FULL STORY
======================================================================Camera 
sensor upgrades are tipped for the Galaxy S26 series The S26 Ultra model may 
have a bigger battery inside as well We may see an even slimmer model 
replacing the Galaxy S25 Edge 

We could be just a couple of months away from the launch of the Samsung 
Galaxy S26 series , and the leaks are continuing  with the latest rumor to 
reach our ears one that concerns a telephoto camera upgrade across all four 
S26 models. 

This comes from Alchemist Leaks (via Notebookcheck ), and it in fact covers 
all of the key specs of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra 
(this source backs up previous whispers that the Galaxy S26 Edge has been 
canceled). 

Most of the specs are what we were expecting, but the highlight is the 
inclusion of a 1/2.55-inch, 12MP telephoto camera sensor in all three phones. 
That's significantly larger than the 1/3.52-inch, 10MP sensor in the current 
Samsung Galaxy S25 handsets. 

While the 3x optical zoom wouldn't change, the resulting photos would in 
theory be noticeably better in terms of capturing details and reducing noise.

The same tipster suggests the S26 Ultra model could get an even bigger 
telephoto lens, but that this is "still not confirmed". There are also 
references to other "updated" camera sensors across the models, without any 
specifics about sensor size. 

Samsung executives have gone on the record as saying improved cameras are on 
the way with the new handsets. The slowness of upgrades in this department is 
something the Galaxy S series has been criticized for in the past. 

Another interesting tidbit from this leak: the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may 
get a 5,400mAh battery, up from 5,000mAh on the Galaxy S25 Ultra , though 
according to the tipster this is a "last minute change" that is "not 
guaranteed". 

Finally, as well as mentioning that the Galaxy S26 Edge has been canceled 
(matching earlier reports ), the tipster says there could be a "more slimmer" 
model on the way to replace it  so we may get four flagship models after all.
