Samsung Prepares Camera Layout for Galaxy S27 Series
Samsung is preparing a camera configuration update for the Galaxy S27 series, which is expected to launch in 2027.
TIMES Indonesia reported that leaked specifications indicate several camera component increases may be minimal compared with previous generations.
Four Models Evaluated for the Next Flagship Line
The information emerged during Samsung evaluations of four models slated for the Galaxy S27 family. According to ANTARA News, the lineup will consist of the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27 Ultra. Disway reported that the brand-new Galaxy S27 Pro joins the series alongside design overhauls and built-in magnets for wireless charging.
Exynos 2700 processor built on a second-generation two-nanometer process may power models in the lineup. Internal tests conducted by Samsung yielded a Geekbench 6.5 multi-core score of 13,000, which is 20 percent higher than the 11,000 score achieved by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 6 Elite Extreme. When tested in Geekbench 7 against the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, the performance difference stood at 15 percent, while GPU performance testing showed the Exynos 2700 outperforming Snapdragon by 20 percent.
Despite benchmark leads, real-world gaming tests showed a performance difference of only 5 percent. The chip features a deca-core configuration with ten cores, and rumors indicate it could potentially be used across all models in the Samsung Galaxy S27 series, though its usage on the Galaxy S27 Ultra remains uncertain.
Base Models Retain Familiar Main Sensors
The Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ will likely keep main camera configurations similar to their predecessors, based on reporting from 9to5Google cited by ANTARA News. Both base models are slated to use either a Sony IMX955 or a Samsung S5KGNG sensor.
The ultra-wide camera will reportedly retain the Sony IMX564 sensor used since the Galaxy S23 series, while telephoto lenses will update to a twelve-megapixel Samsung S5K3K1 sensor with threefold optical zoom.
Ultra and Pro Models Move to Two Hundred Megapixels
The Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will reportedly feature a two-hundred-megapixel main camera utilizing the Samsung S5KHP6 sensor. ANTARA News stated that ultra-wide lenses on both phones will feature fifty-megapixel resolution with Samsung S5KJN3 or Sony IMX855 sensors. The Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to offer fivefold optical zoom, while the Galaxy S27 Pro provides threefold optical zoom.
VOI.ID reported that Samsung will bring an upgraded Privacy Display feature to the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra. Previously restricted to the Ultra tier, the privacy technology makes its non-Ultra debut on the Pro model alongside brighter screens built for outdoor readability.
Memory Scarcity May Reduce Secondary Telephoto Lenses
Secondary telephoto lenses may disappear from both the Pro and Ultra models, altering zoom capabilities that traditionally defined Samsung top-tier devices. ANTARA News attributed the component reduction to memory scarcity and cost pressures prompting manufacturers to adjust hardware specifications.
All technical specifications remain unverified leaks. Samsung has not announced official configurations or a release schedule for the Galaxy S27 series.
