Ice Universe says the Galaxy S26 Ultra isn’t getting a new sensor for the main camera

Ice Universe just poured cold water on people hoping for a sensor upgrade on the 200MP main camera on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, there is still a fairly important upgrade coming, says the leakster.

The S26 Ultra will use the same ISOCELL HP2 1/1.3” sensor that Samsung has been using since the S23 Ultra. So, no 1.1” 200MP Sony sensor.

However, Ice reports that Samsung will improve the lens with a wider f/1.4 aperture. This would let 47% more light reach the sensor, compared to the f/1.7 lens on the S25 Ultra.
