Samsung has released three short teaser videos hinting at expected camera-related changes to the Galaxy S26 series. Titled “Closer,” “Groove,” and “Glow,” the shorts focus on zoom, low-light photography, and video recording in dark environments. While the company has yet to confirm specific details, visuals suggest the Galaxy S26 Ultra may feature updates to how the camera handles distance and limited light.
Focus on long-range zoom performance
In the first trailer, “Closer,” the camera starts in the distance and moves to a dog sitting in a car. This clip highlights how the subject remains sharp when the camera is close. Samsung seems to be hinting at changes to long-range zoom and video clarity. In many phones, image quality degrades when users zoom in, especially during video recording. The teaser suggests Samsung is working on fixing the issue. However, a disclaimer in the video states that the background was created using artificial tools. The detail raises questions about how closely the clip mirrors real-world camera output.

low light photography
The second trailer for “Groove” shifts the focus to low-light scenes. The video shows musical performers working under dim lights while cameras brighten the scene and restore color. Samsung added a caption pointing out nighttime use. That could mean an update to the company’s low-light camera system, which combines hardware and software to capture photos and videos in dark places. Samsung first launched the system a few years ago and continues to tweak it with each release. The trailer doesn’t confirm whether these changes rely on the camera sensor, software processing, or both.

Record video in the dark
The final trailer, “Glow,” once again focuses on recording in a dark environment. The title states that the phone can record bright footage even if the surrounding environment is dark. Samsung didn’t explain how the device achieved this result. Industry observers believe the Galaxy S26 Ultra may introduce different shooting modes using its main camera sensor. By grouping pixels differently, the phone allows more light to reach the sensor during recording.
Samsung has yet to reveal a release date or full specifications for the Galaxy S26 series. The teaser video suggests that camera performance will remain a key focus when the company officially announces it.
