Samsung Teases Galaxy S26 Camera Upgrades as New Leak Points to Modest Price Hikes

Fresh French price leaks point to modest increases for the lineup.

Overview

  • Samsung released three official teasers—“Closer,” “Groove,” and “Glow”—highlighting long‑range zoom, low‑light video capture, and AI‑driven framing for the Galaxy S26 series.
  • Fine print on the zoom clip notes an AI‑generated background, prompting reviewers to caution that the footage may not reflect real‑world camera output.
  • Dealabs’ France pricing leak lists Galaxy S26 at €999 (256GB), S26+ at €1,269 (256GB), and S26 Ultra at €1,469 (256GB), with Ultra models at €1,669 (512GB) and €1,969 (1TB).
  • Other European leaks conflict—some suggesting larger increases—so final regional pricing remains unconfirmed ahead of the expected February 25 Unpacked event.
  • Leaked specs for the S26 Ultra point to a 200MP main camera, a 50MP 5x periscope, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 in some regions, up to 16GB of RAM, roughly a 5,000mAh battery, and reports of faster 60W charging.
