Samsung Galaxy S27 series camera specs leak, and they’re disappointing

The Samsung Galaxy S27 series is widely expected to launch early next year, and a new leak has uncovered camera sensor details for the entire family. According to Android Authority and SammyGuru, the lineup includes the base model, Plus, a new smaller device called the Galaxy S27 Pro, and the Ultra. SammyGuru reported that Samsung is evaluating these sensors for all four phones, corroborating earlier reports. Unfortunately for consumers, the leak indicates that much of the hardware remains unchanged.

Starting with the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus, Android Authority reported that the two phones are tipped to have cameras that are nigh-on identical to previous base and Plus models. They are said to feature a 50MP main camera using either the Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG sensors, which are apparently the same ones used on the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus. SammyGuru noted that the ultrawide lens will use a 12MP Sony IMX564 sensor, which has been in use since the Galaxy S23. Both lower flagships also retain the same 10MP 3x telephoto camera seen on the Galaxy S22, utilizing the Samsung S5K3K1.

The Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra bring some changes, though they also present disappointments. Both phones will reportedly pack a 200MP ISOCELL HP6 main camera and a 50MP ultrawide shooter. Meanwhile, the Pro model will have a single 3x telephoto lens using the Samsung S5K3LD, which is the same sensor found on the Galaxy S26 Ultra's 3x telephoto.

For front-facing cameras, Android Authority stated that the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus are tipped to offer a 12MP Samsung S5K3LU or Sony IMX874 sensor. The Pro and Ultra models are said to feature a 16MP Samsung S5K2P5 selfie shooter. Overall, SammyGuru concluded that things will not be changing dramatically, with Samsung shuffling things around rather than reinventing the wheel.
