Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra: only three cameras, but a significantly improved main sensor

It won't arrive until early next year, but Samsung's new Galaxy S smartphone range is already generating buzz, starting with major changes to the camera module. Camera module: from four to three cameras on the Galaxy S27 Ultra. The premium Galaxy S27 Ultra model is expected to be affected, with the number of cameras dropping from four to three. In exchange, the main 200MP sensor (presumably an Isocell HP6) will gain a feature not seen since the Galaxy S10 series: a variable aperture system. 200MP sensor and the return of the variable aperture. This technology, usually reserved for professional cameras, allows adjustment of the amount of light reaching the sensor. In practical terms, more light can be captured in dark environments, and less in overly bright conditions to prevent overexposure. Furthermore, this mechanical system will allow for better control of depth of field, or the artistic bokeh blur. Lofic technology for improved image dynamics: This system has apparently undergone significant improvement, as it is also expected to debut on iPhones with the iPhone 18 Pro/Max models scheduled for release this fall. Moreover, the main sensor is expected to be equipped with Lofic technology (Later Overflow Integration Capacitor) to improve the dynamic range of colors and refine details in both dark and bright areas of an image. Enhanced main zoom and the disappearance of the 10MP telephoto lens: The removal of the 10MP telephoto lens, previously found on the Ultra series, will be compensated for by the zoom of the main lens. In other words, the device will not lose any of its capture capabilities; on the contrary, the space freed up by this component would allow for the addition of others, such as a magnet to facilitate Qi2 wireless charging.
