Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra Rumored With Camera Overhaul — 3x Telephoto May Be Dropped
Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra Rumored to Drop 3x Telephoto Lens
Samsung is reportedly overhauling the camera system on the Galaxy S27 Ultra, with the most notable change being the potential removal of the 3x telephoto lens that has been part of the lineup since the Galaxy S21 Ultra (according to 9to5Google, April 30, 2026).
What Camera Changes Are Expected?
Based on current rumors, Samsung may replace the 3x telephoto with a more versatile configuration. This change is expected to make the Galaxy S27 Ultra focus more on image quality rather than lens count alone.
Aspect | Galaxy S26 Ultra | Galaxy S27 Ultra (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
3x telephoto lens | Yes | Likely removed |
Camera config | 4 rear lenses | Complete overhaul |
Expected launch | - | Q1 2027 |
The move suggests Samsung wants to compete more aggressively with the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, which is now the most popular phone model in Apple's history.
What Does This Mean for Malaysian Users?
For users in Malaysia considering a Samsung flagship, the Galaxy S26 Ultra 256GB remains the best option currently available. This model can be purchased through monthly installment plans with no credit card required.
Users willing to wait until early 2027 may want to consider the Galaxy S27 Ultra upon launch, especially if camera quality is a top priority.
