Samsung, Galaxy S27 Ultra It may make a significant change to the dual telephoto camera setup it has been using for a long time. According to the new leak, the phone replaces two cameras offering 3x and 5x optical zoom. Single Telephoto Camera with 4x optical zoom can carry. Moreover, the source is Samsung’s product for this camera. A larger sensor of the 1/1.9 inch type He claims to have chosen. Since Samsung has not yet introduced the Galaxy S27 Ultra, the company has not officially confirmed the specifications.

This new information also coincides with previous reports saying that the Galaxy S27 Ultra may lose the 3x Telephoto Camera. The first information that appeared in April suggested that the main camera could take over some of the shots at 3x level. Other leaks in August brought to the agenda again that Samsung could use only one Telephoto Camera in the Ultra model. The 4x camera detail that has now emerged adds concrete information such as sensor size and optical zoom level to previous claims.

When we look at the Galaxy S26 Ultra side, the difference becomes clearer. Samsung in current model 200 MP F1.4 Wide, 50 MP F1.9 Ultra Wide, 50 MP F2.9 5x Telephoto And 10 MP F2.4 3x Telephoto using cameras together. In addition, the 50 MP Telephoto Camera uses the sensor cropping method. 10x optical quality zoom It also offers the option.

In the new leak 1/1.9 inch type sensorThis is the most important technical detail of the claim about the Galaxy S27 Ultra. The larger sensor surface gives the camera physically larger space to collect more light in the same shooting conditions. However, the source does not yet disclose the sensor resolution, pixel size or aperture of the lens. Therefore, it is not yet known what resolutions the 4x Telephoto Camera will use at 3x and higher zoom levels.

Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra may use single 4x Telephoto Camera

If Samsung really moves to the 4x level, the new camera will sit at the optical zoom point between the existing 3x and 5x cameras. However, a high resolution sensor may provide the opportunity to take advantage of sensor cropping around the 4x level. Samsung already uses this method on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, producing 10x optical quality zoom from the 5x Telephoto Camera. The camera and cropping rates that will be used when switching between 3x, 4x or 5x when taking photos have not been announced yet.

Such a change Could reduce the number of rear cameras of the Galaxy S27 Ultra from four to three. Samsung has included two separate Telephoto Cameras in its Ultra models since the Galaxy S21 Ultra. The company continues to use separate sensors for 3x and 5x optical zoom in the Galaxy S26 Ultra. On the other hand, previous Galaxy S27 Ultra leaks do not only mention the telephoto camera, but also mention the possibility of a new main camera, an updated Ultra Wide Camera and a different Selfie Camera.

Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 5x Telephoto Camera 50 MP resolution and F2.9 aperture While offering 3x camera uses 10 MP resolution. Samsung also states on the official product page that the 5x Telephoto Camera improves its low-light performance with a wider aperture. The leak does not include which lens the larger 4x sensor spoken for the Galaxy S27 Ultra will be paired with.

Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Ultra in 2027 is expected to introduce. Therefore, camera resolution, aperture and other technical details may change throughout the product development process. For now, leaks converge on the points that the 3x Telephoto Camera will be eliminated, a single Telephoto Camera offering 4x optical zoom will come, and the sensor will be 1/1.9 inch type. Samsung has not yet made an official statement about the Galaxy S27 Ultra or the phone’s camera features.
