    The camera system is fantastic, but the real-world upgrade is the shutter speed and low-light performance. Trying to get a sharp photo of a fast-moving child is the ultimate stress test for any smartphone camera. The wider f/1.4 aperture on the new 200MP main lens lets in so much light that I can finally snap clear, unblurred photos of my kid indoors without having to force them to stand perfectly still. The 5x optical zoom is also incredibly sharp for capturing moments from further away.

    The S25 Ultra was already a great device. This year the S26 Ultra is mostly a minor upgrade, but the thing that matters most to me is the camera. This year the sensor lets in more light and the low-light performance is fantastic. It seems like they toned down the AI processing so photos look more natural too. Overall I love the device and look forward to several years with it!
