Last Rumor.... 3x Camera S26U!

This seems to be quite illogical; the outdated 3x camera on the S26U is reportedly being downgraded, which would make it even more antiquated.

It appears they are reluctant to remove it, presumably to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the camera array on the back of the device.

Looks like I will have to do a preset for 2.9x so I can use the main camera instead.

I know it's a rumor, but all specs have leaked.

Samsung, the king of yesterday's camera hardware.

I cannot believe they downgraded an already CROP camera to make it even CROPPIER!

You will need to continuously go to apps and clear cache to keep on top of your storage situation.

Get a micro SD card and keep pictures and video on that.

The biggest frustration is we've been in a recycled camera situation before and samsung handled it much better, the S6-S9 reused a lot of the same camera components (iirc the S7-S8 had identical cameras) but during that era samsung put an emphasis on slimming the camera hardware down to remove the bump. The logic went, if we arent getting a better camera then at least make it more ergonomic.

Here we are a decade later and not only is samsung recycling and outright downgrading their cameras generationally, they cant even give us a better designed camera with less of a bump.

I don't care about the bump honestly, I use a case.
To take an already CROP camera and make it practically useless is beyond ridiculous.
