We’re halfway between the Galaxy S26 launch and the next big Galaxy Unpacked event and the rumors surrounding the Galaxy S27 series expected in January or February 2027 are starting to heat up.
For the first time, four Galaxy S27 phones are set to hit the market at the same time, the top-of-the-line Galaxy S27 Ultra might not only get more expensive, it may also feature a weird camera design if you ask the wrong people.
The Koreans are now increasingly focusing on finalizing their next camera flagships, which are set to hit the market in early 2027 and will replace Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
After Ice Universe predicted months ago that Samsung would ditch the 3x telephoto on the Galaxy S27 Ultra, this theory was recently called into question again, partly based on what is actually quite solid evidence.
Because earlier hints about a new horizontal camera design haven’t been confirmed so far, we’re currently seeing an increasing number of concept designs featuring all kinds of camera modules.

Traditionally, the most exciting time for Galaxy S leaks begins right after the launch of Samsung’s new foldables. The Koreans are now increasingly focusing on finalizing their next camera flagships, which are set to hit the market in early 2027 and will replace Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
It remains to be seen how reliable the earlier leaks and rumors were, but we’re not quite there yet. The final designs and specs aren’t known yet, Samsung is still evaluating them. After Ice Universe predicted months ago that Samsung would ditch the 3x telephoto on the Galaxy S27 Ultra, this theory was recently called into question again, partly based on what is actually quite solid evidence.
Because earlier hints about a new horizontal camera design haven’t been confirmed so far, we’re currently seeing an increasing number of concept designs featuring all kinds of camera modules. Both on Techdroider’s YouTube channel and amongst various X users like @thegalox_, wide camera bars seem to be especially popular although there is no evidence pointing to such a drastic design change at the moment. Incidentally, Ice Universe continues to insist that a quad-camera setup will be a thing of the past.
