Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra dummy units show new camera design
Leaked dummy units of Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra, shared by leaker Sonny Dickson on X, revealed a redesigned rear camera module. The new design features two protruding lenses and two flush cutouts, though fellow leaker Ice Universe disputed the layout, saying the top-right camera does not exist.
The conflicting reports emerged as leaker Ice Universe disputed the arrangement, stating the camera in the top-right corner of the Ultra and Pro dummies “does not exist.” That assessment aligns with a recent Android Headlines leak depicting the rear camera cutouts for the S27 Ultra, according to Android Authority. Ice Universe also claimed in August that the S27 Ultra would feature only three rear cameras.
A leak from SammyGuru indicates the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will feature a new 200MP main camera using a Samsung S5KHP6 sensor, a change from the S5KHP2 sensor found in the current Galaxy S26 Ultra, according to Mashable.
Separate reports detail potential specifications for the new models. The same report suggests both models may receive a selfie camera upgrade to a 16MP front-facing lens, up from 12MP on their predecessors. The S27 Pro is reported to include a 3x optical zoom telephoto camera, while the S27 Ultra is tipped for a 5x optical zoom, per Mashable. Another leak suggests the Ultra variant will offer a solitary telephoto camera on its back, while the standard S27 and S27 Plus may retain an older camera setup, according to Android Authority.
The chipsets for the new line are also expected to differ by model. The Galaxy S27 Ultra is tipped to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 chipset, while the Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to use the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 SoC, according to GSMArena. The Galaxy S27+ is reportedly set to feature Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2700 chipset, at least in European markets, the outlet reported.
The Galaxy S27 line is expected to launch in January or February 2027, according to Mashable. A price increase for the new models may be unavoidable, given recent trends in the smartphone industry, according to Android Authority.
All reports are unconfirmed, and it is too early to know what the Galaxy S27 series will bring until Samsung confirms the details, according to Android Authority. Samsung phones typically leak heavily in the months before their official launch, a pattern consistent with the current reports.
