Samsung Galaxy S27 Camera Leaks Reveal Ultra and Pro Model Highlights

Overview of the Samsung Galaxy S27 camera lineup

The Samsung Galaxy S27 series is set to arrive later this year, and the most recent leaks have finally exposed the full camera sensor configuration across the four models. While the exact launch date remains unconfirmed, the information supplied by Sammyguru gives a clear picture of what photographers and power users can expect from the upcoming flagship range.

Main and ultra‑wide sensors for the standard S27 and S27+

Both the Samsung Galaxy S27 and the larger Samsung Galaxy S27+ appear to share a common primary sensor choice. Sources suggest the decision will hinge on either the Sony IMX955 or Samsung‘s own S5KGNG sensor that powered the Samsung Galaxy S26. The ultra‑wide camera is likely to retain the Sony IMX564 module, a staple in every regular Samsung Galaxy S phone since the Samsung Galaxy S23. For the 3x telephoto lens, Samsung is expected to use its in‑house S5K3K1 sensor, while the front‑facing camera could be either a Samsung S5K3LU or a Sony IMX874, depending on the final cost target.

Galaxy S27 Ultra and the new Galaxy S27 Pro

The real excitement centers on the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra and the newly announced smaller sibling, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro. Both models will sport a massive 200MP main camera built around Samsung’s S5KHP6 sensor and the updated HP6 architecture, promising unprecedented detail and low‑light performance.

For the ultra‑wide angle, the devices will switch between a Samsung S5KJN3 sensor or a Sony IMX855, offering flexibility in field of view and color reproduction. The selfie camera on both phones will be driven by a Samsung S5K2P5 sensor, delivering sharp portraits and reliable video calls.

The key differentiator lies in the telephoto system. The Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro will retain the 3x telephoto setup found in the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, using a Samsung S5K3LD sensor paired with a modest optical zoom. In contrast, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra will step up to a 5x telephoto lens, powered by either a Sony IMX855 or another Samsung S5KJN3 sensor, delivering greater reach for distant subjects.

What the leaks mean for consumers

Although the sensor upgrades are incremental rather than revolutionary, the combination of a 200MP main sensor and versatile ultra‑wide options suggests Samsung is focusing on delivering a balanced photography experience across its flagship line. The inclusion of a 5x telephoto lens on the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra could appeal to enthusiasts who demand more optical zoom without sacrificing image quality.

Pricing remains speculative, but the presence of a more affordable Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro with a 3x telephoto lens hints that Samsung may be aiming for a compact flagship that undercuts the ultra‑premium segment. If the cost stays reasonable, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro could become a compelling alternative to larger flagships from competitors.

Dummy unit leaks and design hints

Leaker Sonny Dickson recently shared images of three dummy units representing the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro, and Samsung Galaxy S27 Plus. The prototypes, shown in stealth‑black, appear to be early non‑functional models based on preliminary manufacturer specifications. While the designs look more refined than earlier mock‑ups, they still lack the final polish expected for the production devices.

These visual clues, combined with the sensor details, give enthusiasts a clearer picture of what to anticipate when Samsung officially unveils the Samsung Galaxy S27 series later this year.
