Samsung's Galaxy S27 series could be the biggest change to the lineup in years, with new leaks suggesting that Samsung is testing a Sony camera sensor, adding a fourth "Pro" model, and making big changes to zoom and selfies.
Samsung flagships for the past 10+ years have almost exclusively used Samsung-made ISOCELL sensors which may finally change with the S27.
Key Leaks So Far
- 50MP Sony Ultra Wide: Using IMX855 sensor
- 50MP Telephoto: with built-in stabilization
- 16MP Selfie: First time on Pro/Ultra models with autofocus
- Possible Sony Main Sensor: Testing on S27 and S27+ prototypes.
But take it with a grain of salt. We heard exactly the same "Samsung to Sony" rumor before the Galaxy S25's launch that never happened.
4 Galaxy S27 phones coming in 2026
According to SamMobile via WinFuture Samsung is planning 4 devices instead of 3:
- Galaxy S27 - Codename NM1

"NM" stands for "Next Miracle" The S26 series was codenamed "Miracle" The Pro model will sit between the Plus and Ultra.
Galaxy S27 and S27+: What to Expect
The base models seem like a minor upgrade.
- 50MP Main Camera with OIS
- 12MP Ultra Wide
- Telephoto with unknown resolution
There is no major hardware jump compared to the S25 and S24.
