A well-known tipster, Ice Universe, just revealed some new Galaxy S27 Ultra camera-related information. He actually had a lot to say in his posts on X, regarding both the cameras themselves and Samsung’s image processing.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra will ditch the 3x telephoto camera, and get a new main snapper
Let’s talk about the cameras themselves first, shall we? The tipster says that it is now confirmed that the Galaxy S27 Ultra will ditch a 3x telephoto camera. It will utilize a 5x periscope telephoto camera instead. So there will be no middle ground between 1x and 5x. The next optical step after 1x will be 5x.
He also confirmed that the main 200-megapixel camera on the phone will utilize the ISOCELL HP6 sensor. It is essentially a Galaxy-customized version of the ISOCELL HPC sensor.
The tipster also noted that the 5x periscope telephoto camera sensor will remain unchanged compared to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. That means we’re getting a 1/2.52-inch sensor size. The aperture will also remain at f/2.9.
Image processing is getting three notable changes with the Galaxy S27 Ultra
He also talked about camera processing changes compared to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The overall color tone will shift from cool to warm, according to what was said. It will be easily noticeable, he claims.
The second change is better highlight control for small, bright objects. For example, when you’re shooting small light sources, the Galaxy S26 Utlra tends to have a tendency to suppress the highlights. The Galaxy S27 Ultra should do a better job with those.
The third change pertains to low-light photography. There should be less noise in dark areas, and the overall image in low light should be ‘smoother’. So, in other words, smoother shadows should be a part of the package.
Here’s a chart that details image processing changes
The tipster also shared a detailed chart comparing the changes to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. You can check it out below.
As a reminder, the Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to arrive in Q1 2027, along with the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, and Galaxy S27 Pro.
