- A leaked CAD rendering shared by tipster Ice Universe on X shows a horizontal bar on the rear of the upcoming device, with three cutouts for the cameras.
- According to Ice Universe, the main wide and periscope telephoto sensors may move to two independent cutouts, while the third cutout will house the ultrawide and telephoto sensors with the flash between them.
- This design change means the fifth lens will not be available on the Galaxy S27 Ultra, and some netizens are criticizing Samsung for a lack of innovation.
- Below the new camera cutout design, there will be a magnetic wireless charging area for attaching accessories and charging.
- The Galaxy S27 Ultra will retain the rounded edges introduced with the S26 Ultra, rather than the sharper edges of previous devices.
- Ice Universe clarified that the CAD renders are accurate, but the claim of two different sizes for the Galaxy S27 Ultra is inaccurate; the devices in the renders are the Galaxy S27 Ultra and Galaxy S27 Pro, suggesting the new camera cutout may be used across the Galaxy S27 series.
- A major upgrade is the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro processor, while some regional units will feature the Exynos 2700 chipset, which reports place above the Snapdragon in performance.
- The device is rumoured to feature a larger battery compared to its predecessor.
