Samsung has officially teased some of the major camera upgrades coming in its Galaxy S26 flagship smartphone series.
If rumours are to be believed – and when it comes to this sort of thing, they generally are – Samsung will be launching its new flagship smartphone series on 25 February. That’s exactly three weeks from today.
We’re now entering the period when a major manufacturer will start teasing the features for its hot new product. Samsung, for its part, has just posted three teaser videos highlighting the Galaxy S26’s new camera capabilities as part of GalaxyAI.
Samsung doesn’t mention the S26 by name, but it’s not too difficult to put two and two together since one hashtag with each video is GalaxyUnpacked and the mention of “the all new Galaxy”.
This first video, title Closer, seems to suggest that the Galaxy S26 will be getting a major AI zoom boost. It shows the camera viewfinder zooming in on a dog with impressive clarity.
It’s worth noting the small print that reveals the image is simulated, and that it “contains an AI generated background image with edits”, so take that level of quality with a pinch of salt.
The next video is titled Glow, and seems to depict several revellers dancing with sparklers. The video is in slow motion, indicating a high FPS count, and has also been shot in low light.
“It looks dark. It films bright” reads the description, indicating that the company is looking at improving video capture in demanding environments.
The final video is along similar lines. Titled Groove, it shows a DJ (again in slow motion and low light) bopping along to the track they’re playing.
“Light up your night,” reads the description. Night time videography looks set to take a big step forward with the Galaxy S26.
Samsung is tipped to launch three new phones on 25 February at an Unpacked event: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
We’re not expecting huge hardware innovations (aside from a fancy new privacy screen for the Ultra) and Qi2 magnetic charging, so we may need to look to AI enhancements such as this for any real progress.
