Samsung is apparently preparing for the year 2027 a new line of smartphones, which is largely inspired by its competitors Applem. The latest leak has revealed both dimensional and design differences between all four expected models: Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro and S27 Ultra.
The device's appearance was revealed by a picture of third-party protective cases shared on the social network X by a well-known person leaker Ice Universe. According to previous leaks, the upcoming model line brings a slight adjustment in the labeling and size distribution:
- Galaxy S27 a Galaxy S27 Pro: They will offer more compact dimensions designed for users who prefer smaller phones in their hands.
- Galaxy S27+: Will go the route of a slightly larger display and body for those looking for a middle ground.
- Galaxy S27 Ultra: It remains true to the tradition of large phablets. Its diagonal will approach the 7-inch mark, although it will not exceed it by a narrow margin.

Fundamental transformation of the photomodule: Inspiration Applem
One of the most noticeable changes has been the design of the rear cameras of the more advanced models. Samsung has decided to abandon the previous look of separate lenses, which is not to say that it is original.
The company of these Galaxy S27 For a S27 Ultra deploys a massive "island" for cameras, which strongly resembles the solution introduced by the company Apple at the row iPhone 17 Pro from year 2025The sensors will be divided into two sections - the first contains a pair of lenses, while the second houses a third sensor, a ToF sensor, and an LED flash.

Basic models Galaxy S27 and S27+ use a more subtle concept called Ambient Island. The sensors are arranged vertically and are complemented by an LED flash, with the raised part only surrounding the lenses themselves and not intruding into the larger area of the back, as we now know from the series Galaxy S26.

End of dual telephoto lens on the version Ultra
According to available reports, Samsung for the model Galaxy S27 Ultra definitively cancels the dual telephoto lens (combination of 3× and 5×/10× zoom). All four models of the series Galaxy S27 so they will offer a triple rear camera setup. In the version Ultra It is expected to feature a 200MPx main sensor, a 50MPx wide-angle lens, and a new 50MPx telephoto lens.

To the official unveiling of the series Galaxy S27 at the event Galaxy Unpacked should happen in February 2027, with the devices expected to be available for purchase within 14 days of the announcement. Initial estimates also indicate a possible increase in introductory prices, which is due to the rising costs of memory chips and other key components.
As a technology editor, I have to say that I'm not surprised by Samsung's move at all, but at the same time I have quite mixed feelings about it. The transition to massive photo modules following the example of Applu seems more like a bet on safety and a retreat from its own visual identity, which the South Korean manufacturer has worked so hard to build in recent years. But its identity has hit a technological tree and it's a good thing that it will change at least in more advanced models - of course, because of magnets and Qi2.
