AI-generated summary
Samsung releases annual hardware updates for the Galaxy S series. Leaks show that the company may make radical changes in its camera strategy.
The entire Galaxy S27 Ultra camera hardware has been revealed in a new leak. Allegedly, Samsung may reduce the four cameras to three in the Ultra model this year. Moreover, the camera hardware of the S27 and S27 Plus remains the same as last year's models.
Galaxy S27 Ultra camera and model list
According to the leak, the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus will use the same small ultra-wide and zoom cameras as their predecessors. These two models have a 50MP main camera (Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG), a 12MP ultra-wide and a 10MP 3x zoom camera.
The rumored Galaxy S27 Pro is more assertive. A 200MP ISOCELL HP6 main camera and a 50MP JN3 or IMX855 ultra-wide camera are expected on the phone. On the zoom side, there is a 10MP 3x camera. So the Pro is a step ahead of the base models, but it doesn't reach the Ultra level.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra will share the same main and ultra-wide camera as the Pro. The 3x telephoto is replaced by a 50MP 5x camera. This camera is expected to have a Sony IMX855 or Samsung S5KJN3 sensor. The front camera includes 16MP S5K2P5 for Ultra and Pro.
Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus: 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x zoom
Galaxy S27 Pro: 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, 10MP 3x zoom
Galaxy S27 Ultra: 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, 50MP 5x zoom
Galaxy S27 Ultra camera system gets 3x zoom
The 10MP zoom sensor on the Pro S5K3LD comes from the Galaxy S26 Ultra and measures just 1/3.94 inches. When the sensor is small, the pixels also remain small. Therefore, when the light decreases, the noise in the image increases. Low resolution also limits detail when you zoom out or crop.
Removing the 3x camera in Ultra may affect portrait shooting. The main camera is about 23mm, the 5x camera is about 105mm focal length. Therefore, it is necessary to close the gap with digital cropping and software. Instead of natural bokeh, computational processing comes into play more. Pixel and iPhone series follow a similar path.
The 5x camera also has its advantages. The large JN3/IMX855 sensor and 50MP resolution can comfortably reach 10x zoom in good light. However, a better solution would be to move the 200MP sensor from the main camera to the zoom lens.
Competitors on 200MP zoom camera
Chinese brands have already adopted this method. For example, Xiaomi Ultra, OPPO Find X and vivo X series have switched to large sensor telephoto cameras. OPPO uses three 200MP cameras on the Find X10 Pro Max. In the comparison, Find X10 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S26 Ultra in almost every area.
The price side is also a point to pay attention to. The standard OPPO Find X10 retails for £1,149 in the UK, a few hundred pounds cheaper than the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Galaxy S27 series is expected to start at $999, with the Ultra priced at $1,200 and above.
