Same as on my phone.

Not sure why this would be a problem though.

Sorry guys, i did not meant say it's a problem, only posted it out of curiosity. Another thing I like to ask everyone to check the periscope zoom lens quality with previous ultra models please, i found out my galaxy S23 ultras zoom quality is better than the s26 ultra.

The S26 Ultra uses a prism lens system
Its not using a periscope lens like on the earlier devices upto the S25 Ultra
So will be a bit different

Oh ok, thanks. This means 100 time zoom won't be good as earlier ultras which means losing 100 times zoom clarity, that's sad.

To be honest
Anything after 10X Zoom loses quality
Thats on all these phones that have these types of lenses
Google uses AI to enhance the photos, but that gets it more wrong than it gets right
Phone camera sensors are so small. Its the limitation of small sensors
That said I've not noticed much difference between the S25 Ultra and S26 Ultra zooms

I am in Canada and also have this 1 November 2025 update on my S26 Ultra.

Tried a bunch of stuff like clearing play services/store app cache and data thinking it was just me, but finding this thread makes me think it's normal, so thank you for creating this.
