With the Galaxy S26 series, Samsung introduced a new 24MP shooting option in the main camera app. While Galaxy phones continue to default to 12MP, users can now choose 24MP, 50MP, or 200MP on supported models. However, some users have noticed that photos occasionally revert to 12MP even after selecting 24MP. Why does your Galaxy phone’s camera switch to 12MP? They had to relaunch the camera to get 24MP photos again.
