TL;DR

  • According to Ice Universe, Samsung plans to use the same 50MP telephoto sensor on the Galaxy S6 Ultra and S27 Ultra as the one it introduced on the S24 Ultra.
  • The tipster previously claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may actually downgrade the 3x shooter to a smaller sensor.
  • If true, the move would echo Samsung’s decision to stick with its 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main sensor and Sony’s IMX754 3x sensor across multiple generations.

Samsung’s Ultra flagships are known for pushing smartphone specs, but a new leak suggests the company may be hitting the snooze button on sensor upgrades.
