Summary
Samsung is testing a four-phone Galaxy S27 range — S27, S27+, S27 Pro and S27 Ultra — with leaks pointing to a new Pro model between the Plus and Ultra.
50MP Sony camera parts are at the center of the rumors, including an IMX855 ultrawide sensor, while some prototypes reportedly also use a Sony main sensor instead of Samsung’s usual ISOCELL hardware.
Pro and Ultra models appear set for the biggest camera changes, with reports of 200MP main cameras, 50MP telephoto and ultrawide units, and a 16MP autofocus selfie camera; the base models look closer to recent generations.
The Ultra may drop its dedicated 3x telephoto and rely on a 5x periscope with computational cropping, while the Pro could debut Samsung’s unshipped ALoP 3.5x optical zoom system.
The leaks remain unconfirmed and conflict on key details, and similar claims of a Samsung shift to Sony sensors surfaced before the S25 launch but never materialized; Samsung is expected to unveil the S27 line around February 2027.
