Samsung’s next big flagship lineup is back in the spotlight. Fresh leaks are focusing on the cameras of the Galaxy S27 lineup, and they’re giving us the first real look at what Samsung might change for 2027.

According to WinFuture, the S27 series should come in four models with internal codenames: NM1 for the regular Galaxy S27, NM2 for the S27+, NM3 for the S27 Pro, and NM4 for the Ultra. “NM” stands for “Next Miracle,” which follows the “Miracle” name they used for the S26 series.

The biggest claimed upgrade is on the ultra-wide cameras of the Pro and Ultra. Both are supposedly switching to Sony’s IMX855 sensor, a 1/2.55-inch sensor with 0.7µm pixels. That’s a change from the Samsung ISOCELL JN3 (50MP) ultra-wide on the current S26 Ultra.

For context, the S26 Ultra uses a 200MP Samsung ISOCELL HP2 main camera (with a brighter f/1.4 aperture), a 50MP Sony IMX854 5x telephoto, and a 12MP Sony IMX874 front camera. On the S27 Pro and Ultra, the selfie camera is expected to jump to a new 16MP Samsung sensor with autofocus. Some database entries even hint that the Pro’s front camera might get optical image stabilization.

The base S27 and S27+ look more modest. They’re said to stick with a 50MP main camera that has OIS, a 12MP ultra-wide, and a zoom camera whose exact resolution and zoom level still aren’t clear. So Samsung seems to be keeping the usual split, saving its best hardware for the Pro and Ultra.

WinFuture has a pretty solid track record with early Galaxy hardware info. The move to a new Sony ultra-wide and a better front camera with autofocus (and possible OIS) feels more like steady refinement than a radical overhaul.

We’ll almost certainly hear more about the main and telephoto sensors, processing tweaks, and camera features as development continues. For now, these early details suggest Samsung is focused on stronger stabilization.

The post Galaxy S27 series camera sensor upgrades detailed in new leak appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung fans hoping the Galaxy S27 Pro would be a mini Ultra might want to pump the brakes. According to a fresh report, the company has dialed back the Pro model’s camera ambitions, creating clearer separation between the different phones in the S27 lineup.

Naver blogger Lanzuk, who’s been spot-on with several past leaks, says Samsung has reworked the camera setup for the Galaxy S27 Pro. Instead of giving it near-identical imaging hardware to the flagship Ultra (as some earlier rumors suggested), the Pro is now shaping up as the sensible middle child: stronger than the regular S27 but not quite the photography beast the Ultra will be.

Now it looks like the Pro will share only some camera components with the Ultra and borrow more specs from the base S27 and S27+ models. In other words, the S27 Pro could end up filling the exact spot many enthusiasts have wanted the base model to occupy: compact, but noticeably more capable.

That said, broader leaks point to some meaningful camera upgrades across the board. Both the Pro and Ultra are rumored to finally get a 16MP front camera, Samsung’s first selfie sensor jump in years, moving on from that old 12MP unit.

On the back, both the Pro and Ultra are still expected to feature a 200MP main sensor. However, their telephoto setups will likely differ quite a bit. Samsung is reportedly dropping the dedicated 3x telephoto lens on the Ultra, relying instead on digital zoom and AI to cover focal lengths from 1x up to around 5x before switching to its periscope telephoto. Details are still scarce, but the Pro is unlikely to get the Ultra’s higher-end 5x periscope. This difference should help clearly justify the Ultra’s premium price and top-tier positioning.

Of course, take all this with a big grain of salt. These are early development leaks, and Samsung’s plans could evolve as the launch gets closer.

The post Galaxy S27 Pro camera specs reportedly downgraded to make room for the Ultra appeared first on Gizmochina.

Apple’s Center Stage (launched with the iPhone 17) uses a special square-shaped sensor and smart software to automatically adjust framing. It lets you switch between portrait and landscape orientations during selfies or video calls without having to physically rotate your phone. The camera also pans and crops intelligently to keep you (or the group) nicely centered.

Samsung might be bringing something similar. According to a report from GalaxyClub, the Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra could get a new 16MP front camera sensor, an upgrade from the 12MP sensor that’s been used since the S23 series. The new sensor is rumored to have a square format, just like Apple’s, which would allow for more flexible framing and better support for that Center Stage-style functionality.

This isn’t just about more megapixels. A better sensor could mean sharper details, improved low-light performance, and the practical ability to take landscape selfies or stay well-framed during video calls without flipping your phone around.

The base S27 and S27 Plus might stick with the existing 12MP front camera, following Samsung’s usual tiered strategy. Still, bringing this kind of upgrade to the higher-end models would be a welcome step forward.

If it happens, this feature would solve a pretty common annoyance: having to rotate your phone during group selfies or video meetings. It fits perfectly with the trend of making cameras smarter and more user-friendly.

The S27 series is expected to launch early next year, and this could be one of its more practical improvements, especially when combined with other rumored features like wider availability of Privacy Display.

As always with early leaks, we’ll have to wait for official confirmation or at least a few more credible leaks. But if Samsung pulls this off, it could make the front camera experience on Galaxy flagships noticeably better for everyday use.

The post Galaxy S27 Pro/Ultra may finally upgrade selfie with 16MP square sensor; bring Apple’s Center Stage to Android appeared first on Gizmochina.

Samsung looks set to make its clever Privacy Display technology a standard feature across the entire Galaxy S27 series in 2027. According to reports from TheElec, every model in the lineup, including the S27, S27 Plus, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra, will get the feature. The more affordable S27 FE is expected to be the only one left out. This is a major expansion from the Galaxy S26 series, where Privacy Display was available only on the Ultra model.

Samsung first introduced the tech on the S26 Ultra using something called Flex Magic Pixel. It works by dynamically controlling the OLED screen so that people viewing from the side see a darkened display, while the person in front gets a clear view. It’s a great defense against shoulder surfers in public.

The first version was popular but had some early teething issues with consistency. Those problems have reportedly been sorted out. For the S27 series, we’re expected to see a refined second-generation version that delivers a smoother and more reliable experience.

One industry source noted that making Privacy Display standard across the flagships shows how important the feature is to Samsung. It’s no longer just an Ultra exclusive but a core part of the premium Galaxy experience.

This move could give Samsung a meaningful edge, especially against Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18 series. In a world where people are increasingly protective of their data, being able to shield your screen from prying eyes in cafes, trains, or meetings is genuinely useful.

The S27 lineup (expected early next year) will also introduce a new compact “Pro” model. While we’re still waiting for full specs, the wider rollout of Privacy Display is easily one of the most interesting upgrades so far.

As privacy concerns continue to grow, features like this could play a bigger role in buying decisions. Samsung seems confident the technology is now mature enough to become a selling point across its flagship range — and it might just push the rest of the industry to follow.

The post Galaxy S27, S27 Pro, S27 Plus, and S27 Ultra: all models to get Privacy Display hardware appeared first on Gizmochina.

If it wasn’t for the Galaxy S26 series, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 series is almost confirmed to get a new member. Three unreleased Samsung devices have shown up in the GSMA IMEI database, and one of them is listed as the Galaxy S27 Pro.

The three model numbers are SM-S956U ( for Galaxy S27 Plus), SM-S957B/DS ( for Galaxy S27 Pro), and SM-S958U ( for Galaxy S27 Ultra). Meanwhile, the base Galaxy S27 has already appeared on the certification earlier this month. This confirms that Samsung will launch four phones under the Galaxy S27 series: the S27, S27 Plus, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra. Samsung may also release a Galaxy S27 FE later in 2027.

The Pro model will sit between the S27 Plus and the S27 Ultra. Samsung has used the Pro name before on devices like the Galaxy Note Pro, XCover6 Pro, J7 Pro, and even a keyboard phone called the Galaxy Pro back in 2010. However, this will be the first time a Pro model will join the main Galaxy S flagship series.

Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro Expected Specs

The Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to come with a 6.47-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen. It will not include an S Pen, though. For cameras, it could feature a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide with autofocus, and a 50MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom. The front camera is expected to be 12MP.

We covered earlier how the S27 Pro’s 50MP ALoP telephoto camera could produce better results than the Ultra in commonly used zoom ranges, more details in our earlier S27 Pro camera article.

On the inside, the phone is likely to run on a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro for Galaxy chip, with at least 12GB RAM, 256GB UFS 5.0 storage, a 5000mAh battery, and 45W or faster charging.

The S27 Pro is also said to include a hardware-level privacy screen, a feature previously limited to the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
