Yesterday a rumor told us that Samsung is testing a new main camera sensor for the upcoming Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+, and it also reiterated the fact that the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will have a 50MP ultrawide camera.
Today a new rumor confirms the 50MP ultrawide yet again, while also revealing that it’s using Sony’s IMX855 1/2.55-inch type sensor. The S27 Pro and S27 Ultra will also share one zoom camera, while the Ultra is now said to have two. That’s a similar setup to its predecessors, but earlier rumors have claimed it would have a total of three cameras, of which only one would be a telephoto.

If this pans out, then the second telephoto camera will be one of the differences between the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra. The former’s rumored lack of an S Pen is another. The S27 Pro and S27 Ultra are both said to employ a 16MP selfie camera with autofocus, and at least the Pro’s selfie snapper could even get OIS.
The source of today’s rumor confirms the use of a new 50MP main camera in the S27 and S27+, with a Sony sensor. The Galaxy S27 family is expected to launch in early 2027. The four devices are codenamed NM1, NM2, NM3, and NM4, with “NM” standing for “new miracle” or “next miracle”, while the number increases as you’d expect it to – NM1 is the S27, NM2 is the S27+, NM3 is the S27 Pro, and NM4 is the S27 Ultra.
