Samsung has tested and evaluated specific camera sensors for all four Galaxy S27 models, with the S27 and S27+ largely reusing existing hardware while the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra share a new 200MP main sensor and several higher-resolution components.
Galaxy S27 cameras overview
The two lower-tier flagships—the Galaxy S27 and S27+—use the same camera architecture familiar from recent Galaxy phones, while the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra share most of their camera hardware, including a 200MP main sensor. Across the range Samsung appears to be reshuffling sensors rather than introducing sweeping camera upgrades.
Model-by-model camera specs
Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+: The main camera is a 50MP unit that will use either a Sony IMX955 or a Samsung S5KGNG (the latter is the same sensor used in the Galaxy S26 and S26+). The ultrawide lens is a 12MP Sony IMX564 (in use since the Galaxy S23). The 3x telephoto uses a Samsung S5K3K1. The front selfie camera will be either a Samsung S5K3LU or a Sony IMX874.
Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra: Both phones will use a 200MP main camera based on the Samsung S5KHP6 sensor (the updated HP6 architecture), which outputs 16,320 x 12,240 pixels. Both models will also have a 50MP ultrawide that could be either the Samsung S5KJN3 or the Sony IMX855, and a 16MP front camera using the Samsung S5K2P5 (noted as a successor to the S5K2P2).
Telephoto differences: The S27 Pro is reported to include a single 3x telephoto using the Samsung S5K3LD (the same 3x sensor used in the Galaxy S26 Ultra). The S27 Ultra instead receives a single 5x telephoto, which will be either the Sony IMX855 or the Samsung S5KJN3. As a result, all four S27 phones would carry three rear cameras, with the Ultra favoring longer reach and the Pro retaining a 3x option.
Summary
Overall, Samsung appears to be mixing familiar sensors with a high-resolution 200MP option for its higher-end S27 models, while the S27 and S27+ largely carry over existing components rather than receiving major camera upgrades.
