Leaked Images Suggest Galaxy S27 Ultra Drops 3x Lens for 200MP Zoom and New Camera Bar

The leaks point to a move toward software-driven zoom that could reshape Samsung’s camera design.

Overview

  • A prominent leaker claims Samsung will remove the 3x telephoto from the Galaxy S27 Ultra and use a new 200MP main sensor to capture 3x shots.
  • Images shared by the same source show a horizontal, pill-style camera bar with fewer visible lenses, hinting at a three-camera setup instead of the S26 Ultra’s four.
  • Separate reports say Samsung may shift the rear camera location to make space for Qi2’s ring of magnets, which enable more reliable snap-on wireless charging.
  • Coverage also cites unconfirmed changes such as a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip and testing of silicon‑carbon batteries with far higher listed capacities.
  • Additional leaks point to four S27 models, including a Pro variant described as a smaller Ultra without an S Pen, with all details remaining unconfirmed months before launch.
