Summary
A new 23mm front camera gives the Galaxy S26 Ultra a wider selfie view than the previous 25mm lens, fitting more people and background without heavy distortion.
Samsung pairs that hardware change with a new AI ISP that treats skin, hair and eyebrows as separate textures, aiming to preserve natural skin tones and finer facial detail.
New AI styles in the Gallery app keep edited selfies closer to the original image than on the S25 Ultra, while still adding stylized looks.
Generative editing also expands: users can remove photobombers, rewrite image elements with text prompts, and now review a step-by-step edit history to undo specific changes.
The package makes the S26 Ultra's selfie system one of Samsung's bigger front-camera upgrades in recent years, combining optics, processing and on-device editing tools.
