Samsung Leaks Show 2 Galaxy S27 Models Adopting iPhone-Like Camera Plateau

3 articles · Updated · Tech Advisor · Sep 2

Summary

  • Leaked case designs point to a four-phone Galaxy S27 lineup, with the new S27 Pro and S27 Ultra getting a width-spanning rectangular camera module while the S27 and S27+ largely keep the current look.
  • Qi2 support appears to be a key reason for the redesign, as Samsung’s current vertical camera layout can interfere with magnetic accessories and the new plateau could make MagSafe-style charging feasible.
  • Camera hardware may also drive the change: both premium models are rumored to use a single telephoto lens, with the Ultra still expected to keep 5x optical zoom.
  • If the leaks hold, the Ultra and Pro would become Samsung’s first phones with Qi2 magnetic charging, narrowing a gap with rivals as Google’s Pixel line remains the main Android range offering it.
