Reality check: After a somewhat imaginative leaker raised high hopes for major camera changes in the Galaxy S26 Ultra a few days ago, early debug tests reveal what is probably a more realistic "upgrade" that Samsung has planned for the successor to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. At least charging tests indicate noticeable improvements in fast charging. (Update: New camera app features such as 24 MP photos will be standard, like on the iPhone 17.)
