Galaxy S27 Ultra leaks point to new camera bar, bigger battery and possible price rise
Leaks and certification listings suggest Samsung's next Ultra flagship will bring a redesigned camera layout, a larger battery and a possible return of Exynos chips, though the company has not confirmed any details.
Samsung has yet to confirm the specifications of its next flagship, the Galaxy S27 Ultra, but leaks, certification listings and tipsters point to a number of changes. The most visible is a redesigned rear camera system, which reportedly replaces the individual camera rings with a single horizontal bar and uses three lenses instead of four. The main sensor is said to be 200MP, with a 50MP ultrawide and a 50MP 5x telephoto lens.
Other leaked specifications include a battery of about 5,700mAh, up from 5,000mAh, a 16MP selfie camera and 60W wired charging. The display is expected to stay at about 6.9 inches, with a brighter version of Samsung's Privacy Display. The S Pen is expected to remain built in, and the phone may be slightly larger than the S26 Ultra. Some leaks suggest an Exynos 2700 version could appear in certain markets, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 is the main chip listed.
The changes could also bring a higher price, although Samsung has not announced pricing or a launch date. Reports say the new camera bar sits higher on the back, which could leave more room for magnetic accessories, but it is not yet clear whether the phone will include built-in Qi2 magnets.
