200 MP periscope telephoto cameras are becoming really popular with Chinese smartphone makers, after the introduction on the vivo X100 Ultra<\/a> and the subsequent use of the same module on the X200 Pro<\/a>. And out of five super-flagships coming this year from China, three will employ such a camera.<\/p>\n The good news for Samsung fans is that the Korean company is now said to have begun the evaluation process for using a 200 MP periscope telephoto camera, with a 1\/1.5-inch type sensor (ever so slightly smaller than the 1\/1.4-inch type vivo uses).<\/p>\n If Samsung decides on using it, then it will most likely make it to the Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>, which is going to be released next year and might be called S26 Note<\/a>. That would, in theory, make Samsung’s 2026 flagship smartphone on par, in this regard, with vivo’s flagship for the earlier part of 2024. Still, you know how the saying goes – better late than never.<\/p>\n Of course there’s a chance this rumor isn’t accurate, and there’s also a chance Samsung will eventually decide against going this route, as it’s still very early days with regard to the development of the S26 Ultra. We’ll keep you posted.<\/p>\n![\"Samsung](\"https:\/\/fdn.gsmarena.com\/imgroot\/news\/25\/01\/galaxy-s26-ultra-new-periscope-telephoto-camera\/inline\/-1200w5\/gsmarena_001.jpg\"\/)
