Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra Leaks: Samsung’s 2027 Flagship Not Offer Significant Upgrade to Camera, Says Report
Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra leaks suggest that the 2027 flagship may not bring a major camera upgrade. The device is expected to continue using the 1/1.3-inch ISOCELL sensor found in previous Ultra models. While rivals focus on larger sensors or enhanced tuning, Samsung seems set to prioritise optimisation over significant hardware improvements.
Mumbai, November 28: Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra details have been leaked ahead of its launch in 2027. The upcoming flagship smartphone may launch with different cameras compared to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra, scheduled for early 2026.

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra: Here’s What to Expect
Tipster Ice Universe said Samsung would not use the Sony sensor in its upcoming flagship, as the company is known for making its own sensors. The sensor size in Ultra models is expected to remain unchanged, as it has for nearly every generation since the S23 Ultra.
Reports mention Samsung may continue using near 1-inch or larger ISOCELL sensors, including ISOCELL HP1: 1/1.22″, ISOCELL HP2: 1/1.3″, ISOCELL HP3: 1/1.4″, and ISOCELL HPX / HP9: 1/1.4″. Smaller camera sensors and pixels capture less light, so photos usually appear worse, as seen when comparing the Galaxy S25 Ultra with phones like the vivo X300 Pro.

The report suggests Samsung will prioritise improved tuning rather than a major jump in sensor size.
