With the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra to be officially announced within a month, we already have a pretty solid idea of what to expect. But that hasn't stopped leaks, the latest being a roadmap that seems to provide details on the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra alongside the S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra.

The information comes from Twitter/X leaker @Tech_Reve, who has posted a number of Samsung-related leaks in recent days. They claim that the S24 Ultra will have a new 50MP "folding telephoto" upgrade with 0.7μm pixels, which we have already heard about.

The Galaxy S23 Ultra has two 10MP telephoto lenses, so the increased resolution is welcome. However, if this leak is accurate, it means that the pixel size has shrunk from 1.12µm, which is not ideal. Larger pixels can collect more useful light and thus produce better images with less noise. However, there is only so much that can be learned from the specs, and it would be impossible to properly compare the two lenses without actually shooting with them.

Now, let's talk about future Ultra phones, starting with the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Apparently, the phone will have an upgraded main lens (called a wide-angle lens), an upgraded folding telephoto lens with "variable functionality," and a 50MP ultra-wide-angle It appears that the lens will be included.

We had heard that a variable telephoto lens could be featured on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, allowing for two different optical zooms without requiring two different lenses. Judging from recent leaks, this may not be true, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra may be similar.

The S26 Ultra's main lens is claimed to have a 200MP sensor, 0.7μm pixel, 1/1.10" sensor. This sensor is slightly larger than the 1/1.3-inch sensor currently in the S23 Ultra and should improve low-light imaging and dynamic range.

However, both of these phones are quite a ways off, and things could change before they actually arrive; as for the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which is believed to be locked on now, recent leaks indicate a 200MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra wide-angle lens, and two 50MP telephoto lenses with 5x and 3x optical zoom, respectively.
