Overview
- - Multiple tech outlets on Thursday reported Ice Universe’s claim that the Galaxy S27 Ultra will remove the 3x telephoto camera.
- - Reports say Samsung would rely on a new 200MP main sensor to deliver 3x images by cropping, which could cut the rear array from four cameras to three.
- - Images shared by the leaker show a horizontal pill-style camera bar with fewer visible lenses, and some coverage suggests the new layout could make room for Qi2 charging magnets.
- - 9to5Google adds that the leak points to a new ultrawide, updated main and front cameras, a possible boost to 5x zoom, and a variable aperture that is described as likely, all sourced to early internal plans.
- - Separately, Samsung moderators say the latest Galaxy S26 Ultra update fixes a 24MP close-up bug that caused bad crops after pausing at 2x zoom, and users in South Korea and the US are already seeing the rollout.
