Are you looking forward to the Samsung Galaxy S27? We might have good news for you regarding the main camera.

The Samsung Galaxy S27 and its larger S27+ variant could see an interesting change to the main camera. Although Samsung is likely to introduce the new generation of flagship phones only at the beginning of 2027, the first more detailed information about the sensors has already leaked – suggesting an unexpected shift from its own technology to the Sony brand.

Samsung Galaxy S27’s Main Camera Could Come from Sony

According to information from Galaxy Club, Samsung is testing a new 50Mpx main sensor from Sony for the base models. This would be a significant turnaround: for many years, Samsung has relied on its own ISOCELL sensors, which it manufactures itself, for its flagship phones. If the leak is confirmed, it would be the first time in a long while that a competitor’s chip would be used in the main camera of a base Galaxy S model.

However, it’s worth emphasizing that this is currently only a testing phase. Testing a new sensor this early in development by no means guarantees that it will actually make it into the final phone. After all, very similar speculations about Sony sensors accompanied the Galaxy S25 series and ultimately did not materialize, so a good dose of caution is warranted.

Higher-End Models in the Series Are Heading Elsewhere

It’s interesting that the main camera change is expected to concern only the base models. The ultrawide camera on the Galaxy S27 and S27+ is said to remain at 12 Mpx, the same as in this year’s generation. The more expensive Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra, on the other hand, are expected to go in a completely different direction – there are speculations about a 50Mpx ultrawide and telephoto lens, and a 16Mpx front camera for them.

In total, Samsung is reportedly preparing four models according to current leaks: Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra. Their introduction is expected at the beginning of 2027, likely in January. However, specifications may still change several times before then, so take all today’s information with a grain of salt.

Will Samsung really opt for a Sony sensor in the base Galaxy S27?
