Reports Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra will not have an under-display camera

Recent reports indicate that Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra will not feature an under-display camera (UDC) for its front-facing camera. Instead, the device is expected to retain the traditional hole-punch design for the selfie camera. This decision is likely due to ongoing concerns about the image quality and cost associated with current UDC technology.

Samsung has previously incorporated UDC technology in its Galaxy Z Fold series, starting with the Galaxy Z Fold 3 in 2021. However, the implementation received mixed reviews, primarily due to subpar image quality compared to conventional front-facing cameras.

While some earlier rumors suggested that Samsung was testing UDC technology for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, more recent information points towards the company postponing its adoption in the S-series lineup. This move indicates Samsung’s commitment to ensuring optimal camera performance and user experience before integrating new technologies into its flagship devices.
