Samsung is reportedly testing new camera sensors for the Galaxy S27 lineup, with leaks suggesting the arrival of a new Galaxy S27 Pro model.
Samsung is gearing up to launch its next-generation Galaxy S series smartphones, and leaks surrounding the Galaxy S27 lineup have already begun surfacing online. Samsung introduced the Galaxy S26 series earlier this year, comprising the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Now, reports suggest that the upcoming Galaxy S27 series could arrive with four models, including a new Galaxy S27 Pro variant. Samsung is also reportedly evaluating multiple camera sensors for the lineup, hinting at notable camera upgrades for the Pro and Ultra models. Here’s a closer look at the camera specifications that the upcoming Galaxy S27 series may offer.
Samsung Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus: Camera Specifications (Leaked)
According to a recent report by SammyGuru and GalaxyClub, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27 Ultra are likely to feature different camera sensors across the lineup. While the standard and Plus variants are expected to retain much of their existing camera hardware, the Pro and Ultra models could receive upgrades to their primary and ultra-wide cameras. Samsung is also reportedly planning to introduce a new Galaxy S27 Pro model alongside its traditional flagship offerings.
In terms of optics, the Samsung Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ could feature a 50MP primary camera. Reports suggest that Samsung may use either the Sony IMX955 or its in-house S5KGNG sensor for the main shooter. Both smartphones are also expected to retain a 12MP ultra-wide camera powered by the Sony IMX564 sensor, which Samsung has been using since the Galaxy S23 series. The 3x telephoto camera could reportedly utilise the Samsung S5K3K1 sensor. For selfies, Samsung is said to be testing two front camera sensors: the Samsung S5K3LU and the Sony IMX874.
Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra: Camera Specifications (Expected)
The Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra are expected to share several camera specifications. Both smartphones are tipped to feature a 200MP primary camera powered by the Samsung S5KHP6 sensor, alongside a 50MP ultra-wide camera that could use either the Samsung S5KJN3 or Sony IMX855 sensor. They are also expected to sport a 16MP front-facing camera equipped with the Samsung S5K2P5 sensor.
The key distinction between the two models may lie in their telephoto cameras. The Galaxy S27 Pro is said to feature a 3x telephoto shooter powered by the Samsung S5K3LD sensor, which is also used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could feature a 5x telephoto camera equipped with either the Sony IMX855 or Samsung S5KJN3 sensor.
The leaked specifications suggest that Samsung may discontinue the dedicated 3x telephoto camera from the Galaxy S27 Ultra while introducing a new Pro variant with its own standalone 3x telephoto lens. However, Samsung has yet to officially announce the Galaxy S27 series or confirm any of the reported camera specifications.
