Looks like we should still expect 200MP; However, Samsung may upgrade the sensor from ISOCELL HP2 to ISOCELL HP6. It will be placed on top of the 1\/1.3-inch format. As for the &#8220;new technologies&#8221; part of the rumor, the tipster didn&#8217;t expand on what that might look like.<\/p>\n<p>From the sounds of it it seems like we should expect an increase in the photography or videography capabilities of the phone. We&#8217;re a year away, so it&#8217;s time to see how it develops. Another camera rumor for the Galaxy S27 series suggests that Samsung may be reworking its design. Reportedly, this redesign will enable the new Qi2 magnetic charging. Rumors on this are not spreading completely yet. There is reportedly a possibility that Samsung may abandon the idea to avoid additional costs.<\/p>\n<hr id=\"elk-601f5c3a-08e4-4cf9-96e1-e6558a65e72c\"\/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-62e18c86-4192-41ad-8240-d309bcc39c58\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"android-central-s-take-3\">Android Central&#8217;s Tech<\/h2>\n<p id=\"elk-62f23dc9-d73b-424d-8473-0d1077a9018c\">In a way, I agree with how some users on social media have reacted to this rumor; The 3x option may have been in an awkward position compared to other lenses. There&#8217;s also a possibility that Samsung may ditch the 3x and focus on its other lenses. A better upgrade may come as it doesn&#8217;t require focusing on a fourth option. This could be a good thing.<\/p>\n<div id=\"slice-container-newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-o8VHoctL8EMge7cSEV7mWd\" class=\"slice-container newsletter-inbodyContent-slice newsletterForm-articleInbodyContent-o8VHoctL8EMge7cSEV7mWd slice-container-newsletterForm\">\n<div data-hydrate=\"true\" class=\"newsletter-form__wrapper newsletter-form__wrapper--inbodyContent\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form__container\">\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__top-bar\"\/>\n<section class=\"newsletter-form__main-section\">\n<p class=\"newsletter-form__strapline\">Get the latest news from Android Central, your trusted partner in the world of Android<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What you need to know Early rumors claim that Samsung is considering removing its 3x telephoto option on the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
