TL;DR

A new rumor suggests the primary camera in the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus could use a Sony sensor.

Samsung’s S-series phones have used Samsung ISOCELL sensors in their primary cameras for several years.

The S27 Pro and S27 Ultra may also feature an upgraded 50-megapixel ultrawide camera.

We’ve been hearing rumors about the Samsung Galaxy S27 series since 2024, and now that this week’s Galaxy Unpacked event has revealed everything there is to know about the Z Flip 8 , Z Fold 8 , and Z Fold 8 Ultra , leaks about Samsung’s next high-profile slate of phones are sure to pick up. For example: a new report today sheds a little light on what we might be able to expect out of the S27’s cameras.

Dutch-language publication Galaxy Club reports that the Samsung Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus may feature a 50-megapixel primary camera sensor supplied by Sony. The hardware itself doesn’t sound unusual for a high-end phone in 2027, but it’s interesting to note that Samsung has used its own ISOCELL sensors in the primary cameras of S-series phones since the Galaxy S22.
