Samsung Galaxy S27 series may feature a horizontal camera layout and larger batteries

The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 series is expected to introduce a horizontal camera module design across its lineup, a shift intended to eliminate device wobble when placed on flat surfaces and optimize internal space for larger batteries. Reports indicate that the Galaxy S27 Ultra will transition to a triple-camera setup, removing the secondary 3x telephoto lens to prioritize a 200-megapixel main sensor and a 5x periscope telephoto lens. Battery capacity is also set to increase, with the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra reportedly utilizing silicon-carbon battery technology to achieve higher energy density without increasing the physical footprint of the devices. Specifically, the S27 Pro is expected to feature a 5,200 mAh battery, while the S27 Ultra may reach 5,700 mAh. Regarding processing power, the series is anticipated to utilize the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset globally for the Pro and Ultra models, while the standard S27 and S27 Plus may continue to use a split strategy between the Exynos 2700 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite depending on the regional market.
