While previous leaks focused on the camera island and other features, this particular detail has gone unnoticed. The Galaxy S26 Ultra previously featured a 3x and 5x optical zoom camera, totaling four sensors on the back of the device. However, the new Galaxy S27 Ultra appears to have only a 3x zoom lens, with the 5x zoom unit replaced by a 50MP wide-angle lens, as suggested by a leak on Twitter/X by @UniverseIce. The latest renders clearly show a missing lens, which can be compared to the Galaxy S26 Ultra's layout. A render posted by @OnLeaks indicates that the new camera array will have three cameras, with the LED flash positioned at the bottom, accompanied by additional sensors, a microphone, and the 5x zoom lens. As with many Galaxy S series leaks, these details should be taken with caution. However, these leaks will only become definitive once Samsung officially launches the device in early 2027.",
