The Samsung Galaxy S25 series will make its debut at the Galaxy Unpacked event tomorrow, January 22. Ahead of the announcement, we’re already seeing leaks about next year’s flagship, the Galaxy S26 lineup. It is said that the South Korean giant may adopt ‘silicon-carbon’ battery technology for the next generation model. Now, the latest leak emerging from Weibo claims that Samsung is evaluating a 200MP periscope telephoto camera.
Samsung’s 200MP periscope telephoto camera
- Going into details, tipster DigitalChatStation on Weibo says that Samsung has started evaluating its 200MP periscope telephoto camera With 1/1.5-inch type.
- In comparison, the Vivo X200 Pro’s 200MP periscope telephoto is of the 1/1.4-inch type.
- Although DCS has not mentioned it explicitly, there is speculation that this sensor could be used in the next flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra aka S26 Note.

- In comparison, the Galaxy S24 Ultra has a 50MP telephoto lens With 5x zoom and a 10MP telephoto lens With 3x zoom. The Galaxy S25 Ultra is also rumored to have a similar setup.
- Furthermore, the tipster says that this could be the next popular trend and that three out of the five flagships coming this year will have a 200MP telephoto lens.
- Although Samsung is said to be evaluating, there is a possibility that the brand may decide against including the 200MP periscope telephoto sensor in the final hardware. We suggest you take this initial leak with a pinch of salt for now.
a recent leak claimed A change in naming style may be seen in Samsung’s flagship. It is being said that the Ultra variant may be branded as Note, while the Plus will be called ‘Pro’. If it is successful, Samsung’s next flagships could be the Galaxy S26 Note and Galaxy S26 Pro. The name of Galaxy S26 may remain the same.
Additionally, Samsung is also reportedly working on adopting new silicon-carbon battery technology for its next flagships, possibly the Galaxy S26 series. This could help Samsung include larger capacity battery capacities while not making the design larger. There are also rumors that the South Korean giant is bringing a display upgrade to the 2026 Ultra flagship by implementing ‘color-filter-on-thin-film-encapsulation’ (CoE) technology to reduce thickness and increase light transmittance.
The Samsung Galaxy S26 series may be in the early stages of development and may launch globally and in India around January 2026 like its predecessors.
