Galaxy S27 Camera Upgrades and Changes
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro is reportedly set to feature a 200MP main camera. This would be accompanied by a 50MP ultrawide sensor and a 12MP 3x telephoto lens. Earlier rumors had suggested a camera system closer to the Ultra’s specifications, with a 50MP 3.5x zoom lens.

The device will retain its 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP 5x telephoto lens. This means users may need to rely on the main sensor’s in-sensor zoom for 3x magnification needs.
