The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Could Take Much Better Low-Light Photos and Charge Slightly Faster

GLOBAL, AUG 4 – Samsung's Galaxy S26 Ultra will use the same 200MP sensor but with a wider f/1.4 aperture allowing 47% more light for improved low-light photos, according to multiple leaks.

  • Leaker Ice Universe claims the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will debut in January 2026 with a 200MP main camera and wider f/1.4 aperture lens.
  • This camera upgrade follows the ongoing use of the ISOCELL HP2 sensor since the S23 Ultra and aims to capture 47% more light compared to the S25 Ultra's f/1.7 lens.
  • The wider aperture should improve low-light photography by gathering more light and producing greater background blur while maintaining manual control appeal.
  • Ice Universe also reports the S26 Ultra will support 60W charging capable of reaching up to 80-90% battery in 30 minutes, an improvement over last year’s 45W charging.
  • Overall, the S26 Ultra will likely offer notable incremental camera and charging improvements without a sensor upgrade, reflecting Samsung's conservative but meaningful update cycle.
