Samsung Galaxy S26 series is coming in early 2026, and it’s finally shaking things up with a new main camera sensor. The resolution of the base Galaxy S26’s main camera sensor stays at 50MP, but this upgrade could be a game-changer.

For too long, Samsung’s base Galaxy S flagship models have leaned on the same 50MP ISOCELL GN3 sensor. It powered the 2023’s Galaxy S23, 2024’s Galaxy S24, and S25, delivering solid shots but nothing groundbreaking.

The Galaxy S26 base model is said to be sticking with 50MP, but it’s getting a new Samsung ISOCELL GN series camera sensor. This camera upgrade feels like Samsung playing it smart, not flashy.

At present, we don’t know much else about the potential camera sensor. It might have larger pixels or better AI processing, common in Samsung’s ISOCELL tech. A new sensor could make photos crisper and night shots less grainy.

It’ll likely have a fast chip, like the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 or Exynos 2600, for smooth performance and efficiency. Before the S26, Samsung plans to launch the Z Flip 7 and Z Fold 7 this July, with an S25 FE might come too, offering a cheaper option.

If you’re rocking an S23 or S24, the S26’s new sensor might be worth the upgrade. The Galaxy S26 series should land around February 2026, right on Samsung’s usual schedule.

Rumors suggest that the new lineup will be equipped with One UI 8.5, built on Android 16. It will follow up on the One UI 8.0 that is set to debut with the upcoming foldable phones.
