Samsung Galaxy S26 to have a surprise in the camera department

Samsung's Galaxy S26 family is expected to launch in January, with or without a Plus member. Today a new rumor tells us about a surprise that Samsung is preparing for the series.
Namely, the base S26 will have a new sensor for the main camera. It will still have 50 MP resolution, but the Samsung ISOCELL GN3 sensor that's in the Galaxy S25 and has been used since the Galaxy S23 will finally be replaced, if this rumor pans out.

It's unclear what exact sensor will feature instead of it, but it is also one in the ISOCELL GN family, so it's most likely one that hasn't been made official yet.
Those are all the details supposedly outed today, and it's not a lot to go by, but it does seem like there's a chance the S26 is getting a newer and presumably better main camera.
