More details about the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra's cameras emerge
Back in late August, a rumor claimed Samsung would equip the Galaxy S27 Ultra with a new telephoto camera with 4x optical zoom. This would have used a 1/1.9" type sensor. Earlier this week, however, another source vehemently denied this, claiming that the S27 Ultra would have the exact same 5x optical zoom telephoto camera as its predecessor.
Today a new, usually reliable source has chimed in on the controversy as well. According to Roland Quandt, the Galaxy S27 Ultra will use a 50MP 5x optical zoom telephoto camera with a Sony sensor. So it's not going to be 4x optical zoom, which strongly implies that it will indeed be the same camera seen in the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Quandt also mentions that the Galaxy S27 Ultra's ultrawide camera will have 50MP resolution, matching the S26 Ultra. Finally, he says the upcoming flagship will have a 16MP selfie camera with autofocus. That would be a change from the S26 Ultra's 12MP selfie snapper.
The Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to feature the recently unveiled M16 OLED panel, and it will be powered, at least in some markets, by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset (though there have been rumors about the Exynos 2700 being offered in some markets).

New main cam sensor long overdue!! The 4 times recycled one from S23U sucked in low light even back then. Same goes for the small, overused 3x telephoto sensor. Samsung sleeping for 4 years while lots of potential customers switched to other brands b...
