The next Galaxy S27 lineup will reportedly upgrade its Pro and Ultra selfie cameras, while the base models—the Galaxy S27 and S27+—are said to retain the previous generation’s configuration, according to a leak shared by leaker Lanzuk.
Selfie: Pro moves upmarket, S27 and S27+ stay the same
Per the leak, the Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra are expected to adopt a 16 MP front-facing sensor, a notable step up from the 12 MP selfie module Samsung has used on the series since the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus, however, are said to keep the 12 MP sensor. Lanzuk specifies the upgrade for the Pro but does not report any meaningful improvements to other aspects of the front camera module on the two base models.
Other reported changes across the Galaxy S27 family
The leak also highlights additional technical differences between variants: the base S27 is reportedly switching to OLED panels manufactured in China—a change that sources claim trims roughly $5 per panel. Meanwhile, the entire S27 lineup could be the first Galaxy family to ship with UFS 5.0 storage, bringing faster storage speeds even to entry-level models.
What this could mean for Samsung’s lineup
Taken together, the details suggest Samsung may be concentrating its most visible upgrades on the Pro and Ultra models, leaving the standard S27 and S27+ somewhat behind on front-camera improvements. The Pro appears positioned as the most compelling mid- to upper-tier option in the series, borrowing enhancements from the Ultra, while the Ultra would remain the flagship with the most complete feature set. Panel sourcing changes and potential adoption of UFS 5.0 indicate hardware improvements across the range despite the differing camera strategies.
As always, these claims are based on an unconfirmed leak and should be treated as provisional. The source did not provide further specifics beyond the selfie sensor resolution and the other points noted above.
