Leaks Say Samsung Will Split S27 Cameras, Adding a Pro Model With Weaker Zoom

The reports signal a deliberate camera-tier strategy that could widen price gaps between S27 models before a 2027 launch.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets on Monday reported that Samsung plans a four‑phone Galaxy S27 family that adds a new S27 Pro between the Plus and Ultra models.
  • The same Monday reports say the S27 Pro would use a 12MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom while the S27 Ultra would keep a 50MP periscope telephoto with 5x optical zoom.
  • Tipsters and industry reports indicate the S27 Ultra may drop a fourth rear sensor and move to a three‑camera layout made up of a 200MP main, a 50MP ultrawide, and the 50MP 5x telephoto.
  • The base S27 and S27+ are reported to retain their current triple‑camera setup instead of receiving major upgrades, a move outlets link to supplier and memory‑cost pressures; none of these details are confirmed by Samsung.
  • If true, the changes could widen performance and price differences within the S27 line, shape where Samsung reserves its highest‑end ISOCELL parts, and push buyers toward the Ultra or a lower‑cost Pro alternative ahead of an expected early‑2027 reveal.
