TL;DR

  • A leaker has posted apparent selfie camera specs for the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
  • The selfie camera is essentially the same as the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s front‑facing camera, but with a slightly wider field‑of‑view.
  • Samsung’s phone is also tipped to arrive with minor rear‑camera upgrades, such as wider apertures.

Selfie Camera Leak

Ice Universe claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature a 12 MP 1/3.2‑inch f/2.2 selfie camera with 1.12‑µm pixels—identical to the S25 Ultra’s front camera.

Field‑of‑View Comparison

The leaked specs indicate an 85° field of view (FoV) for the S26 Ultra’s selfie camera, compared to the 80° FoV of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The wider angle should make group selfies and video capture a bit more flexible.

Rear‑Camera and Other Upgrades

While the overall rear‑camera hardware appears largely unchanged from the S25 Ultra, the following aperture improvements are rumored:

  • 200 MP main sensor: potentially f/1.4 (previously f/1.7)
  • 50 MP 5× periscope sensor: potentially f/2.9 (previously f/3.4)

These wider apertures could enhance low‑light performance and overall image quality.

Additional Specifications

  • Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy
  • Display: OLED with Privacy Display technology
  • Charging: 60 W wired charging
  • Battery: 5,000 mAh (unchanged from the S25 Ultra)
