Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra could feature a bigger battery and magnetic charging — but it may come at the expense of the cameras

Rear view of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra held up against a brick wall.

We're still several months out from the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra, but the rumors have started rolling in revealing some of the changes we might be able to expect from the phone. According to leaker yeux1122 over on Naver, there could be some significant changes coming to the phone's hardware — including the loss of a camera lens.

The leaker claims that Samsung will be removing the secondary telephoto camera lens. The fourth lens has long offered 3x optical zoom, and a resolution far below that of the main telephoto camera. The Galaxy S26 Ultra's 3x lens offers just 12MP resolution, compared to the 50MP on its counterpart. This is never a particularly good look, when you're glancing at hardware specs.
