Samsung’s Galaxy S26 May Have an Even Extra Ridiculous Camera Zoom

The launch of the next-gen Galaxy S26 is probably going simply across the nook, and Samsung is beginning to drop some main hints about what we will anticipate. Among the latest clues are hints of digital camera upgrades, together with one teaser that foreshadows enhancements to one of many Galaxy telephone’s most spectacular options: zoom.

In this official teaser from Samsung, the corporate appears to tease an enhanced zoom functionality that exhibits somebody narrowing in from very distant on a canine sporting sun shades inside a automotive. In case you had any doubt that it’s zoom that Samsung is showcasing right here, there’s textual content that claims “closer” on the display screen.

For context, the current-gen Galaxy S25 Ultra already has as much as 10x optical zoom, or as much as 100x digitally enhanced zoom by the corporate’s Space Zoom characteristic. It’s industry-leading and spectacular to say the least, however apparently we ain’t seen nothin’ but. It’s arduous to say which finish of the zoom equation the Galaxy S26 will enhance on, optical or digital, but when I needed to guess, it’d be the latter. Get prepared for an AI-enhanced zoom, I suppose?

It’s not simply zoom that Samsung is teasing, although. In a separate short teaser video (or two, actually), the corporate additionally means that the S26 can have an enhanced night time mode for movies and possibly photographs. There’s not a lot to unpack right here, however each movies present a scene going from darkish to a lot lighter with phrases like “glow” and “groove” superimposed on the state of affairs. Again, that is already one other robust swimsuit of Galaxy telephones, which have lengthy had night-specific options for photographs, together with one geared towards astrophotography. Even if Galaxy telephones already has nice night time images, it’s good to see Samsung continues to be doubtlessly transferring that ball ahead.

There’s not a lot else we all know formally by Samsung but, however latest leaks from Evan Blass have steered that the date of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 launch could also be quickly approaching. According to a post on X from Blass late final month, Feb. 25 is the deliberate launch date for Samsung’s new era of Galaxy telephones. With that launch, we’ll additionally probably get the Galaxy Buds 4 and 4 Pro, Samsung’s new era of wi-fi earbuds.

While the zoom and night time mode look good, I wouldn’t anticipate something enormous on the design facet of issues. Leaked images from OnLeaks via Android Headlines counsel that the brand new Samsung Galaxy 26 Ultra will look loads just like the previous Samsung Galaxy 25 Ultra, however I suppose that’s excellent news for anybody who already likes present look. Groundbreaking improve or not, it seems to be like we’re zooming in direction of some solutions quickly, so we’ll probably goodbye this month for extra official updates on what the Galaxy S26 has in retailer.
