Samsung’s rumoured Galaxy S27 Pro could share the Ultra’s 200MP main camera while settling for a shorter zoom lens. In a new camera sensor report, SammyGuru details hardware it says Samsung is evaluating across four Galaxy S27 models, with the biggest split between the Pro and Ultra coming at 3x versus 5x optical zoom. The report also points to familiar hardware for the standard S27 and S27+, rather than a broad camera overhaul.
The more consequential change could be the Ultra losing its dedicated 3x camera. Under the reported arrangement, all four phones would have three rear cameras, but the Pro would pair its high-resolution main and ultrawide cameras with a 3x telephoto, while the Ultra would retain a longer-reaching 5x option. These are development-stage claims, not announced Samsung specifications.
The Pro gets closer to the Ultra
According to SammyGuru’s findings, both premium models would use Samsung’s S5KHP6 sensor for their 200MP main camera. Their 50MP ultrawide cameras would use either Samsung’s S5KJN3 or Sony’s IMX855, while a Samsung S5K2P5 sensor would handle 16MP selfies on both. That would give the rumoured smaller Pro several of the Ultra’s headline camera specifications without matching its zoom reach.
For the telephoto camera, the report identifies the Pro’s sensor as Samsung’s S5K3LD, which it describes as the component used for the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 3x camera. The S27 Ultra would instead use either the Sony IMX855 or Samsung S5KJN3 for its single 5x telephoto camera. If Samsung follows this configuration, choosing between the two would involve a different optical zoom option as well as the phones’ sizes.
This is a change from some earlier reporting on the Pro. In its running Galaxy S27 report, GalaxyClub, the outlet’s July coverage described a 50MP telephoto camera for both the Pro and Ultra, whereas SammyGuru now identifies a different sensor for the Pro. The reports therefore disagree on that part of the camera system; Samsung hasn’t confirmed the final hardware.
Familiar cameras for the S27 and S27+
For the two lower-tier models, SammyGuru lists a 50MP main camera with either Sony’s IMX955 or Samsung’s S5KGNG sensor. It identifies the Samsung option as the same sensor used in the S26 and S26+, leaving a possible supplier change as one of the more interesting details. GalaxyClub’s earlier reporting also described Samsung testing a Sony-equipped version, although the choice remains unresolved.
The rest of that reported rear-camera setup is more familiar: a 12MP Sony IMX564 ultrawide and a Samsung S5K3K1 sensor behind the 3x telephoto lens. SammyGuru traces the ultrawide sensor back to the Galaxy S23, so the leak points towards continuity for the standard models rather than the Pro’s higher-resolution arrangement. The report lists either Samsung’s S5K3LU or Sony’s IMX874 for their front cameras.
That selfie split follows earlier reporting that the S27 and S27+ would keep 12MP front cameras while the Pro and Ultra move to 16MP. The new detail here is the broader sensor list and how the rear cameras could separate the four models. Previous rumours of a January Galaxy S27 launch put the possible reveal early next year, but the hardware in this report is still under evaluation.
Has Samsung announced the Galaxy S27 camera specifications?
No. The sensor details come from SammyGuru’s reporting on hardware under evaluation, rather than a Samsung product announcement.
Are UAE prices or pre-orders available for these phones?
The reports cited here provide no confirmed UAE prices or pre-order dates.
