Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra Set for Major Design Overhaul
New Delhi, November 10: Samsung is preparing to launch its next premium smartphone, the Galaxy S27 Ultra, with significant design changes. Leaks suggest that the new model may adopt a look similar to Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro, moving away from its previous design. Notably, the camera design is expected to undergo a major transformation, with the rear camera module possibly featuring a new layout.
Images of a dummy unit have surfaced, indicating that the phone will have two vertically positioned camera sensors, along with an additional telephoto sensor. The back of the device may also include a circular module for wireless charging. The front is likely to have a small punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera, although this design is not yet official.
In terms of hardware, the Galaxy S27 Ultra may boast a 6.9-inch 2K AMOLED display, potentially utilizing Samsung’s new M16 LTPO panel with support for a refresh rate of up to 20Hz. A Privacy Display 2 feature could also be included to protect on-screen content from prying eyes.
Different markets may see varying chipsets, with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor expected in the US and Europe, while the Exynos 2700 chipset may be used in India. Both chipsets are rumored to be based on 2nm technology.
The camera setup is anticipated to include a 200-megapixel primary sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera, both likely featuring optical image stabilization (OIS). Additionally, a 50-megapixel 5x optical zoom camera and a 16-megapixel front camera may be included.
Battery improvements are also expected, with a 5700mAh battery supporting 60W wired and 25W wireless charging. The phone may also feature magnetic wireless charging similar to MagSafe. Furthermore, it is reported that the device will receive Android OS and security updates for up to seven years.
