The Galaxy S26 Ultra will be a top-end smartphone in the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup and has been in the news quite a few times recently.
A recent report stated that the handset will have a 200 MP primary camera. This has now been followed by a new report with the sensor details of this camera and its aperture.
Low Light Performance
According to a post on X by tipster UniverseIce and the comments that followed, the primary camera will be equipped with an ISOCELL HP2 sensor that has a noteworthy wide F1.4 aperture. If the details turn out to be true, the light captured by the camera will be 47% more than that of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
This choice of sensor and a wide aperture will help the user capture videos and photos with improved details and less noise in low and mixed lighting situations. The wide aperture will additionally deliver a depth of field that is shallower than before. This will result in less smearing than what occurred with the earlier models.
