Galaxy S27 series leak reveals all the camera sensors

The Samsung Galaxy S27 series is widely expected to launch early next year, and we’ve seen a constant stream of leaks for months now. We’ve already heard camera details, but a new leak may have given us more camera hardware information.

SammyGuru has uncovered apparent camera sensor details for the entire Galaxy S27 family. Starting with the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus, the two phones are tipped to have cameras that are nigh-on identical to previous base and Plus models.

The phones are said to have a 50MP main camera, using either the Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG sensors. These are apparently the same sensors used on the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus. There’s no change on the ultrawide front, either, as we’re apparently looking at the same 12MP IMX564 sensor used since the Galaxy S23. Finally, there’s the same 10MP 3x telephoto camera (Samsung S5K3K1) seen on the Galaxy S22.

What about the Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra? Both phones will reportedly pack a 200MP ISOCELL HP6 main camera and a 50MP ultrawide shooter (ISOCELL JN3 or IMX855). The Pro and Ultra both have a single telephoto camera. More specifically, the Galaxy S27 Pro will use the same 10MP ISOCELL S5K3LD 3x camera seen on the S26 Ultra. Meanwhile, the S27 Ultra will offer a 50MP 5x camera (IMX855 or Samsung S5KJN3).

On the selfie camera front, the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus are tipped to offer a 12MP Samsung S5K3LU or Sony IMX874 sensor. The Pro and Ultra are said to have a 16MP Samsung S5K2P5 selfie shooter.

Either way, it’s clear that the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus are using aging camera hardware compared to even old flagship phones from rival manufacturers. Meanwhile, the Pro and Ultra’s 200MP camera was previously said to be derived from the ISOCELL HPC sensor. That means we’re potentially looking at a DeepPix sensor which could deliver images and videos with expanded dynamic range. However, Samsung’s apparent decision to stick with a 10MP 3x camera on the Pro model would be very disappointing. Furthermore, the S27 Ultra’s single tele camera setup would be a downgrade on paper over the 3x/5x pairing seen on recent Ultra handsets, although the 3x 10MP sensor was mediocre to begin with.
