Ice Universe says the Galaxy S26 Ultra isn't getting a new sensor for the main camera

Ice Universe just poured cold water on people hoping for a sensor upgrade on the 200MP main camera on the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, there is still a fairly important upgrade coming, says the leakster. The S26 Ultra will use the same ISOCELL HP2 1/1.3” sensor that Samsung has been using since the S23 Ultra.

Infinix Hot 60 Pro unboxing and hands-on

This is the Infinix Hot 60 Pro, and it's the more conventional phone in the new series. While its sibling, the 60 Pro+, is a bit thinner and curvier, the Hot 60 Pro is nearly as thin and light, but has a flat design that some will like better. The regular Hot 60 Pro also has a few hardware advantages over its Pro+ counterpart - you get a dedicated AI assistant button under the volume and power keys, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
