Camera specifications for Samsung’s anticipated Galaxy S27 series have surfaced, revealing minimal enhancements across the lineup. The information, primarily sourced from SammyGuru and corroborated by 9to5Google, indicates that the base models, S27 and S27+, will retain cameras similar to their predecessors.
The main camera for both the Galaxy S27 and S27+ is expected to feature a 50MP sensor, which is the same found in last year’s models. The ultrawide sensor remains a 12MP, also carried over from the Galaxy S23 series. Updates appear limited, with new hardware for the telephoto and selfie cameras, but without significant improvements.
The Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra are set to introduce a 200MP main camera, coupled with a 50MP ultrawide. However, the Pro model will only have a 3x optical zoom, compared to the Ultra’s 5x. The Ultra will reportedly lose its dedicated 3x telephoto lens, which has disappointed some existing users.
Josh from SammyGuru remarked, “Safe to say, not much is changing,” indicating a lack of major innovations in the camera setup. While both advanced models share the same 16MP selfie camera and 200MP main sensor, the telephoto lens differentiates them.
Despite earlier speculation about a refresh in the camera capabilities, leaks suggest that Samsung may be prioritizing cost-effective strategies over substantial upgrades. Some users express disappointment, suggesting that competitors are outpacing Samsung in camera hardware.
According to import-export records referenced by Notebookcheck, the Galaxy S27 series will feature four models with different chipset configurations. The Galaxy S27 and S27+ are expected to use Samsung’s Exynos 2700, while the Pro will run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. The Galaxy S27 Ultra will utilize Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, with all models featuring 12 GB of RAM and multiple storage options.
