"The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra was one of the most reliable phones launched last year. It had a big, sharp screen with a unique anti-reflective coating, powerful performance, and versatile cameras. However, I couldn't use it full-time because of an ergonomically poor design and an aging telephoto camera.

I'm concerned about Samsung's upcoming flagship phone."
"Samsung has relied on the same sensor for 3x zoom capabilities for a couple of years now. It was weak last year, when Apple pushed the limits in videography with its 4x telephoto camera, and Chinese manufacturers had perfected portraits and macro shots with improved processing. If it is the same telephoto camera in 2026, it doesn't stand a chance against competitors."
The Galaxy S25 Ultra combined a large sharp screen with an anti-reflective coating, strong performance, and versatile cameras but suffered from poor ergonomics and an aging telephoto. Reports claim the Galaxy S26 Ultra will include a 200MP primary sensor, 50MP ultrawide, a 10MP 3x telephoto, and a 50MP 5x telephoto sensor. The 3x telephoto uses an unchanged sensor that lags behind competitors' telephoto and videography advances, prompting advice to shoot in 200MP and crop. Samsung reduced S25 Ultra weight to 218 grams, yet ergonomic concerns remain a key issue for full-time use.
