If you’ve been waiting for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 lineup to release before upgrading your smartphone, we have some bad news, especially if you were hoping for premium camera updates.
According to a new leak from Samsung media outlet SammyGuru, Samsung doesn’t appear to have any major camera upgrades in store for the upcoming device lineup.
Another recent leak suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S27 lineup would be see a big camera overhaul. However, based on SammyGuru’s report, there may not be much new when it comes to the cameras themselves, at least for the S27 and S27 Plus models.
In fact, if you own a Samsung Galaxy S26 and are considering upgrading to the Galaxy S27 or Galaxy S27 Plus, it looks like there will be no change to the cameras at all. The S27 and S27 Plus will reportedly feature a 50 MP primary camera with either a Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG sensor, SammyGuru reported. The ultra-wide lens would be the same 12MP Sony IMX564, along with the same 3x 10MP telephoto lens and 12MP selfie camera.

Fortunately, the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will get some upgrades, according to the new report. However, at this point it’s unclear how much of an upgrade they will be.
SammyGuru reported that the S27 Ultra and S27 Pro will both receive a new 200 MP main camera with a Samsung S5KHP6 sensor. The predecessor of the S27 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, has a Samsung S5KHP2 sensor, so there is a change here between the two generations of devices.
The S27 Pro and S27 Ultra could also receive a selfie camera upgrade with a 16 MP front lens, which is an upgrade from the 12 MP resolution of their predecessors. Finally, SammyGuru reported that the S27 Pro will have a 3x optical zoom telephoto lens and the S27 Ultra will have a 5x optical zoom.
Of course, this information is not confirmed at the moment. Typically, Samsung phones leak massively in the months leading up to their launch. And with the Samsung Galaxy S27 line of smartphones expected to arrive in January or February 2027, we expect a flood of leaks in the near future.
