Dummy units reportedly representing Samsung’s next Galaxy S27 phones have surfaced in an image shared by tipster Sonny Dickson. The models suggest that the Galaxy S27 Ultra and Galaxy S27 Pro could move to a wide, elongated rear camera island, while the S27+ appears closer to Samsung’s current design language.
On the alleged Ultra and Pro units, the camera housing spans a substantial portion of the upper rear panel. Two lenses appear raised from the island, with two further cutouts sitting flush within it. The layout aligns with previously leaked CAD-based images, although dummy hardware cannot confirm the final design or camera specifications.
The wider camera arrangement is said to leave room for proper alignment of Qi2 magnetic accessories, which can be obstructed by an elongated camera assembly. Samsung has previously offered cases with integrated magnets for older flagship phones, but the dummy units point to a potential hardware-level change in approach.
The Galaxy S27+ dummy retains a vertical, pill-shaped camera module with three sensors and a separate LED flash. The standard Galaxy S27 is also expected to use a similar arrangement.
Different chips rumored across the lineup
Separate reports point to a more clearly divided processor strategy between the models:
- Galaxy S27 Ultra: Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6.
- Galaxy S27 Pro: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.
- Galaxy S27+: Exynos 2700, reportedly for the European market.
Samsung has not announced the Galaxy S27 series, and both the designs and chipset assignments remain unconfirmed. The key question is whether the apparent Qi2-focused camera redesign will carry over from these dummy units to the retail devices.
