Galaxy S27 Ultra camera design may be moving to a wide island, with physical case samples attributed to leaker Ice Universe showing two large cut-outs on the left and an oval opening on the right. The most precise mold places a telephoto opening above a smaller circular one, but a case only points to the layout its maker expects.
Ice Universe’s X post describes four case iterations, each with progressively more specific camera openings. The latest one outlines individual cut-outs inside the right-hand oval.
Notebookcheck’s report says the photos put the third camera above the smaller opening, while some earlier CAD-based renders suggested it could sit below the flash.
A Galaxy S26 Ultra render appears below as predecessor context; it is not an image of the S27 Ultra.
Galaxy S27 Ultra camera design: what the case shows
The reported case layout has two larger, vertically arranged openings on the left side of the camera area. A taller oval on the right appears to leave space for another lens above a smaller circular opening. Ice Universe says earlier CAD data showed the oval’s shape but not the precise position of its components.
The case photos do not establish whether the smaller opening is the flash, nor where the laser autofocus sensor sits. Android Headlines raises the same autofocus question, while noting that a missing cut-out would not prove the sensor has been removed.
What this leak does not confirm
These are third-party accessory samples, not Samsung product images or a test handset. Case makers can work from provisional dimensions or assumptions, and openings in a mold do not verify the final lens count, sensor positions or camera specifications. Samsung has not announced the Galaxy S27 Ultra or confirmed this layout.
This is separate from earlier reports about a Galaxy S27 Ultra battery development target and a possible Galaxy S27 Pro Privacy Display; neither corroborates the camera design. The Galaxy S27 Ultra camera design should be treated as an accessory-maker’s working layout, not a Samsung specification, so these photos alone are not a reason for current buyers to change plans.

Do the case photos confirm the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s final camera layout?
No. They show third-party case samples attributed to the phone, not Samsung’s finished hardware, and Samsung has not confirmed the design.
What is the smaller opening inside the camera island?
The photos do not confirm its function. It may be for the flash, but the laser autofocus sensor’s position is also unclear.
Should Galaxy buyers wait for the S27 Ultra based on these photos?
Not on this evidence alone. The case molds do not confirm the finished camera system, launch timing or specifications.
