Samsung’s next-generation Galaxy S lineup may bring some notable changes if recent leaks are to be believed. A South Korean tipster has now shared fresh details about the S27 lineup, suggesting that Samsung could introduce a new Pro variant as well as major changes to the S27 Ultra. Continue reading ahead to learn all the new details mentioned in the latest leak.

Galaxy S27 Pro said to be in the works

According to the tipster, Samsung may introduce a Galaxy S27 Pro model next year, aimed at users looking for a smaller flagship smartphone without compromising on performance. The device is expected to feature a display measuring around 6.4 inches, making it more compact than Samsung’s larger Ultra models. The leak also mentions possible upgrades such as new camera sensors, a bigger battery, and a thinner body.

However, the tipster also raised concerns regarding Samsung’s final approach. There are worries that the company could change the original concept during development or position the phone somewhere between the Plus and Ultra models. Cost-related decisions may also reportedly affect hardware choices and the overall identity of the Pro model.

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra to bring much-needed changes

The Galaxy S27 Ultra is also expected to receive major changes. According to the leak, Samsung may finally upgrade the physical rear camera sensors and redesign the camera layout on the back panel.

A recent report claimed that Samsung may scrap the 3x telephoto lens from the S27 Ultra, which indicates that it could feature a triple-camera setup on the back. This may possibly allow the Ultra flagship to sport a horizontal camera bar design, as shown in the AI-based render above.

The new leak further states that the S27 Ultra will house a larger battery while reducing overall weight. However, the thickness of the device may remain largely similar to current Ultra models.

The leak also claims that Samsung could continue using existing display materials on the Galaxy S27 Ultra because of production costs. Some display-related upgrades may reportedly focus more on software optimization rather than entirely new panel technology. The tipster also suggested that exterior design changes and weight reduction efforts could be limited by manufacturing expenses.

While these details are still based on early leaks, the possibility of a compact Galaxy S27 Pro and a redesigned Ultra model could make Samsung’s next flagship lineup more interesting than previous generations.

While leaks about the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, expected to launch in January 2026, have been making waves, a fresh leak has surfaced about the Galaxy S27 Ultra, slated for 2027. This latest rumor hints at a bold camera overhaul, suggesting Samsung could redefine zoom capabilities with a single, powerful sensor, potentially streamlining the device’s camera system while elevating its photographic prowess.

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra’s first camera details out

The tipster Ice Universe, known for reliable Samsung insights, released a Weibo post to speculate that the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s camera setup. According to the leak, Samsung may eliminate the 3x telephoto lens, opting instead for a 200-megapixel Sony-made 1/1.1-inch main camera sensor with a large aperture.

This sensor, larger than the 1/1.3-inch ISOCELL HP2 used in prior Ultra models, is said to excel in light capture, potentially rivalling one-inch sensors in competing flagships.

The tipster claims this new 200-megapixel sensor’s high resolution and large aperture could make the 3x telephoto redundant, delivering superior digital cropping for 3x zoom without compromising image quality. This could result in sharper, more detailed shots, particularly in low-light conditions, and high-quality cropped zoom images that match or surpass dedicated telephoto performance.

While the leak doesn’t detail other camera specs, it suggests Samsung might retain the 50-megapixel 5x periscope lens for robust zoom versatility. If accurate, this shift away from Samsung’s multi-lens strategy signals confidence in Sony’s sensor technology over its in-house ISOCELL lineup. The inclusion of the new Sony sensor suggests that the S27 Ultra could be equipped with a triple camera unit instead of a quad-camera setup.

With the S27 Ultra’s launch likely in 2027, these details remain speculative, but they point to a potential redefinition of smartphone photography.

Much needed battery upgrade

For years, Samsung’s Ultra-branded flagships have stuck with a 5000mAh battery, lagging behind Chinese brands offering 7000mAh batteries in high-end and flagship models. As consumer demands for longer battery life grow, we hope the Galaxy S27 Ultra arrives with a much-needed battery capacity upgrade to stay competitive in 2027. If that happens, it could probably result in the death of the built-in S-Pen to make space for a larger battery.
