Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra design leaked — and it could cause ‘the most intense wave of criticism in Galaxy history’
An alleged render of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra reveals a very iPhone-esque design and a missing camera.
A series of leaked images purportedly reveal a redesigned Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra, sparking concerns of "the most intense wave of criticism in Galaxy history." The images, shared by prominent Samsung leaker Ice Universe, depict a new horizontal bar design, resembling the iPhone 17 Pro or Google Pixel 11 Pro. The leak began with a cryptic message from Ice Universe, stating, "I can't say anything," which was followed by a full-body drawing of the back of the phone.
The images suggest the Galaxy S27 Ultra will have a circle, likely a Qi2 magnet for wireless charging, and a reduced camera setup, transitioning from a triple stack to two cameras, with the LED light and lenses housed in a separate pill. Additionally, a new 5x telephoto lens will replace the current 3x version, moving into the LED pill.
Tipster Sonny Dickson posted renders of the S27 Ultra, indicating Samsung could release the Ultra in two sizes, possibly aligning the offering with Apple's Pro and Pro Max models. Rumor has it, the S27 Ultra will have its speaker on the left side, while the base S27 and Plus models will retain the speaker on the right. The leaked renders and drawings suggest the new iPhone-esque plateau will only be available on the Ultra and Pro models, while the base S27 and Plus models will have the traditional camera stack.
With foldables behind Samsung, the rumor mill is heating up for the flagship phone line, and more renders are expected to leak in the coming months. Samsung is likely to release the S27 lineup in the early part of next year, following a similar schedule as the S26 series, which launched in February.
