Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Camera Protective Films Leak

The latest leak comes from popular tipster Ice Universe @UniverseIce, who shared the image of protective films on X (formerly Twitter).

The images confirm the design of the camera modules across the Galaxy S26 Edge, Galaxy S26 Pro, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, matching earlier dummy unit leaks. Interestingly, the protective film for the Galaxy S26 Ultra only covers its three main sensors inside the pill-shaped camera housing.

Additional Details About the Galaxy S26 Series

Apart from the protective film leak, earlier reports also suggested that all three Galaxy S26 smartphones will feature displays with an anti-reflective coating for improved visibility.

When it comes to camera hardware, the Galaxy S26 Pro is rumoured to include –

• The main camera of the same size as its predecessor
• The industry’s smallest 10MP telephoto camera
• An additional 50MP rear sensor
• A 1080p resolution display

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is tipped to feature –

• The same ISOCELL HP2 main sensor (f/1.4)
• A 50MP periscope telephoto camera (1/2.52″ sensor)
• A 10MP telephoto lens (f/2.4, 1.0μm pixels, 1/3.94″, 3x zoom)

However, based on these rumoured specs, both the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Ultra appear to be receiving downgrades in their camera hardware compared to previous generations.

With the official launch just months away, these leaks continue to build anticipation around Samsung’s upcoming flagship series, especially for users closely following design and camera improvements.
