TL;DR
- A veteran leaker has dismissed claims that the Galaxy S27 Ultra could get a 4x camera in lieu of the existing 50MP 5x shooter.
- The source says Samsung will continue to use a 50MP 5x camera, as seen on the S24 Ultra, S25 Ultra, and S26 Ultra.
- This might be the only telephoto camera on the S27 Ultra, as Samsung was previously tipped to ditch the 3x camera.
Two sources recently suggested that Samsung could bring a major change to the Galaxy S27 Ultra zoom cameras. However, a trusted leaker has now poured cold water on these claims.
Tipster phonefuturist claimed late last month that Samsung was testing a 50MP 4x sensor (1/1.9-inch) on the Galaxy S27 Ultra. This was echoed by fellow user GalaxyFlash2025, who claimed early this month that the S27 Ultra would ditch the 3x and 5x cameras in favor of a 4x 1/1.9-inch sensor. This 4x sensor would be larger than the S26 Ultra‘s 3x and 5x cameras.
