Overview
- Multiple outlets, which published their reports Tuesday, say Samsung is considering relocating the Galaxy S27’s rear cameras to free space on the back panel.
- Qi2 uses a circular magnet ring to lock a phone onto chargers and snap-on accessories, enabling case-free alignment much like Apple’s MagSafe and Google’s recent Pixel lineup.
- Sources warn that higher memory and storage costs could push the built-in magnet plan to the Galaxy S28, leaving the S27 redesign uncertain for now.
- No render or layout details have been shared, and the reports cite Korean supply-chain contacts and leakers yeux1122 and Lanzuk on Naver rather than any Samsung confirmation.
- The long-standing upper-left camera stack reportedly blocks the magnet ring’s ideal spot and can clash with S Pen hardware, so a move could ease those conflicts and expand accessory options like wallets, grips, and car mounts.
