Samsung is reportedly preparing its next flagship smartphone lineup, the Galaxy S27 series, for an early 2027 launch. However, a new camera leak suggests that the upcoming smartphones may not bring major photography improvements across all models. While the standard Samsung Galaxy S27 and Samsung S27 Plus could retain their existing camera hardware, the premium models may receive some important upgrades.
According to a Twitter leak, the Samsung S27 Ultra camera could get a new 200-megapixel main sensor. The Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro may also receive camera improvements, including a better selfie camera. However, Samsung has not officially confirmed these specifications.

Samsung Galaxy S27 And S27 Plus May Retain Existing Cameras
The latest leak suggests that Samsung may continue using the same camera setup on the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus as their predecessors. This means users upgrading from the Galaxy S26 series may not notice major improvements in camera hardware.
The reported camera specifications include:
- Main camera: 50-megapixel Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG sensor.
- Ultra wide camera: 12-megapixel Sony IMX564 sensor.
- Telephoto camera: 10-megapixel lens with 3x optical zoom.
- Front camera: 12-megapixel selfie shooter.
If these details are accurate, Samsung may focus on software improvements rather than introducing new camera hardware in its standard flagship models.
Samsung S27 Ultra Camera May Get A 200MP Sensor
The good news is that Samsung could introduce camera upgrades in the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra. According to the leak, both premium models may feature a new 200-megapixel main camera with the Samsung S5KHP6 sensor.
For comparison, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra reportedly uses the Samsung S5KHP2 sensor. The upcoming models may also receive an improved front camera.
Here are the expected camera specifications:
- Main camera: 200-megapixel Samsung S5KHP6 sensor.
- Selfie camera: 16-megapixel front camera, upgraded from 12MP.
- Galaxy S27 Pro telephoto: 3x optical zoom.
- Galaxy S27 Ultra telephoto: 5x optical zoom.
The Samsung Galaxy S27 series is expected to launch in January or February 2027. However, these camera details are based on early leaks and Samsung has not confirmed them.
More information about the camera hardware and other specifications could emerge in the coming months. For now, Galaxy S26 Ultra users may want to wait for official details before deciding whether to upgrade.
