The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is expected to make its debut at an Unpacked event later this month. The Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and the flagship Galaxy S26 Ultra are all likely to get major updates. While the South Korean tech giant is yet to officially confirm the launch of its Galaxy S models, it has released three teaser videos that appear to showcase the handsets' photography capabilities.
The teasers suggest major improvements in zoom, low-light imaging, and video capture.
Zoom That Reaches Further Than Ever
Samsung's first teaser hints at improved zoom performance. The clip shows a user focusing on a dog sitting inside a car from a remarkable distance, seemingly beyond 5x or even 10x magnification, signalling upgrades to Samsung's long-range zoom capabilities. The teaser states that the images include AI-generated backgrounds.

Night Video Gets Brighter
The second teaser highlights the Galaxy S26's potential low-light video capabilities. Featuring a DJ performing in a dimly lit environment, the video carries the caption, “Light up your night,” implying that Samsung aims to deliver brighter and clearer video recordings even in challenging lighting conditions.
Low-Light Video Performance
A third teaser continues to highlight low-light video performance. It shows a woman twirling fireworks at night, paired with the caption, “It looks dark. It films bright.” This suggests possible improvements through better sensors, processing power or AI-assisted brightness and noise control.

According to GSMArena.com, the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra are rumoured to launch on Feb. 25, with sales expected to begin in March.
