Samsung Galaxy S26 selfie change: what today’s reports mean for selfie fans

Introduction: Samsung Galaxy S26 selfie change

Recent reports suggest Samsung may change the Galaxy S26 selfie approach — rumors alternately point to an under-display camera (UDC) trial or a decision to keep the hole-punch to avoid quality tradeoffs. Either outcome matters to selfie and video-call fans.

Main things

• Under-display camera rumor: Some leaks expected UDC tech to migrate from Fold to S-series, giving a full-screen look but historically weaker selfie quality. Samsung reportedly re-evaluated the move.
• Why Samsung might hold off: UDCs often deliver lower detail and color accuracy than exposed sensors. For a flagship selfie experience, a visible punch-hole still yields better optics and autofocus.
• What fans should watch: If you prioritize selfie quality (higher megapixels, autofocus, low-light performance), check final S26 marketing and sample shots rather than early renders. Leakers still vary on the S26 selfie plan.

Conclusion

Samsung’s decision will balance aesthetics vs. real image quality. Selfie-first buyers should wait for official sample images or hands-on reviews before upgrading. Rumors remain mixed; hold off final buying decisions until confirmed.
