A new leak lists the camera sensors Samsung is reportedly evaluating for all four Galaxy S27 models, according to Tarun Vats. It suggests the standard S27 and S27+ could get very little new camera hardware, while the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra share a new 200MP main sensor and a 50MP ultrawide. These are sensors under evaluation, not final specs, and many entries still list two options. It follows earlier reports that the S27 and S27+ may use Sony main cameras.
| Camera | S27 and S27+ | S27 Pro | S27 Ultra |
| Main | 50MP, Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG | 200MP, Samsung S5KHP6 | 200MP, Samsung S5KHP6 |
| Ultrawide | 12MP, Sony IMX564 | 50MP, Samsung S5KJN3 or Sony IMX855 | 50MP, Samsung S5KJN3 or Sony IMX855 |
| Telephoto | 3x, Samsung S5K3K1 | 3x, Samsung S5K3LD | 5x, Sony IMX855 or Samsung S5KJN3 |
| Selfie | Samsung S5K3LU or Sony IMX874 | 16MP, Samsung S5K2P5 | 16MP, Samsung S5K2P5 |
| Status | Evaluation, unconfirmed | Evaluation, unconfirmed | Evaluation, unconfirmed |
On the S27 and S27+, the 50MP main camera is listed as either a Sony IMX955 or a Samsung S5KGNG, so Samsung may not have picked one, and it isn’t clear whether both phones will use the same sensor. The 12MP ultrawide and the 3x telephoto look like carryovers from older Galaxy S phones, and the front camera is expected to stay around 12MP. The Pro and Ultra are the ones getting the new hardware. Both are tipped to use the 200MP S5KHP6, the sensor we covered as the S27 Ultra’s new HP6 main camera, plus a 50MP ultrawide and a 16MP selfie camera, which is described as an unannounced Samsung sensor.
The biggest change is the telephoto setup. The Ultra is listed with one 5x telephoto and no dedicated 3x camera, giving it three rear cameras instead of four, which matches earlier rumors. The Pro would instead get its own 3x telephoto, so the two phones would differ more in zoom. We couldn’t confirm the Pro’s telephoto resolution, since reports disagree on whether it is a 10MP, 12MP or 50MP camera. The sensor name points to the same 3x sensor as the S26 Ultra, but treat the pixel count as unknown.
A leak like this doesn’t show how the phones will take photos, since processing, lenses and software matter as much as sensors. It also doesn’t explain why Samsung might keep the standard models close to the S26 hardware. Samsung hasn’t announced the S27 series, and the final camera hardware could change before launch.
