Samsung's Galaxy S27 Ultra Telephoto Camera Update Confirmed by Ice Universe
Recent speculation regarding the telephoto camera setup for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra has been clarified by well-known tipster Ice Universe. Contrary to earlier rumors suggesting a potential change in the telephoto module, it has been confirmed that Samsung will retain the existing 5x telephoto camera from the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
The earlier claims indicated that Samsung might replace the 5x camera with a new 4x module featuring a larger sensor size (1/1.9”). However, Ice Universe firmly stated that this information is “100% false.” The Galaxy S27 Ultra will thus continue with the same telephoto setup as its predecessor.
While the 5x telephoto will remain, it appears that the 3x 10MP telephoto module may be cut from the lineup. This change should not significantly impact the overall photography experience, given the impressive capabilities of the 200MP main camera at lower zoom levels.

Additionally, the camera arrangement on the S27 Ultra is expected to undergo a reshuffle. This move is intended to not only refresh the phone's aesthetic appeal but also to provide better compatibility with magnetic accessories. Users have noted that the current design of the Galaxy S26 Ultra's camera creates an awkward situation with the Magnet Wireless Battery Pack.
As for the Galaxy S27 Pro, reports suggest it will come equipped with a 3x 12MP telephoto camera, along with a 200MP main and a 50MP ultra-wide sensor. Despite this, the S27 Ultra will still hold a competitive edge in zoom capabilities due to its retained telephoto module.
In conclusion, Samsung fans can expect the Galaxy S27 Ultra to bring familiar telephoto capabilities, as the focus appears to remain on enhancing other aspects of the device.
