Besides adding a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/its-almost-official-samsung-is-adding-a-pro-model-to-the-galaxy-s27-lineup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">long-delayed and rumored Pro variant<\/a>, it will seemingly also revamp the camera system. A new leak sheds more light on the camera changes Samsung will make, including reducing the rear cameras from four to three.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.etnews.com\/20260731000266\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">ET News<\/a> reports that Samsung will finally ditch the 3x 10MP telephoto unit on the Galaxy S27 Ultra next year. Instead, it will use a three-camera setup, featuring a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP 5x telephoto.<\/p>\n<p>Considering the 10MP telephoto sensor&#8217;s relatively small size and the fact that it hasn&#8217;t received any meaningful improvements over the last few generations, it makes sense for Samsung to drop it altogether. The 200MP primary camera can already deliver decent results at 3\u00d7 zoom.<\/p>\n<p>Besides freeing up internal space, ditching the 10MP module would help the company reduce the device&#8217;s bill of materials.<\/p>\n<p>                        Samsung will reserve the best zoom hardware for the Ultra<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Samsung will reportedly use a slightly different camera system on the smaller Galaxy S27 Pro. While it will apparently retain the 200MP main and 50MP ultrawide cameras, the phone will only feature a 12MP 3x telephoto camera. Unlike its Ultra sibling, it won&#8217;t include a 5x telephoto camera.<\/p>\n<p>That would put Samsung at odds with Apple and Google, whose Pro models offer the same 5x telephoto camera as their larger Max and XL counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>This move will also help Samsung reduce component costs and protect its margins amid the ongoing DRAM and NAND shortage. The steep rise in memory prices has already led Samsung&#8217;s mobile division to post its first-ever quarterly loss.<\/p>\n<p>As for the 10MP 3x telephoto camera, it will supposedly live on the entry-level Galaxy S27 and the S27 Plus. These two phones will also stick to the same 50MP main and 12MP ultrawide cameras.<\/p>\n<p>While the report does not mention anything about the front camera, a leak from a month ago suggests that the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-galaxy-s27-may-copy-iphones-best-selfie-camera-trick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">S27 Ultra and Pro could use a new 16MP selfie shooter<\/a>. It will purportedly be a square-shaped sensor, like the one Apple uses on the iPhone 17 series, allowing for more flexibility and a wider field of view.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung plans to make some big changes to its flagship Galaxy S27 lineup next year.
