Samsung Electronics is preparing a major structural overhaul for its upcoming smartphone flagship lineup, according to leaked hardware designs and industry reports surfacing over the weekend. An alleged render of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra reveals a redesigned device featuring a horizontal camera plateau reminiscent of Apple Inc.’s iPhone Pro models and a missing camera lens compared to current iterations.
Leaked Designs Reveal iPhone-Style Camera Plateau
The preliminary drawings and renders originated from prominent industry leakers, including a tipster known as Ice Universe, who posted a series of sketches across digital channels over the weekend. Ice Universe initially shared a cryptic drawing accompanied by the statement, I can’t say anything,
before following up with a full-body sketch of the phone’s rear chassis. The drawings indicate the presence of a circular marking on the back panel, which analysts expect represents a Qi2 magnetic alignment ring designed to support upgraded wireless charging capabilities.

Reduced Camera Count and New Pro Sizing Options
Beyond the aesthetic shift, the leaked schematics point to a reduction in rear optics for the top-tier flagship model. Meanwhile, hardware tipster Sonny Dickson published separate renders indicating that Samsung intends to offer the Ultra flagship in two distinct physical sizes, suggesting the introduction of a new S27 Pro variant to better align with Apple’s dual-tier Pro and Pro Max strategy.
Speaker Adjustments and Hardware Roadmap
The structural revisions extend to the physical placement of audio components across the device family. Ice Universe noted that the primary bottom-firing speaker will shift to the right side on the standard S27, S27 Plus, and S27 Pro models, while the Galaxy S27 Ultra will supposedly position its speaker on the left side. Industry observers caution that these early schematics remain unconfirmed by the manufacturer. While Samsung launched its preceding S26 series in February, tech analysts expect the company to maintain a comparable release schedule for the S27 lineup early next year, with physical dummy units likely appearing in autumn to provide a clearer indication of the final production hardware.
