The Internet may be abuzz with talk of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro Still, that hasn't stopped leakers from releasing new information about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is still visible beyond the distant horizon

Noted leaker Ice Universe posted new details about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra's camera on X (formerly Twitter) He said that while some of the shooters from the S24 Ultra will not change, one major upgrade could allow the Ultra to outperform the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max scheduled for Apple's “glow time” event

According to leaks, the S25 Ultra's ultrawide camera could get a significant upgrade, jumping to a 50MP ultrawide camera with a 1/252-inch sensor, 07µm pixels, and an f/19 aperture Like many modern smartphone cameras, it will employ pixel binning (combining multiple pixels into larger virtual pixels) to improve image quality and low-light performance

For comparison, the Galaxy S24 Ultra, which takes superior ultrawide images, offers a 1/255-inch sensor and a 12MP shooter with 14μm pixels When these two models are placed side by side, the difference is obvious The increase in resolution alone is enough to make this change exciting Combine that with the pixel change and you will see some amazing ultra-wide angle images that rival those taken with the primary lens

According to Ice Universe, there are no changes to the other cameras The primary lens remains a 200MP camera; the 3x remains a 10MP lens (initial rumors suggested that the 3x could also be 50MP, but that does not appear to be the case), and the 5x remains 50MP

The iPhone 16 Pro Max, Samsung's biggest competitor in the high-end smartphone arena, is rumored to have a 48MP ultra-wide lens, which if the rumors are accurate, would put it on the same level as Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra Of course, since this is a rumor, it should be taken with a grain of salt, as there is always the possibility that it could be inaccurate or plans could change as the S25 Ultra's launch approaches
