We’ve heard a few rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra‘s camera system, and the latest, coming out of China, claims Samsung will address some camera issues with its upcoming flagship.
We are referring to a post by popular tipster Ice Universe on Weibo. It is in Chinese, and machine translation to English suggests the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera will have reduced lens flare.
Additionally, the Galaxy S26 Ultra will feature “enhanced lens and coating technology,” and skin tones will no longer turn yellow in images.
