Samsung’s Galaxy S27 sequence remains to be months away from an official reveal, however the leaks are already piling up, and the most recent one focuses on one thing followers have debated for years: the digicam design.
New design visuals noticed within the WIPO International Design Database (by way of SammyGuru) reveal Samsung could also be testing a contemporary triple-camera structure for the Galaxy S27 series that ditches the person ring setup we’ve grown used to on flagships.
A Pixel-style digicam bar for Galaxy?
The WIPO submitting reveals all three rear digicam sensors sit facet by facet inside one horizontal bar, nearer to what Google has been doing with the Pixel lineup, or perhaps a callback to Samsung’s own Galaxy S10 days.
The digicam module seems to take a seat virtually flush in opposition to the again glass, with not one of the pronounced bump that present Galaxy S telephones carry round, which ought to translate to a slimmer, cleaner-looking machine.
There’s additionally a sensible angle right here.
A flatter digicam setup means much less interference for these magnetic circumstances, and the telephoto lens gained’t be preventing for area the way in which it typically does now.
Away from the digicam, the design doesn’t present a lot of a shakeup. Rounded corners, flat sides, the overall Galaxy S silhouette we already know. Samsung isn’t reinventing the entire cellphone right here, simply rethinking how the cameras sit on it.
It’s price remembering {that a} design patent submitting isn’t a affirmation.
Design patents present up in WIPO’s database pretty usually, and firms file a number of ideas they by no means find yourself delivery. So this might effectively be one in all a number of concepts Samsung is testing internally fairly than the ultimate name.
Nonetheless, paired with different leaks pointing to a “unified digicam module” changing the floating rings, there’s an honest likelihood the Galaxy S27 finally ends up trying noticeably completely different from what’s presently sitting in your pocket.
