The Samsung Galaxy S26 series was thought to include a new Pro version, which was meant to take the place of the ‘Plus' version in its top smartphone series. However, it seems the company has chosen not to launch this phone, keeping the original names for the Galaxy S26 series. Recently, there have been rumors about the Galaxy S27 series, suggesting that it will likely feature a Galaxy S27 Pro model, positioned right below the Ultra model. A recent report indicates that the Pro version may have a superior telephoto camera compared to the rumored Galaxy S27 Ultra, while maintaining the same main and ultrawide cameras. According to a report from Android Headlines, the rumored Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro is likely to provide “a better camera experience” than the top Galaxy S27 Ultra. The South Korean tech company is expected to equip the Pro version with a 50-megapixel All Lenses on Prism (ALoP) camera on the back, unlike the 50-megapixel standard telephoto camera anticipated for next year’s Ultra model.
The ALoP lens on the Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro is rumored to provide 3.5x optical zoom, while the telephoto camera on the Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to offer 5x optical zoom. This is believed to be the main distinction between the camera setups of these two smartphones. Both models are said to come with a 200-megapixel main rear camera and the same ultrawide camera. Samsung claims that their ISOCELL ALoP zoom lens design is more compact because the optical parts are positioned above the prism. Additionally, the South Korean company states that the ALoP design allows for capturing brighter images, which improves performance in low-light situations.
A recent update has confirmed that the Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro will come with a 6.47-inch OLED display. It is also anticipated that this smartphone will have similar specifications and features as the Galaxy S27 Ultra. However, the Pro model might lack support for the S Pen stylus. The Samsung Galaxy S27 series is expected to be unveiled early next year, although the company has not yet verified these details.
