    Of course the 50mp ultrawide of S25 ultra got better quality compared to S25 edge 12mp in every scenario.
    For the Edge i want the 50mp UW, screen upgrade with full HDR10+ and bigger battery.
    The 3900 typical its ok but needs 4700 with new type of batteries

      PatrickCzech, 01 Oct 2025Especially if the S26 Pro will really starts at $999. With ... moreThe iPhobe 17 is a midrange phone.

        Meh

          Dear Samesung fans, please dont buy this so samsung realizes they have to upgrade the hardware too. Each year same device released over and over again and it breaks records?!

            Oh yeah, 01 Oct 2025Why upgrade something thats perfect. If you want better qua... moreThere is nothing perfect about the below average quality cameras of the base and plus S series models, if you want better quality then any other brand has it, no reason to buy a DSLR.

              It's a high time for incremental change!

                Samsung is losing ground to most of its competitors when it comes to photography. The Ultra is still holding its own, but the tiny S25 is a disaster. The photo quality is appallingly low, and users on forums confirm this; only reviewers dare to criticize. My S24 is worse than the S20 from five years ago...I'm selling it soon and saying goodbye to Samsung, since nothing changes with the S26. I'll buy a Pixel or Xiaomi, or possibly a One Plus.

                  Why upgrade something thats perfect. If you want better quality, just buy regular dslr or mirrorless camera.

                    jm, 01 Oct 2025and just like that, the iphone 17 killed the s26 pro. this ... moreEspecially if the S26 Pro will really starts at $999. With 128 GB of storage of course. While iPhone 17 starts at $799 for 256 GB of storage.

                      what a joke, why even call it pro? just to increase the price? big fail sammy, big fail

                        Fingers crossed that this leak turns out to be false and they upgraded the cameras on the s26 pro.

                          They don't upgrade anything because whatever they produce people will buy nonetheless

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

                              kdss, 01 Oct 2025Samsung Galaxy S(ame)26 🤣Don't forget, the base models is now going to be called Pro, so it will be Professionally Same.

                                Can't get any more boring than Samsung nowadays.
                                The chinese have been getting way ahead in camera quality and Samsung seems to not care whatsoever.
                                Hopefully the sale numbers will start reflecting that soon

                                      apple finally made a big jump in improving the base spec 17. And Samsung will respond by making the s26 the same as the s25 with a new ( Exynos) chip??! the 17 got 2 new cameras and faster charging and a longer battery life while the s26 will get none of those. I just don’t get why they can’t even spend a few bucks to make it better. You can bet with the new s26 “ pro” name the price will go up!

                                        Ah, the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The legendary successor!
                                        ​Based on the swirling rumors, it seems next year Samsung will release a flagship that is truly... consistent. The Camera? Still 200MP. Just like before. But don't worry, this time they'll perfect it with more advanced AI! (Because, of course, the same hardware wouldn't be enough to sell without the Artificial Intelligence buzzword). The Chipset? Naturally, there will be a newer one! The name will change, the number goes up, and the performance is surely faster... to run the same games at the same refresh rate, and to drain the same size battery just as quickly.
                                        ​The Design? There's a slight change to the corners. Maybe it'll be a little more boxy, or a little rounder. A minimalist change that will make you wonder, "Wait, is this the S26 Ultra or an S25 Ultra wearing a new case?"
                                        ​It's like watching a sequel to a wildly successful blockbuster movie: The story is exactly the same, the actors are the same, only the costumes are slightly modified and the subtitle has been changed. In short: Next year, we will be presented with predictable annual innovation—an upgrade that focuses more on marketing than engineering. But take it easy, at least they aren't raising the price too much... maybe.
                                        ​Welcome to the future of smartphones, where the megapixel count is huge but the changes are tiny. Want to buy it? Of course, its name is "Ultra"!
