All of those familiar Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Ultra camera specs are now practically etched in stone

Why is the S26 Pro even called that way?

Unfortunately, those hopes are being shattered… again today, at least as far as camera specs are concerned. Based on whispers around the supply chain, it appears that the Galaxy S26 Pro will pack a triple rear-facing snapper system composed of a 50MP primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom while employing a single 12MP front-facing camera for selfie duties.

Don’t lose all hope just yet!

If you’ve been following the mobile industry for more than a couple of days, you probably already know that megapixel counts are not everything. Real-world photography performance can also be improved in a number of other ways, including software optimizations (which are almost always a thing on new Galaxy flagships), and perhaps more importantly, new camera sensors.

Should you be excited about the Galaxy S26 family?

Call me an incorrigible dreamer if you want, but I think so. You should probably be cautiously excited, though, especially if you don’t particularly like the Galaxy S25, S25 Edge, and S25 Ultra for some reason.

Clearly, the three’s sequels will feel extremely familiar in many ways, but there are still plenty of unanswered questions and relatively promising rumors floating around the interwebs to hope that you’ll be able to pick a Galaxy S26-series device in a lineup.

If you think the phone on the right looks better than the one on the left, you’ll probably love the S26 Ultra’s design. | Image Credit — PhoneArt on X”&nbsp
