Have smartphones gone as far as they can when it comes to cameras? While other aspects of phones see ongoing improvements — especially AI — there’s only so many lenses and megapixels you can pack in to today’s models.
Even the best camera phones are having a hard time making yearly advances. For instance, the Galaxy S25 Ultra features the same 200MP megapixel rating as the Galaxy S23 Ultra, even if Samsung did boost the size of the pixels for the S24 Ultra. It sounds as if next year's Galaxy S26 Ultra won't introduce big changes to the main camera, either. Instead, Samsung seems more focused on AI-backed camera improvements.
