According to him, the exact same sensor, which also appeared on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, will feature in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/galaxy-s26-ultra-camera-bump-thickness-3596153\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>, and even the Galaxy S27 Ultra, marking four consecutive years without an upgrade.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UniverseIce\/status\/1965964383915487254\" class=\"e_sm e_f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow\"><img class=\"e_0g\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Ice Universe Galaxy S26 Ultra telephoto camera\"  alt=\"Ice Universe Galaxy S26 Ultra telephoto camera\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Ice-Universe-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-telephoto-camera.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If true, this would echo Samsung\u2019s decision to stick with its 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main sensor and Sony\u2019s IMX754 3x telephoto sensor across multiple generations. Ice Universe has been very vocal about his frustration with Samsung\u2019s camera stagnation of late. The leaker has even <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/UniverseIce\/status\/1965962269038358989\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">started<\/a> a Change.org petition to demand new leadership for the company\u2019s camera division, which honestly might be a bit much.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The tipster also previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-ultra-3x-camera-leak-3596413\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">revealed<\/a> that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may actually downgrade the 3x shooter to a smaller sensor. While the 3x camera is believed to be a 12MP sensor, the leaker says it\u2019ll shoot at 10MP.<\/p>\n<p>If this latest claim is true, it means the Galaxy S27 Ultra, a phone that will be released in 2027, will still rely on a telephoto sensor first introduced in 2024. For a brand that prides itself on Ultra photography, that\u2019s a long time to keep things unchanged. That said, this is still very much a rumor at this point. Samsung could certainly end up switching things around, at least for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, if not the upcoming Galaxy S26 series.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
