First details about the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra camera
By ForGeeks
The first leaks about Samsung’s flagship Galaxy S27 series have started appearing online. It’s reported that while the Galaxy S26 Ultra will do without major hardware changes to its cameras, the Galaxy S27 Ultra, on the other hand, will get notable improvements.
According to insider @UniverseIce, the Galaxy S27 Ultra will feature a new ISOCELL HP6 primary sensor. This is a 200-megapixel sensor with a 1/1.3-inch optical format — comparable to the ISOCELL HP2 used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, the source claims that the HP6 will get a number of new technologies that will enable Samsung to improve the quality of photo and video capture.
An update to the ultra-wide-angle camera is also expected. In addition, Samsung is long overdue to upgrade the mid-range telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom, according to insiders. The Galaxy S26 Ultra uses a 10-12MP sensor, and the Galaxy S27 Ultra may replace it with a more advanced 50MP or even 200MP module.
- support for 8K video recording at 60 frames per second;
- larger sensor for periscope telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom;
- square sensor for the front camera, which can have a positive impact on the quality of selfies and video calls;
Other interesting information is about biometrics. According to rumors, Samsung may introduce 3D facial scanning based on Metalenz’s Polar ID technology. The system would use the ISOCELL Vizion 931 sensor and provide a higher level of security than conventional facial recognition.
Finally, reports suggest a possible abandonment of the built-in S Pen stylus, starting specifically with the Galaxy S27 Ultra. If the rumors are confirmed, this would be one of the most radical changes to the Ultra lineup in years.
