As anticipation builds for Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series, new leaks hint that the next-generation flagship may not bring any major camera upgrades. Despite a potential renaming to Galaxy S26 Pro 5G, the device is expected to retain a familiar triple-camera setup, much like its predecessors.
According to recent reports, Samsung is gearing up to launch the Galaxy S26 lineup within the next three months. The South Korean tech giant may also tweak its naming strategy this year — the base model, previously called Galaxy S25, could now debut as the Galaxy S26 Pro 5G, potentially causing some confusion among buyers.
Camera Leaks: Same Setup, Minor Sensor Updates
Reliable tipster Erencan Yılmaz shared fresh insights on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that the Galaxy S26 Pro 5G will likely feature a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP telephoto sensor — the same configuration used in recent S-series generations.
The post further indicates that Samsung will once again use its S5KGN3 main sensor, along with the S5K3K1 telephoto and Sony IMX564 ultrawide sensors. On the front, the phone is expected to feature Samsung’s S5K3LU sensor for selfies.
If these details hold true, the Galaxy S26 Pro 5G may focus on software optimization and image processing improvements rather than introducing new hardware.
Performance and Hardware Expectations
Beyond cameras, the tipster also hinted that Samsung will equip the device with its in-house Exynos 2600 processor, continuing the company’s push toward self-developed chipsets. The smartphone is also expected to come with a 4,300mAh battery, delivering balanced performance and efficiency.
Notably, this suggests Samsung may once again skip Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for its base model — reserving the higher-end Snapdragon processor for Ultra or region-specific variants.
Launch Timeline and Expectations
While Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed any launch date, the Galaxy S26 series is expected to debut in early 2026, with leaks becoming more frequent in the weeks ahead.
Industry watchers believe the company will emphasize AI-driven camera features and longer software support under One UI 8.5, rather than focusing solely on hardware changes.
As with all leaks, these details remain unofficial until Samsung’s formal announcement.
