Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, 200pxls sensor from Sony?

Samsung's next premium smartphone could get a camera upgrade thanks to an unexpected new supplier.

According to the Chinese "leaker" Fixed Focus Digital, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra smartphone, which is expected to be released in early 2026, will be equipped with a 200 Mpxls sensor manufactured by Sony.

A particularly interesting rumor since, until now, the 200 Mpxls sensor of the Galaxy S was supplied by Samsung. Normal, the Korean manufacturer was the only producer of such a component. This information thus corroborates a rumor dating from March 2025, claiming that Sony was in the process of developing such a sensor.

So why adopt this Sony model on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra? Simply because this sensor would be more efficient than the one manufactured by Samsung, notably thanks to dimensions of 1/1.1" larger than the Samsung version (1/1.3" for the Galaxy S25 Ultra). Concretely, such a characteristic makes it possible to capture more light, thus improving the quality of images, particularly in low light conditions.
