The Variable opening in smartphones cameras It is a characteristic that some manufacturers. Models such as the Huawei Mate50 Pro, Xiaomi 13 Ultra are some examples, and even Samsung played with that idea with their Samsung Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9 Plus and in its immediate successor, allowing to vary between an opening of f/1.5 and another of f/2.4 in the same sensor

This technology allows to control the amount of light that enters the sensor through a mechanical diaphragm system that regulates the size of the hole through which it passes. This allows to play with different photography parameters, such as the broader approach, beyond the regulation of light along with ISO and exhibition.

It seems that Samsung wants to recover this technology, and the Next Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra could integrate a camera with variable opening lens As a distinctive element of the highest range, a quite monotonous sector lately without too many innovations for a few years. This variable lens would be integrated into the main sensor, which would also be accompanied by a new periscopic sensor of greater resolution, which could also have a variable lens to regulate the zoom.

The information comes from the “Leaker” Ice Universe, which in the past has successfully leaked a good number of information about the Korean manufacturer.
