Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Series Teasers Hint At Massively Improved Neural Framing, Low-Light Photography, And Zoom Capabilities, Top-Of-The-Line Variant To Cost Over $2,300 In France

With barely three weeks left until Samsung removes the wraps from this year's Galaxy S26 series, the South Korean tech behemoth is now entering its most aggressive marketing phase to build up excitement and buzz around the upcoming smartphones.

To that end, Samsung has just dropped three short teaser videos that hint at the Galaxy S26 series' massively improved neural framing, low-light photography, and zoom capabilities.

Samsung is teasing massive photography-related improvements for the upcoming Galaxy S26 series

Last week, Samsung teased the Privacy Display feature of the upcoming Galaxy S26 series. The feature uses Flex Magic Pixel OLED technology that leverages AI to dim angular viewing angles without affecting the screen brightness for head-on viewing. This would prevent anyone from snooping on your smartphone-related activities from lateral angles.

Now, Samsung has released three new videos in short order:

Groove

This video highlights the Galaxy S26 series' substantially improved low-light video recording capabilities, suggesting sharper and clearer videos in poor-light conditions.

Glow

This video again highlights the Galaxy S26 series' low-light video recording prowess, showing a woman dancing while holding fireworks at night.

Closer

This video highlights the Galaxy S26 series' superior zoom abilities. Interestingly, all three videos end with an "AI phone" branding, which suggests the presence of enhanced neural framing abilities on the upcoming smartphones.

These videos align with what we know of the camera setup on the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, which is expected to feature:

1. A 12MP ISOCELL 3LD S5K3LD 3x telephoto (possibly with a smaller, 1/3.94-inch aperture)
2. A single 200MP ISOCELL HP2 main camera (possibly with a brighter f/1.5 aperture)
3. A 50MP ISOCELL JN3 or Sony IMX564 ultrawide camera
4. A 50MP IMX854 5x periscope camera (possibly with a wider and faster f/2.9 aperture)
5. A 12MP IMX874 selfie camera

Samsung is also expected to bring major improvements to the overall camera experience by bringing the following:

1. An Advanced Video Professional (AVP) codec that would allow users to capture RAW videos with a higher bitrate and more granular details, enabling greater flexibility in the post-production phase.
2. Support for TILTA wireless lens controllers, which is the same hardware that is used to adjust focus in professional cameras.
3. 'Enhanced lens and coating technology' will no longer turn skin tones yellow in images.
4. The Camera Assistant app will allow users to reduce harsh details, yielding a softer, more natural-looking photo.

As we noted recently in a dedicated post, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to sport a number of color options, including the stunning Cobalt Violet, Black Shadow, White Shadow, and Galactic Blue. Do note that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to debut with rounded edges, a dedicated camera island featuring a triple-camera setup, an all-black color option (including the frame), a USB-C port, an S Pen, and a 5,000mAh battery (some sources have pointed to a 5,200mAh battery).

However, even though it was previously rumored, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is now not expected to feature the Qi2 built-in magnets, which would have unlocked an entire ecosystem of MagSafe accessories.

Elsewhere, we've just received an inkling as to the pricing of the Galaxy S26 series in France, where the base S26 (256GB) is expected to go on sale for EUR 999, the S26+ (256GB) for EUR 1,269, and the S26 Ultra (256GB) for EUR 1,469. What's more, the top-of-the-line S26 Ultra variant will cost a whopping EUR 1,969 or $2,324 in France.
