Rumors circulating on X this week suggest Samsung is already prototyping a new camera stack for the upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra. Tipster Ice Universe, cited by SamMobile, claims the flagship will host a fresh sensor dubbed S5KHP6, which analysts believe corresponds to the ISOCELL HP6 module. If true, the chip would match the 1/1.3‑inch footprint of the earlier HP2 but push resolution to 200 megapixels on the primary lens.

A separate leak hints that Good Lock’s Camera Assistant could unlock a 24 MP shooting mode in the S27’s Photo and Portrait settings, echoing a similar tweak floated for the unreleased S26 Ultra. Additional chatter points to a revival of dual‑aperture optics—switching between wide f/1.8 and tighter apertures—to improve low‑light performance, a feature Samsung reportedly resurrects to keep pace with Apple’s recent camera upgrades. While none of the details are confirmed, the buzz underscores Samsung’s intent to reclaim a photographic edge in the premium smartphone market as competitors tighten their own sensor roadmaps.
