Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature variable aperture camera

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature a main camera with a variable aperture, a capability last seen in the Galaxy S9. This allows the camera to adjust its lens opening based on lighting conditions. The variable aperture could enhance the performance of the 200-megapixel main camera, especially with larger sensors in recent models. This feature is also present in competitors like the Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Huawei Mate 50 Pro. The inclusion of a variable aperture would provide more control over photo quality, reducing reliance on software processing. However, it remains uncertain how significant this upgrade will be for users.
