The cameras of the four Galaxy S27 have been fully leaked and the distribution is clear: the improvements remain in the expensive models. According to SammyGurucited by Android Authority, the S27 and S27+ repeat almost the same sensors as the S26, while the new S27 Pro inherits almost all of the Ultra’s camera. Nothing is official: Samsung would still be “evaluating” these configurations.
The S27 Pro, the one that really goes up a level
With the same main sensor, wide angle and front camera as the Ultra, the S27 Pro only concedes in zoom: a 12 MP 3x instead of the 50 MP 5x periscope. It is, in practice, an Ultra compact, although the leak itself contradicts itself regarding that telephoto lens.
In Spain it could add another argument. A database of European models assigns a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6compared to the Exynos 2700 of the S27 and S27+, although other reports point to Exynos. If confirmed, the jump would be double: better sensors and another chip, which is what processes each photo.
The Ultra debuts main sensor, but loses a camera
The S27 Ultra finally removes the 200 MP ISOCELL HP2 that the Ultra have had since the S23 Ultra of 2023. The HP6 retains the size of 1/1.3 inch and, according to previous leaks, it would add LOFIC technology to improve dynamic range. In exchange, it loses the 3x 10 MP tele and is left with three cameras.
In our opinion, this loss hurts less than it seems. Cropping a 1/1.3-inch sensor 3x leaves a useful area similar to that of a small TV, with an optic further bright (f/1.4 vs. f/2.4 on the S26 Ultra). The acid test will be at night. And if the wide angle ends up being the JN3, it will repeat that of the S26 Ultra.
Are there reasons to wait if you have an S26?
By camera, not in the base models. The 12 MP wide angle is the same since the S23 and the main ones would be those already used by the S26 and S26+. Various media attributed to cost containment.
