No need to upgrade my S22Ultra. Samsung has been coasting for years.

        i don't mind if they are keeping the same sensors but what i do mind is that they don't seem to have worked a lot on the camera software either. With S25 apparently instead of keeping the same sensors and improving the image processing they made it worse. S23 was their last succesful attempt to provide excellent image processing but after that things got worse hence today S25 takes worse photos than S23.
        The internet is going crazy about S25's bad camera processing and there are already many posts about in on Reddit and Samsung Community.
        So before they go ahead and release their "new" flagships perhaps they should take a look if they have left anything unfinished with S25 series cause obviously they did.

Not to mention that even midrange phones have 200MP main cameras, and some of those are from 3 years ago.

(Projection) Everyone who cares about smartphone photography even a little bit👍 knows that Samsung is way behind the chinese (Chinese) brands.❌ including their Ultra line, let alone their base and S series models,???? which are behind even some midrange devices.#### (😱 X 😂) ^ ♾️ -17

            If 200mp is stagnant (Projection) then we have a tsunami of drought who haven't made that cut

            "Of course Samsung has finalized these camera specs, but not now, more like 3-4 years ago."

            You should have learnt to read & write... That aside, the lack of coherent abilities to process anything above basic is always on display, even your choice of much-used words suggests that you FAILED to understand it, all facts are perceived as YAPPING noises.

            On Xiaomi FLAGSHIP 17 Pro Max, the CEO announced it, was interviewed & stated his reason and you still went boo hoo hoo 😭 in several articles & still this.

            No matter, it would seem that the Xiaomi 16 Plus 1 Pro Max (One Plus Xiaomi 16 may cause some confusion) has sold more than 999,999 plus one units

            Why can't titles be easily understood?

            Oh oh segue & spoiler alert 😂
            Why can't odd numbers and even even numbers just increase by one?

            ***You.... still
            They had this kind of design first, BUT I HATE THE FACT THAT THEY FELT THE NEED TO SKIP THE ENTIRE XIAOMI 16 SERIES just to have the same number as the current iPhone series." 🫣 😱

            The rest of the planet and in my reply
            Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun said on Monday the company will skip the “Xiaomi 16” naming and release its next-generation FLAGSHIP as the Xiaomi 17 series, declaring it will “take on the iPhone head-on.” The move marks Xiaomi’s strategic push into the high-end market, as it aims to challenge Apple directly instead of following its lead"

            I have good news due to the kerfuffle this has caused Xiaomi has agreed NOT to print Xiaomi 17 on the phone's exterior.

            #### Some typically DY unnamed mid-range have a better camera configuration than the S26 Series especially the S26 Ultra article
            "Samsung has finalized the GALAXY S26 SERIES CAMERA SPECS, minor changes await"
            Not holding my breath or while he lists phones better than Samsung A05 what DY types are opinions what only he believes.

            I did welcome Vivo X200 Ultra to the 200MP club but for the life of me I cannot find models Vivo X101 Ultra to Vivo X199 Ultra.

                          Lol! Well it makes me glad I got the S25+ then. Before that I had a crappy phone so honestly it all works in the favor of people who don't upgrade often or are always using flagship. Sucks for the yearly flagship upgraders.

The S25 line up broke sales record while using the same cameras for the 3rd or 4th year in a row!

                              Bruh Samsung really dead set on catching all the L's ☠️☠️☠️ The S25+ page has ppl roasting it over using basically the same cameras since the S22.....

                                This is really embarrassing, Samsung 🤦🏻.

                                  So glad I got the S25. I was worried the S26 Would bring a major revamp but 😴Sammy seems to sleep.

                                      I don’t get it. Had a s20 ultra in 2020 probably one of the best camera phones that year minus the gimmick 100x zoom. Swap between apple pixel Samsung. None of them use new hardware. Why? Can it really cost that much? I can’t see how. Ever competitor uses larger sensors now. These 3 just refuse. It’s so mind boggling. Sensors cost 20 bucks not 200. It can’t just be cheapness. Samsung is the worst. They make their own and don’t}t use the newest ones. S25 ultra could have been on the top. Jn5 selfie 1/1.4 5x. 1/1.56 3x. Best zoom combo. Best selfie. S26nultra adopt 1 inch main. Then on s27 ultra 1 inch main 1/1.3 ultra wide and combine zoom like Sony 3x-7x optical zoom with a 1/1.3 lens. Perfect roadmap. Easily one of the best camera phones. Nut it will never happen. One of the most expensive phones and cheap old photo hardware. Don’t get it.
