Next up is Samsung. Rumors this week have to do with the cameras of the next-gen S models. The Galaxy S27 Pro will reportedly feature a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 12MP 3x telephoto. Previous rumors had it much closer to the Ultra 50MP 3.5x zoom, but alas.
Speaking of the Ultra, the Galaxy S27 Ultra will lose the 3x telephoto camera and retain the 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP 5x telephoto. Users will just have to resort to in-sensor zoom from the main 200MP camera for their 3x needs.
