If you were waiting for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 lineup to drop before upgrading your smartphone, we have some bad news, particularly if you were hoping for some premium camera updates.
According to a new leak from Samsung news outlet SammyGuru, Samsung doesn’t seem to have any major camera upgrades in store for the upcoming line of devices.
Another recent leak suggested that the Samsung Galaxy S27 line would see a big camera redesign. However, based on the SammyGuru report, there may not be too much new when it comes to the cameras themselves — at least for the S27 and S27 Plus models.
In fact, if you have a Samsung Galaxy S26 and are considering an upgrade to the Galaxy S27 or Galaxy S27 Plus, it looks like there will be no change to the cameras at all. Both the S27 and S27 Plus will reportedly be equipped with a 50MP main camera with a Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG sensor, SammyGuru reported. The ultrawide lens will reportedly be the same 12MP Sony IMX564, as well as the same 10MP 3x telephoto lens and 12MP selfie camera.

The Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra, thankfully, will see some upgrades, according to the new report. However, at this point, it’s unclear just how much of an upgrade they’ll be.
SammyGuru reported that the S27 Ultra and S27 Pro will both get a new 200MP main camera with a Samsung S5KHP6 sensor. The S27 Ultra’s predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, has a Samsung S5KHP2 sensor, so there is a change here between the two device generations.
The S27 Pro and S27 Ultra could also receive a selfie camera upgrade with a 16MP front-facing lens, which is an upgrade from the 12MP resolution of their predecessors. Finally, SammyGuru reported that the S27 Pro will have a 3x optical zoom telephoto camera, and the S27 Ultra will have a 5x optical zoom.
Of course, the report is unconfirmed for now. Typically, Samsung phones leak heavily in the months before they 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.
