Samsung S27: Camera details (Expected)

With the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27, the smartphone maker is reportedly set to feature a 50MP Sony-powered primary camera. If the rumours are accurate, this would mark the first time Samsung has moved away from using its in-house ISOCELL camera sensor for the main camera. Alongside that you may receive a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a telephoto lens. For selfies and video calls, the device could sport a 12MP front-facing camera.

Samsung S27: Launch timeline and price (Expected)

While the smartphone maker has not yet announced the launch date for the Samsung Galaxy S27, if the brand follows its old launch pattern, then the device could launch somewhere around February or March of 2027. Early reports also suggest that the device could be priced around Rs 90,000. These are just speculative prices and might change at the time of launch.
