JAKARTA - Samsung is suspected of differentiating more clearly the Galaxy S27 flagship mobile phone line by only presenting front camera improvements on premium models. Based on the latest leaks, the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus are likely to still use a 12MP selfie camera, while the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will get a new sensor with a resolution of 16MP.
The information comes from technology leaker Lanzuk, who again confirmed that the front camera upgrade will only be available on the Pro and Ultra variants. If the leak is true, then the regular Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus will retain the same selfie camera as the previous generation.
Samsung is known to have used a 12MP front camera on the Galaxy S line since the Galaxy S23. The configuration is maintained until the Galaxy S26, so the upgrade to a 16MP sensor will be the biggest change in recent years. However, the upgrade seems to only be given to more expensive flagship models.
The move is thought to be Samsung's strategy to clarify the difference between regular models and premium variants. With more exclusive features only available on the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra, consumers who want a better photography experience will likely be directed to choose a device with a higher price.
However, the leak is still preliminary because the launch of the Galaxy S27 series is expected to take place only in the first quarter of 2027. Samsung still has months to change the specifications of the device before it is officially announced.
In addition to increasing the resolution of the front camera, Samsung is also rumored to be considering the use of a perfect square-shaped front sensor. This approach is said to be similar to that used by Apple and is claimed to make it easier to crop digitally so that it produces portrait and landscape photos from the same point of view without having to rotate the device. However, until now this information is still a rumor and has not received official confirmation from Samsung.
In the rear camera sector, the Galaxy S27 Pro is rumored to bring a 50MP telephoto camera with 3.5x optical zoom support. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S27 Ultra is rumored to remove the 3x telephoto camera that has long been one of the hallmarks of the Ultra series.
If the report is accurate, Samsung seems to be preparing major changes to the Galaxy S27 line camera system. However, all of this information is still a leak so that the final specifications of the new device can be confirmed when Samsung officially introduces the Galaxy S27 series in early 2027.
