- The Galaxy S27 Ultra will replace its pill-shaped vertically housed camera with a bigger camera individually housed over a black square module, while retaining S Pen support.

Samsung's Galaxy S27 Ultra is poised for a major redesign, moving away from its previous camera layout to a more streamlined configuration. The new model will feature a 5,700mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, enhancing efficiency alongside the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen Pro processor.45610111213
The camera setup will include a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP 5x telephoto lens, reducing the total number of rear cameras from four to three. This change not only optimizes internal space but also lowers production costs amid rising memory prices, which have impacted Samsung's mobile division, leading to its first quarterly loss.789
In contrast, the Galaxy S27 Pro will maintain a simpler camera system, featuring the same 200MP main and 50MP ultrawide sensors but only a 12MP 3x telephoto camera, lacking the advanced zoom capabilities of the Ultra model. This decision places Samsung at a competitive disadvantage against rivals like Apple and Google, which offer similar zoom features across their Pro models.123
The Galaxy S27 series is currently in pre-production, with an expected launch in the first quarter of 2027, as Samsung aims to revitalize its flagship lineup with these significant changes.
“The leak also includes a 6.9-inch flat QHD+ LTPO OLED with a Privacy screen, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen Pro for Galaxy processor, and a possible Exynos return in India amid memory price rises. The series is in pre-production for a Q1 2027 launch.”
