- Samsung is apparently thinking about a variable aperture for the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s main camera.
- The company first offered this feature on the Galaxy S9 series but dropped it with the Galaxy S20 range.
- A variable aperture would allow for greater control over focusing, light capture, and depth-of-field effects.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra is a mostly incremental upgrade over the Galaxy S24 Ultra, although the new phone does bring an upgraded ultrawide camera. Now, a reliable tipster has claimed that the S26 Ultra could gain a camera hardware feature first seen on older Galaxy flagships.
Leaker Ice Universe claimed on Weibo that Samsung is considering a variable aperture for the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s main camera. The user didn’t offer more details regarding this feature.
