Leaked Galaxy S27 camera specs show new 200MP sensor on Pro and Ultra

What the leak claims

Details about the camera hardware in Samsung's next flagship range have surfaced online before the phones are official. According to Android Authority, the leak comes from SammyGuru and covers every model in the Galaxy S27 family, which is expected to launch early next year.

The information points to a familiar picture for Samsung. The standard and Plus models keep hardware close to their predecessors, while the Pro and Ultra step up to a new 200MP main sensor. Because this comes from an unofficial source, none of it is confirmed until Samsung announces the phones.

Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus: little change

The entry-level pair reportedly keeps the setup used before. The main camera stays at 50MP, with two possible sensors named: the Sony IMX955 or the Samsung S5KGNG. These are said to be the same parts found in the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus.

The supporting cameras appear untouched as well. The ultrawide remains a 12MP IMX564 unit, a component that has appeared in Samsung flagships since the Galaxy S23. The telephoto is the 10MP 3x S5K3K1 sensor, which dates back to the Galaxy S22. On the front, a 12MP selfie camera is expected, either the Samsung S5K3LU or the Sony IMX874.

Pro and Ultra gain a 200MP main camera

The higher-end models see the biggest reported change. Both the Galaxy S27 Pro and the S27 Ultra are tipped to use a 200MP ISOCELL HP6 main sensor paired with a 50MP ultrawide, either the ISOCELL JN3 or the IMX855.

Android Authority notes that this 200MP sensor was previously linked to a design derived from the ISOCELL HPC. That could mean a DeepPix sensor, a type that can capture images and video with a wider dynamic range, meaning more detail in both bright and dark parts of a scene. This remains a claim from leaks, not a Samsung statement.

Selfie hardware on the Pro and Ultra is reportedly a 16MP Samsung S5K2P5 shooter.

Telephoto questions remain

The zoom cameras draw the most criticism in the report. The Galaxy S27 Pro is said to reuse the same 10MP 3x ISOCELL S5K3LD sensor that appeared on the S26 Ultra, a low-resolution part for a premium phone.

The S27 Ultra is expected to carry a single 50MP 5x telephoto camera, using either the IMX855 or the Samsung S5KJN3. That would be one zoom camera instead of the 3x and 5x pairing on recent Ultra models. On paper that looks like a step back, although the source notes the outgoing 3x 10MP sensor was unimpressive anyway.

What it means for buyers

If the leak is accurate, buyers of the standard Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus would get cameras nearly identical to the current generation, hardware that lags behind some rival flagships from several years ago.

The Pro and Ultra look more interesting thanks to the 200MP main sensor, but the single telephoto on the Ultra may disappoint fans of its flexible zoom system. All of this should stay provisional until Samsung confirms specifications, likely when the range launches early next year.
