Galaxy S27 Camera Array
Samsung will differentiate its upcoming flagship smartphone lineup through distinct hardware disparities, according to details reported by SammyGuru and cited by Esport1.
The leak outlines the camera configurations for the standard Galaxy S27, the S27+, the S27 Pro, and the S27 Ultra.
The base Galaxy S27 and the S27+ will feature identical camera setups. Both devices will carry a 50-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel ultrawide unit, and a 10-megapixel telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom, alongside a 12-megapixel front-facing shooter, Esport1 reported.
For the main camera, the Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG sensor may be considered, while the ultrawide unit could use the Sony IMX564. The telephoto camera may receive the Samsung S5K3K1, and the manufacturer might select the Sony IMX874 or Samsung S5K3LU sensor for the front-facing unit.
Pro and Ultra models share several camera components
The Galaxy S27 Pro and the Galaxy S27 Ultra share several camera components, including a 200-megapixel main camera and a 50-megapixel ultrawide unit, according to SammyGuru’s findings. Both models are expected to feature a 16-megapixel selfie camera.
For the main camera, the Samsung S5KHP6 can be the winner, while the Sony IMX855 or Samsung S5KJN3 may be chosen for the ultrawide unit, and the Samsung S5K2P5 sensor can work in the selfie camera.
The primary divergence between the Pro and Ultra models lies in the telephoto hardware. NapiDroid reported that the Ultra will sport a 50-megapixel sensor with 5x optical zoom, while the Pro model will feature a more modest 10-megapixel sensor with 3x zoom.
The Ultra model’s 50-megapixel, 5x optical zoom unit may operate with the Sony IMX855 or Samsung S5KJN3 sensor, whereas the Pro version can arrive with a modest 10-megapixel, 3x zoom camera using the Samsung S5K3LD sensor, which may be the same sensor used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 3x telephoto camera.
Galaxy S27 models use different processors and hardware
European variants of the Galaxy S27 and S27+ will feature Samsung’s Exynos 2700 processor, according to NapiDroid. If the plan materializes, Samsung will continue to reserve its strongest Snapdragon chip for the Galaxy S27 Ultra while expanding the commercialization possibilities of the Exynos 2700 into the two lower-tier models.
The Galaxy S27 Pro will run on the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor, NapiDroid reported, leaving the Extreme variant exclusive to the Ultra.
NapiDroid also noted that the Pro model lacks S Pen support, though it shares the Ultra’s redesigned rear chassis and a 5200 mAh battery compared to the Ultra’s 5700 mAh cell. Qualcomm Chief Marketing Officer Don McGuire responded on social media that information regarding overheating of the new chip is completely inaccurate
