Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra to drop 3x zoom camera
Leaked renders suggest Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra will ditch the dedicated 3x telephoto camera found in last year’s model, leaving only a 1x wide lens and a 5x 50MP telephoto camera. This redesign means you’ll jump from standard zoom straight to 5x optical, since there’s no new variable zoom lens and no replacement for the missing 3x. Launch is likely in early 2027, but Samsung hasn’t confirmed these details.
- S27 Ultra reportedly drops the 3x optical zoom lens
- Three cameras on back, not four as before
- 5x 50MP telephoto lens likely stays unchanged
- No variable zoom lens added, according to leaks
- Rumors point to photo processing software changes
