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. An August 16 report suggested a significant design shift toward a horizontal camera bar to improve ergonomics and stability on flat surfaces, also facilitating Qi2 magnetic wireless charging. By late August, leaks suggested the S27 Ultra may undergo a significant redesign, moving from individual floating lens rings to a unified, horizontal camera island. This layout may provide more internal space for larger batteries, potentially up to 5,700 mAh. New leaks suggest the S27 Pro may be a compact 6.6-inch premium option without S Pen support. Samsung is reportedly testing silicon-carbon battery technology with capacities between 5,700 and 6,000 mAh, and may develop self-healing Gorilla Armor glass with Corning. By late September 2026, leaks suggested the S27 Ultra could feature up to 16GB of RAM in its 1TB storage version and 60W wired charging.
