TL;DR

• The Galaxy S27 Ultra will reportedly drop the 3x camera and switch to a triple rear camera system.
• This comes after years of Samsung’s Ultra phones offering a quad camera setup.
• This 3x camera is effectively obsolete, but it’s still handy for portraits and macro photography.

Samsung’s Galaxy S Ultra phones have offered four rear cameras since 2021’s Galaxy S21 Ultra, with the Galaxy S26 Ultra also following this trend. Unfortunately, two sources have now claimed that Samsung could drop one camera next year.

Veteran tipster Ice Universe refuted an X user’s post claiming that the Galaxy S27 Ultra will have a second rear telephoto camera. Instead, the leaker says the upcoming phone only has a 50MP 5x telephoto shooter.
