions about how consistent the real advantages will be compared to the previous model.
In addition, the Samsung GALAXY S26 Ultra is expected to include a 50 MP telephoto system with 5x optical zoom. This module would also be equipped with a more generous aperture, which could boost performance in long-distance photography and add versatility to the photo ensemble.
In terms of design, rumors suggest that the new Galaxy S26 Ultra will be thinner than its predecessor. The thickness could drop below 8 mm, while the current model measures 8,2 mm. The overall weight would be reduced by a few grams, compared to the 218 g recorded by the S25 Ultra, which would make the smartphone more comfortable in daily use.
One question mark remains the battery. Sources say that Samsung could keep the same 5.000 mAh capacity, despite the thinner case, thus ignoring the possibility of a larger cell. This decision could disappoint users who were counting on more autonomy, especially since competing top smartphones promise expansions in the battery segment.
At the same time, a positive point is the charging speed: the Samsung GALAXY S26 Ultra is expected to support a charging power of at least 60 W, compared to the 45 W of the previous model. This optimization will significantly shorten the time needed to recharge the battery and provide a smoother experience in daily use.

In conclusion, the Samsung GALAXY S26 Ultra seems poised to deliver superior photos and faster charging times, while retaining key components such as the main sensor and battery capacity. It remains to be seen whether these choices will please fans of the brand, pending the official announcement that will confirm or deny these rumors.
