Samsung is testing a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera: S26 Ultra takes stable photos

 Samsung is currently testing a new 200-megapixel telephoto camera sensor, which is expected to become an important upgrade highlight of the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

It is reported that the 200-megapixel telephoto camera sensor that Samsung is evaluating has an optical size of 1/1.5 inches.

However, this sensor has not yet been released, but considering that the Galaxy S Ultra series has always been the launch platform for Samsung’s new camera technology, this 200MP telephoto camera is likely to be first used in the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra .

Although the Galaxy S26 Ultra is still some time away from its release, its imaging configuration has already attracted much attention.

It is rumored that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera is expected to use a 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 50-megapixel upright telephoto camera, and a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. This configuration will enable the S26 Ultra to achieve a qualitative leap in detail capture and optical quality.

So far, domestic mobile phones such as vivo X100 Ultra, X200 Pro and Honor Magic 7 Pro have taken the lead in using 200-megapixel periscope telephoto lenses, and Samsung’s upgrade this time will undoubtedly give it a more advantageous position in the imaging competition.

In addition, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which will be released this year, is also reported to be equipped with a 200-megapixel main camera, a 50-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 10-megapixel telephoto camera and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, which also demonstrates Samsung’s continued investment in imaging hardware and its determination to upgrade.
