The lenses have always sat in the upper-left corner of the back panel.\n<\/p>\n<p>Author&#8217;s note: The rumor mentions the next \u201cGalaxy S\u201d without naming the S27 directly. However, considering that there are no signs of a Galaxy S Edge sequel this year, it probably refers to the S27.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nA solution for MagSafe-style Qi2.2?\n<\/p>\n<p>A relocation would go beyond the usual cosmetic refresh. It could mark a more meaningful shift in the Galaxy S design language.\n<\/p>\n<p>There might be a practical reason behind it, too. The same source suggests that MagSafe, or rather a full adoption of Qi2 built-in magnets, could be one reason for this proposed Galaxy S27 design change.\n<\/p>\n<p>Presumably, the current camera design stands in the way of a proper, iPhone-style MagSafe\/Qi2 implementation. The Galaxy S26 series supports Qi2.2 magnetic cases, but the S27 might go all the way and adopt internal Qi2.2 magnets.\n<\/p>\n<p>That said, this is still a big \u201cif.\u201d The same report notes that rising costs could push Samsung to shelve the camera design idea for now, which could mean the Galaxy S27 may have a familiar look.\n<\/p>\n<p>Beyond aesthetics, the rumor also points to camera hardware upgrades. Samsung has already said it\u2019s working on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sammobile.com\/news\/samsung-confirms-working-better-camera-hardware-future-phones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">improved camera tech<\/a> for future phones, but it\u2019s unclear if the Galaxy S27 series will get those upgrades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It might be too early to discuss Samsung&#8217;s 2027 flagship phones, but rumors are already circulating.
