Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra to borrow this feature from the Galaxy Z Fold line

Samsung has just started shipping the Galaxy S25 devices, and we're already turning our attention to the next generation - specifically, the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This is already in the early prototyping stage, and said prototypes are missing a visible selfie camera cutout in their displays.

This, according to a tipster over on X, means that Samsung wants to go with an under-display camera for its next slab-style flagship smartphone. The Korean company is already using such a unit in its Galaxy Z Fold line for the folding display, but we do hope that the quality will be immensely improved for the S26 Ultra, otherwise it will be a dud, selfie-wise.

Now, even if this rumor isn't someone just making stuff up and posting it on X, keep in mind that we're talking about very early prototypes here, and a lot can change from this point on. But there is a small chance this is accurate and Samsung does want to join nubia and make a flagship device with an under-display camera.

The S26 Ultra might actually be called S26 Note, according to a previous rumor. It's already been rumored to come with a brighter and more efficient display than its predecessor's, as well as a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera and an Exynos chipset.
