Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra Could Level up Zoom Capture by Dropping a Key Weak Link

Ice Universe says the Galaxy S27 Ultra may drop its 3x telephoto lens and add a new ultrawide camera, with launch expected in January.

  • Leaker Ice Universe shared images on Wednesday showing a redesigned pill-shaped camera bar on the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra, marking a visual departure for the flagship phone.
  • Regarding the internal hardware, Ice claims the 3x telephoto lens is 'simply gone,' while variable aperture is '80%' likely to streamline the camera array.
  • The pill-shaped camera block may enable Qi2 charging, a feature the Galaxy line has long lacked, while bearing resemblance to Google Pixel phones and the Galaxy S10.
  • Initial reactions from Samsung fans include comments like 'good riddance I say,' as users have long criticized the 3x zoom as the 'meh' middle child.
  • If the company adheres to its release schedule, the Samsung Galaxy S27 series will likely launch in early 2027, following the S26 lineup debut on February 25 last year.
