Samsung’s camera development policy on his phones in recent years seems to not change in the next two model cycles. According to Ice Universe, one of the reliable leakage sources, Galaxy S26 And Galaxy S27 A large camera innovation is not expected on the hardware side of the series. This approach of the company, finally Galaxy S21 While more than three years have passed since the remarkable camera changes it has made in its series, it may not fully overlap with the expectations of the current user audience. On the other hand, software instead of hardware change and Artificial Intelligence Based Camera improvements It is expected to focus on it.
Allegedly, Samsung is forced to make room for large camera sensors because it focuses on producing thin and light phones in new models. Especially Galaxy s25 edge and a design understanding in this direction constitutes an obstacle to a comprehensive change on the hardware side. The placement of larger sensors creates additional requirements not only for the thickness of the device, but also in terms of cooling and energy management. This contradicts the company’s compact form factor target. Because Galaxy S26 The series is currently in Galaxy S25 It is expected to be released with a very similar camera structure to its models.
It is claimed that Samsung’s decision is not only from design, but also linked to cost management. The semiconductor section of the company cannot provide the expected increase in income despite its recent investments. It is suggested that the mobile unit focuses on higher profit margins and therefore serious updates are avoided by the hardware. Keeping high -cost components such as camera is considered as a way to keep production costs under control.
It is said that big camera innovations will not come to the Galaxy S28 series
Under these conditions, Galaxy S27 Ultra Even a comprehensive camera hardware change may not be seen in the model. This model seems to be able to use the similar sensor and lens structure with its predecessor. A real innovation on the camera side is only expected to be introduced in the beginning of 2027 Galaxy S28 It is stated that it can come with the series. Of course, this information is not confirmed by Samsung, but considering the past model cycles and commercial tendencies of the company, it does not seem unlikely. Among the most important elements that may affect the decisions of the company are models that competing brands will launch and the user expectations to be created by these models.
However, progress continues by camera systems for the rest of the market. Producers such as Apple, Xiaomi, Oppo and Honor offer larger sensors, advanced optical structures and hardware -based image processing technologies each year. Some of these manufacturers prefer higher photo quality at the expense of increasing device thickness. It is a controversial issue whether Samsung can only respond to this competition through software and chipset. In this process, where consumer preferences will be decisive, it does not seem easy to establish a sustainable superiority with only artificial intelligence -based solutions.
The technical details of the Galaxy S26 and S27 series have not yet been finalized. But in this period when leaks are intensified, it may not be realistic to expect a radical difference in the new models. When Samsung’s current functioning structure and design preferences in recent years are examined, significant changes in camera components are strengthened. Technical documents and official explanations of the models to be available will clarify the accuracy of this approach over time.
