- A leaked image suggests the Galaxy S27 Ultra may use a thick horizontal camera bar on the back with three rear cameras.
- The design also appears to include a built-in magnetic ring for Qi2 wireless charging and compatible accessories.
- Reliable tipster Ice Universe has an image that they claim depicts the basic design of the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
- On the back, the device appears to feature a thick rectangular bar at the top, housing three camera sensors.
- Fans expressed dismay over the bulky look, comparing it to recent Honor and Google Pixel devices.
- The leaked image reveals a triple-camera setup with a 200MP main sensor, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP telephoto with 5x zoom.
- Recent patent filings suggest Samsung is adjusting internal component placement to ensure full compatibility with Qi2 magnetic wireless charging.
- Samsung has not commented on the leak, and early schematics often represent one of several prototype iterations tested during product development.
A leaked image of Samsung's Galaxy S27 Ultra showcases a thick horizontal camera bar housing three rear cameras, including a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP telephoto with 5x zoom. The design also features a built-in magnetic ring for Qi2 wireless charging, allowing for seamless accessory compatibility.12
The camera layout, which resembles the iPhone 17 Pro, has drawn criticism from fans who are concerned about its bulky appearance. “The reaction from the tech community was swift,” noted one report, highlighting the dismay over the design's heft compared to recent devices from Honor and Google Pixel.
Additionally, the new design may impact the internal component arrangement, potentially limiting space for larger telephoto sensors in future models. “Grouping the lenses inside a tightly packed module could limit physical space,” warned analysts, emphasizing the challenges Samsung faces in balancing aesthetics with functionality.
Recent patent filings indicate that Samsung is making adjustments to ensure compatibility with Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, which necessitates a clean area around the charging coil. “Shifting camera hardware frees up crucial space inside the chassis,” which could allow for larger battery capacities or improved cooling systems.7
While Samsung has not officially commented on the leak, it is important to note that early schematics often represent just one of several prototypes tested during development, and final designs may differ significantly before production begins.8
“The camera layout resembles the iPhone 17 Pro, prompting comparisons to Honor and Google Pixel devices and fears of bulky aesthetics. Power users worry the tightly packed module could force Samsung to compromise on telephoto sensor sizes, while patent filings suggest internal changes to support Qi2 charging.”
