The Samsung Galaxy S27 series is expected to be released in early 2027. The upcoming lineup is reported to consist of four models: the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Plus, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27 Ultra.
Camera configurations by model
According to ETNews, the Galaxy S27 Ultra will feature a 200MP wide-angle camera, a 50MP ultra-wide camera, and a 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. Reports indicate the Ultra model will not include a 3x telephoto camera, and Ice Universe denied claims that the device would feature a second rear telephoto camera.
The Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to feature a 200MP wide-angle camera and a 50MP ultra-wide camera, similar to the Ultra model. ETNews reports that the Pro model will also include a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom.
The Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus models will feature a 50MP wide-angle camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. Additionally, the Galaxy S27 Ultra, Galaxy S27 Pro, and other models in the series will carry a 16MP selfie camera.
Production and supply chain details
Samsung's decision to reduce the number of cameras is reportedly related to production efficiency and reducing Bill of Materials (BoM) costs rather than technological limitations.
The rear camera modules for the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra are expected to be supplied by Samsung Electronics, Samsung Electro-Mechanics, Namuga, Partron, Power Logics, and the Chinese company Sunny Optical.

Updates
New reports indicate that the Galaxy S27 Pro will be positioned between the standard/Plus models and the Ultra, while Samsung shifts its focus toward AI features, image processing, and larger sensors rather than increasing the number of camera lenses.
New reports indicate that the Galaxy S27 Pro will be positioned between the Plus and Ultra models. Furthermore, Samsung is reportedly prioritizing image processing, AI features, and larger, higher-quality sensors over adding additional camera sensors.
New reports indicate that the Galaxy S27 Pro will be positioned between the standard, Plus, and Ultra models. Rather than increasing the number of camera sensors, Samsung is reportedly focusing on developing higher-quality sensors, AI features, and advanced image processing to manage production costs.
The upcoming Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to be positioned between the standard/Plus models and the Ultra model. Rather than adding more sensors, Samsung is reportedly focusing on improving image processing, AI features, and utilizing larger, higher-quality sensors to reduce production costs. While previous leaks suggested a 50MP telephoto camera with 3x or 3.5x optical zoom for the Pro model, the company has not yet made an official announcement regarding the series' camera specifications.
New reports suggest the Galaxy S27 Pro will be positioned between the standard/Plus models and the Ultra model. Additionally, developers are reportedly shifting their focus toward image processing, AI integration, and larger, higher-quality sensors rather than simply increasing the number of camera sensors.
New reports suggest the Galaxy S27 Pro will be positioned between the standard/Plus models and the Ultra, potentially featuring a camera array that spans the entire width of the phone. Additionally, Ice Universe claims Samsung is utilizing inkjet printing technology to achieve a thinner camera module. Separately, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon announced price increases for Snapdragon silicon due to memory supply constraints, noting that the AI-driven RAM crisis may not subside until at least 2028.

Additionally, the Galaxy S27 Ultra's camera array could potentially span the entire width of the device, similar to iPhone 17 Pro models. Meanwhile, Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon announced that Snapdragon silicon prices will increase due to memory supply constraints, a crisis expected to last until at least 2028.
Samsung is reportedly developing a new lens production technique that uses inkjet printing to apply light-absorbing ink directly to lens edges, potentially reducing camera bump size and internal reflections. While the Ultra model may feature a 200MP main camera with variable aperture, a silicon-carbon battery, and a camera array spanning the phone's full width, the series might also introduce a new Galaxy S27 Pro positioned between the Plus and Ultra models. Additionally, the S27 Ultra could utilize LOFIC technology for improved dynamic range.
Samsung is reportedly developing a new lens production technique using inkjet printing to apply light-absorbing ink directly to lens edges, which aims to reduce internal reflections and save space by eliminating physical films. This technology could be applied to specific layers in the main and telephoto systems, potentially allowing for more advanced sensors or a smaller camera bump. Additionally, new rumors suggest the Galaxy S27 Ultra may feature a 200MP main camera with variable aperture, LOFIC sensor technology for wider dynamic range, and a silicon-carbon battery.
