Leaked Galaxy S27 Camera Specs Disappoint Fans

WHO:

Android Authority - Samsung is reportedly evaluating camera hardware for the Galaxy S27, S27 Plus, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra.

9to5Google - SammyGuru reported the leaked camera details; the article also cited GalaxyClub and leaker Ice Universe as sources that had mentioned some of the specifications.

9to5Google - In a separate report, leaker Sonny Dickson shared an image of dummy units identified as the Galaxy S27 Pro, S27 Ultra, and S27+; Ice Universe said, “this picture is wrong.”

Mashable - A recent leak reportedly outlined camera specifications for the Galaxy S27 and S27 Ultra.

WHAT:

Android Authority - The Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus are reportedly set to have a 50MP main camera using a Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG sensor, a 12MP Sony IMX564 ultrawide, a 10MP 3x Samsung S5K3K1 telephoto, and a 12MP selfie camera using a Samsung S5K3LU or Sony IMX874 sensor.

Android Authority - The S27 Pro and S27 Ultra are reportedly set to have a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP6 main camera and a 50MP ultrawide using a Samsung ISOCELL JN3 or Sony IMX855 sensor. The Pro’s reported telephoto is 10MP 3x Samsung S5K3LD; the Ultra’s is 50MP 5x Samsung ISOCELL JN3 or Sony IMX855. Both are tipped to have a 16MP Samsung S5K2P5 selfie camera.

9to5Google - The report describes the Pro and Ultra telephoto cameras as 50MP, with 3x optical zoom on the Pro and 5x on the Ultra, and says neither has a second telephoto lens. It notes SammyGuru’s text identifies the Pro’s sensor as the S26 Ultra’s 3x sensor, while its table lists the 12MP Samsung S5K3LD; 9to5Google says this may be a typo.

9to5Google - A separate dummy-unit image showed the Pro noticeably smaller than the Ultra and S27+. The Pro and Ultra appeared to have a full-width camera island; the article cautioned the units may not reflect the final design.

9to5Google - The camera leak was characterized as disappointing, citing familiar base-model hardware and the removal of a secondary telephoto lens on the Pro and Ultra.

WHERE:

Android Authority - The camera specifications concern Samsung’s Galaxy S27 phone lineup.

WHEN:

Android Authority - The Galaxy S27 series is widely expected to launch early next year.

WHY:

9to5Google - The article said Samsung was seeking ways to balance specifications and prices amid what it called “RAMageddon,” and suggested this could contribute to camera compromises.

HOW:

Android Authority - The reported specifications were attributed to sensor details uncovered by SammyGuru.

9to5Google - The dummy units were described as accessories-testing models, which may be based on an older design or may confuse a sensor.

Samsung is reportedly evaluating camera hardware for its Galaxy S27 lineup. Leaked specifications suggest base models retain familiar cameras. The Pro and Ultra may gain 200-megapixel main cameras, but lose a second telephoto lens.
