Galaxy S26 Ultra may handle night shots better than its predecessor

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR The Galaxy S26 Ultra may have the same sensor for its main camera as last year. However, a rumor suggests that the sensor will have a wider f/1.4 aperture. The wider aperture could improve low-light imaging. We’re still far out from the release of the Galaxy S26 series; Samsung hasn’t even launched the Galaxy S25 FE yet. But a new rumor has us thinking about the company’s next flagship, specifically its Ultra model. This rumor suggests that Samsung could

Gear News of the Week: Insta360 Debuts a Drone Company, and DJI Surprises With an 8K 360 Camera
