This rumored Galaxy S27 Ultra change could annoy Samsung’s biggest fans
Samsung is reportedly planning to remove the 3x telephoto lens from its upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra smartphone. This change would reduce the camera setup from four to three lenses, which has been a staple of the Ultra line since the Galaxy S21 Ultra. The decision may disappoint photography enthusiasts who value the versatility of the 3x zoom for everyday photography.
- ▪The Galaxy S27 Ultra is rumored to drop its dedicated 3x telephoto lens.
- ▪The new camera setup is expected to include a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP 5x telephoto lens.
- ▪The removal of the 3x lens could impact the phone's reputation as a do-everything device.
