Galaxy S27 Ultra will receive a 200 megapixel sensor instead of 3x zoom

All the rumours about the upcoming S26 Ultra have not yet been discussed, and information about the Galaxy S27 Ultra, which is expected in January 2027, has already begun to appear.

The women at Samsung's production facility are giggling and gesturing that the Galaxy S27 Ultra has a huge... camera sensor. If rumours are to be believed, it's a 1/1.1″ 200MP sensor from Sony. Of course, every flagship claims to have the biggest... camera sensor, but it seems that in this case it's about overcompensation. Every psychiatrist will tell you that if a flagship boasts of something great, it's to compensate for something else. In the case of the Galaxy S27, experienced women say that the phone is trying to compensate for the lack of a separate 3x zoom.

It really makes sense. The main camera with the best sensor and aperture optics produces very good image quality, which can be as good as a telephoto lens with a small sensor. In addition, it's worth remembering that unlike the iPhone, Samsung's 3x zoom has never been the pinnacle of technology. The Galaxy S Ultra line has an excellent 5x zoom. Therefore, replacing a reduced separate 3x sensor with a crop is a completely logical evolutionary decision.

The only question that arises is how this will affect the mating season? After all, by fluffing up 4 cameras on advertising brochures, the flagship will look more attractive in the eyes of potential females than competitors with three. It is unlikely that the marketing department is unaware of this feature of mating games in the store. It's too early to talk about the 2027 smartphone, but we can only say that the current rumours are not devoid of logic and do not contradict the laws of evolution.

It will also be useful to recall that it has recently become known that the S26 Ultra may receive a 10% larger battery.
