Samsung Galaxy S27 series camera, design, battery and chip

Overview

In late July 2026, reports indicated that Samsung would replace its long-used ISOCELL sensors with Sony 50-megapixel units for the primary camera of the upcoming Galaxy S27 and S27+ models, while keeping the ultra-wide lens at 12 MP. Rumors also suggested that the higher-end S27 Pro and S27 Ultra could feature a 200-MP main sensor, a 50-MP ultra-wide sensor and upgraded front-facing cameras, with a launch expected in early 2027. A week later, additional details emerged about the S27 Ultra’s camera module. Samsung Electro-Mechanics is testing an inkjet-printing process that applies a matte coating to lens rims, replacing traditional anti-reflection film. This technique reduces lens flare and allows a slimmer camera bump, potentially enabling a shift from a four-lens to a three-lens array and the removal of the 3x telephoto lens. By mid-August 2026, reports surfaced that Samsung has decided against implementing variable aperture camera technology in the Galaxy S27 series due to high manufacturing costs and limited image quality improvements. On August 16, reports suggested a significant design shift toward a horizontal camera bar to improve ergonomics and stability on flat surfaces, while also facilitating the integration of Qi2 magnetic wireless charging standards. On August 23, 2026, leaks suggested the S27 Ultra may undergo a significant redesign, moving from individual floating lens rings to a unified, horizontal rectangular camera island. This layout may provide more internal space for larger batteries, potentially up to 5,700 mAh. Further leaks on August 25 and 27 suggest the S27 Ultra and new S27 Pro may feature a horizontal camera plateau, with the Ultra potentially utilizing a 50MP 5x telephoto sensor instead of a 3x lens. The Ultra may also adopt silicon-carbon battery technology to reach capacities between 5,700 and 6,000 mAh.
