Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra may revive the variable aperture camera feature, which was last seen on the Galaxy S9. The rumored phone could use this technology to switch between different aperture settings depending on lighting conditions, potentially upgrading its 200-megapixel main camera. This feature would allow for more control over depth of field and could be a noticeable upgrade given recent Ultra models have larger sensors than older Galaxy phones. However, it remains to be seen if this rumor has any merit and will ultimately determine the phone’s camera capabilities.
