Summary
WIPO design filings cited by Sammyguru show Samsung exploring a flat horizontal rear camera bar for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, replacing the long-used vertical left-side layout.
The sketches depict three cameras in the bar on a phone with rounded corners and flat edges, though they do not confirm the final production design.
Supply-chain indications from early July said Samsung had not made a final redesign decision, suggesting the S27 Ultra camera layout was still unsettled at that point.
A horizontal module could reduce table wobble, free more rear space for Qi2-style magnetic accessories, and mark a broader camera refresh expected to include a new main sensor in 2027.
