Leaked CAD renders suggest Samsung's Galaxy S27 Ultra and S27 Pro will feature a new rear camera plateau design, moving away from the traditional individual camera rings. This change aims to enhance the aesthetic and functionality of the devices.1

The S27 Ultra is expected to maintain similar dimensions to its predecessor, with the S Pen slot still present on the bottom-left side. The S27 Pro, identified as the smaller model, will adopt the same camera layout but will not include the S Pen.7

According to leaker Sonny Dickson, the new design groups the rear sensors into a single, pronounced hardware section, which could improve the overall camera performance. Samsung may replace its current 3x telephoto camera with a more capable 200MP primary sensor that can handle both standard photography and intermediate zoom levels between 3x and 5x.

Additionally, the Galaxy S27 Ultra is rumored to include built-in Qi2 magnets for enhanced compatibility with various accessories. The launch of the Galaxy S27 series, including the S27 Ultra, S27, S27 Plus, and S27 Pro, is anticipated in early 2027.5

“Instead of placing camera lenses in individually separated rings along the rear panel, Samsung may use a wider raised camera plateau,” noted a source.

The shift in design reflects Samsung's ongoing efforts to innovate and improve its flagship offerings, as the company prepares for the upcoming release.

Key Insight
“The new design reportedly drops the 3x telephoto camera in favor of a 200MP primary sensor that handles intermediate zoom, and the Ultra may gain built-in Qi2 magnets for magnetic accessories. The S27 Pro shares the camera layout but omits the S Pen, and the lineup is expected in early 2027.”
