Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra may feature fewer rear cameras than its predecessor, according to a new report. The information comes from tipster Ice Universe, who shared early details about the device’s design and camera system.
The report says Samsung plans to remove the 3x telephoto camera used in recent Ultra models. This lens has been a standard feature in devices like the Galaxy S26 Ultra. It is still unclear if Samsung will replace it with another sensor or reduce the total number of cameras.
A speculative render shared by the same source shows a triple rear camera setup. This suggests the Galaxy S27 Ultra could move from four cameras to three. However, the image is not an official leak and only reflects early rumours.
The report also mentions a possible design change. Samsung may shift the camera island layout in the new series. No confirmed details about this change are available yet.
If the change happens, it would mark a shift in Samsung’s camera strategy. Ultra models have focused on multiple lenses to offer flexible zoom and shooting options. Removing one camera could raise questions about performance, especially for zoom photography.
However, some flagship phones already perform well with fewer cameras. For example, the vivo X300 Ultra is known for strong camera results despite having three rear sensors. This shows that image quality depends on both hardware and software.
Samsung has not confirmed any details about the Galaxy S27 series. The company usually announces its Galaxy S lineup early each year.
More verified information is expected closer to the official launch.
