Samsung's next great bet for 2026 will focus again on the camera, and specifically to the Teleobjective with Zoom 5x. The latest leaks point to a key change: a broader opening For this lens that would allow to capture more light and reduce noise in night or interior scenes. In other words, cleaner photos and with less climbing, just where the Ultra S25 left duties.
In addition to improving sharpness, a greater opening provides a more natural bottom blur In 5x portraits, without depending so much on software cut. If you usually photograph concerts, interior events or portraits with the long zoom, this adjustment can make a difference. All this comes in a context of fierce competition, with brands such as Xiaomi, Vivo or Google who have already opted for light telephotojects.
A 5X teleobjective with opening f/2.9
The most important novelty of the long -range module would be the Opening F/2.9 of the periscopic teleobjective of 50 megapixels (Zoom 5x). Facing F/3.4 From the previous generation, this opening would let in sensibly more light, helping to reduce ISO, increase the shutter speed and better freeze movement. For the user, that translates into brighter and less grain night shots.
In Portrait photographythe effect is also clear: with a broader opening, the field depth It is reduced and the bokeh is more creamy and natural. It is just the address we are seeing in the high range: Xiaomi 15 Ultra (F/2.6), I live x200 pro (f/2.7) either Pixel 10 Pro (F/2.8) They have already made their way with light telephotojectives, so Samsung would now arrive with an adjustment that many had been asking for for the Galaxy Ultra.
What changes to the Ultra S25 and rivals
Although everything indicates that Samsung will keep the sensor of 50 MP and approximate sensor size of 1/2.5 inches on the 5X teleobjectivethe opening jump would be sufficient to improve The shot with little light and the consistency of the long zoom, one of the most criticized points of the S25 Ultra. If confirmed, we will see less noise and less need to resort to long shutter speeds, with less risk of moved photos.
This step too Reduce distance With their direct rivals. Long teleobjective photography is one of the sections that most conditions the real experience in trips, sports or concerts: to be able to shoot 5x indoors With usable results it is a practical jump, beyond marketing. If we add a 5x portrait with Most natural Bakehthe module gains versatility inside and outside the home.
More clues about cameras configuration
Along with the improvement of 5x, rumors also indicate adjustments in the rest of the set. He 200 MP main sensor I would adopt one more luminous opening; he Teleobjective of 3 increases would go to 12 MP with a clearer optics, and the Ultra wide angle It would also win luminosity. It is necessary to know details such as the exact size of each sensor or the processing that Samsung will apply in One UI, but the road map seems clear: more light and less noise on all fronts.
Rear cameras (rumors):
- Main: 200 MP, Opening F/1.4.
- Ultra wide angle: 50 MP, Opening F/1.5.
- Teleobjective of 3 Increases: 12 MP, Opening f/2.4.
- 5x Periscopic Teleobjective: 50 MP, Opening F/2.9.
As always, we talk about Filtrations and details can change to the official announcement. Even so, the pattern is consistent: Samsung would adjust the optics to gain light where it shows most in practice.
A key step for the Galaxy S26 ultra zoom
If confirmed, the arrival of the F/2.9 In 5x It can be just the improvement needed by Ultra users to get better photos inside and night without giving up. Now the question is clear: do you think Samsung arrives on time with this improvement of teleobjective or did you expect a greater jump in sensors?
