Summary
Industry-source leaks now point to the Galaxy S27 Ultra replacing its criticized 3x telephoto with a triple-camera layout built around a 200-megapixel main camera, a 5x periscope and upgraded selfie sensor.
The redesign is said to improve 3x zoom results through the 5x camera or image fusion, though the exact implementation remains unclear more than six months before the expected early-2027 launch.
A horizontal camera bar would also free space for a battery larger than 5,000mAh and enable full Qi2 magnetic charging—bringing Samsung closer to Apple’s MagSafe-style setup.
That same camera bar is expected to make the phone sit flatter on tables, while the broader shift suggests Samsung is trimming older hardware to address long-running complaints and keep pace with rivals.
