All Samsung Galaxy S27 camera leaks: Big shake-ups, new sensors and the Sony rumour that won’t go away

For over a decade, Samsung's flagship cameras have run almost entirely on its own house-made ISOCELL sensors. The S27 rumours hint that streak could end, at least partly. The leaks so far: A 50MP Sony ultrawide sensor (the IMX855) A 50MP telephoto camera with stabilisation built in A sharper 16MP selfie camera that can actually autofocus And it doesn't stop at the ultrawide.

All Samsung Galaxy S27 camera leaks: Big shake-ups, new sensors and the Sony rumour that won’t go away

Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 smartphone line is generating buzz with leak reports detailing potential changes to its camera system. The leaks suggest the base model S27 and S27+ could retain a 50MP primary camera with optical image stabilisation (OIS), a 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 16MP selfie camera capable of autofocus. However, Samsung may introduce more significant upgrades in the S27 Pro and Ultra models, which are rumored to feature a 200MP main camera, a new 50MP Sony IMX855 ultrawide sensor, and a potentially 5x telephoto lens instead of the 3x option on the Ultra variant.

This configuration would be a marked departure from the previous model, as it is believed that Samsung may reduce or eliminate the dedicated 3x telephoto lens on the Ultra model, relying on a 5x periscope lens with a 10x in-sensor crop. The leaks also indicate that Samsung may offer four Galaxy S27 devices internally labeled NM1 through NM4, with the Pro model positioned between the Plus and Ultra tiers.

However, it's important to note that these leaks are based on tests, and the final camera specifications, including the exact Sony sensor used in the base S27/S27+ models, remain uncertain. As the launch of the Galaxy S27 series is expected in February 2027, skepticism is advised until Samsung confirms the final specifications.
