The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could have a smaller sensor and size of pixel for its 3X zoom camera
It would be a bad timing since the iPhone 17 Pro has just had a major telephoto length
Samsung’s upcoming phone could also have a very thick camera block

The iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max have just been unveiled with, among other things, major telephoto jewels – but based, on the last leak, it looks like the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could go in the opposite direction and to obtain a degraded fax camera.

It is according to the renowned leak @universeice, which affirmed in a post on X that the phone will keep the optical camera of 10 MP 3X of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, but that it will use a new smaller sensor – which also has smaller pixels.

More specifically, they say that it will have a 1 / 3.94 inch sensor and pixels of 1.0 µm, while the camera of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 1 / 3.52 inch sensor and pixels of 1.12 µm.

Another news, I was afraid of telling you, I fear that you are angry. Samsung Galaxy S26 The new 3X sensor of Ultra is actually degraded, with only 10MP F 2.4 1 / 3.94 1.0um ， It is smaller than the current S25 Ultra IMX754. Therefore, it is true that I suggest that Samsung…September 10, 2025

They seem very sure of this, adding an answer according to which “there is no possibility of change”, which is regrettable, because if this assertion is correct, it means that this camera does not work as well as the 3X zoom of S25 Ultra.

Now, it is likely that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will also have another telephoto lens according to the past shape, which is perhaps a zoom of 50 MP 5X (because this is what the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra A), so it will probably not be understood only on this 10MP sensor for zoom shooting. But if he has this retrograde, he could fight against the iPhone 17 Pro series.

After all, the latest pair of Apple pro combinates has gone from the 5x 12MP zoom of their predecessors to a new 48MP sensor with 4x optical zoom, which can also take photos of 8x to 12MP optical quality zoom. This, associated with the capacity of the main sensor to take 2x zoom fire, could make these much better telephoto lens options than the next flagship product to come from Samsung.

A larger bump

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera bump with 4.5 mm (compared to 2.4 mm on the Ultra S25), driven by the main camera and the telephoto lens. Hopefully the improvement will justify this increased thickness. Samsung could easily accommodate a larger telephoto lens sensor… Pic.twitter.com/hykt8kuhnn September 9, 2025

And this is not the only bad news for the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, because in another post, the same leak said that the phone block on the phone is 4.5 mm thick. It may not seem much, but the camera of Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra camera is only 2.4 mm thick, which could ensure that the Ultra S26 feels much larger.

There may be good reasons for this, @universeice saying that it is necessary to house a main camera with a larger opening, which is an upgrade that we have heard before – but a larger phone with a lower telephoto lens could be a difficult sale.

However, these leaks may be wide from the brand – we should discover it at the beginning of next year, because the past form of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will probably be launched in January.
