Samsung May Skip 200MP LOFIC Sensor for Galaxy S27 Ultra as Oppo Find X10 Ultra Eyes Debut

Samsung’s next flagship may miss its newest 200MP LOFIC camera sensor, with leaker DigitalChatStation saying the part is more likely to debut in Oppo’s Find X10 Ultra.
LOFIC — Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor tech — is designed to improve dynamic range by handling excess light at the pixel level and reducing blown-out highlights.
Galaxy S27 Ultra is instead rumored to use the 200MP ISOCELL HP6, a 1/1.3-inch sensor, while Samsung may also replace or upgrade its 3x 10MP telephoto camera.
Samsung is seen as taking a conservative approach, often letting Chinese brands trial newer camera hardware before bringing it to its own top Galaxy models.
Oppo’s Find X10 Ultra is still more than a year away after the X9 launched in China last month, and Vivo’s X500 Ultra is also seen as a possible early candidate.
Will a Chinese phone's camera, using Samsung's new sensor, actually beat the next Galaxy Ultra?
Is Samsung's 'testbed' strategy a brilliant move or a sign it's losing the camera war?
