Is Samsung adopting Apple’s camera plateau ?
In fact, it’s not unlikely that this design actually refers to Samsung’s next flagship camera, especially since all other options are even less likely, such as upcoming ultra-flagship models from Oppo, Vivo, or Xiaomi. So if this assumption is correct, Samsung will apparently adopt a similar camera plateau design as Apple in the iPhone 17 Pro although Xiaomi’s Poco phones had a similar design way before Apple.
One advantage of this design over the current one-sided approach to camera modules would certainly be the greater stability of this Galaxy S27 Ultra on a table, provided that the two larger cameras do not protrude too far from the camera plateau. There would also be more space for magnetic Qi2 accessories than on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, for instance. In the few hours since the leak, the first AI-generated renders based on the design sketch have already appeared online. What do you think of this potentially final Galaxy S27 Ultra camera design?
