TL;DR Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A27 has leaked.

The report hints at a new 12MP selfie camera with 4K recording capabilities.

According to a recent Geekbench listing, the phone could come with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3.

It’s just the beginning of the second quarter of the year, and Samsung has already wrapped up key non-flagship launches for the year. The Galaxy A07 and A17 came last year, and were recently joined by the Galaxy A37 and A57. And now, the only missing piece of the puzzle may be joining soon, as Samsung prepares to launch the Galaxy A27.

The specifications for the Galaxy A27 have recently been leaked by the Dutch technology site GalaxyClub. The leaks hint at possible improvements to the camera over last year’s Galaxy A26, including a 12MP selfie camera. Although the resolution of this sensor has been reduced from 13MP, GalaxyClub says the new sensor is actually an upgrade, as it captures more light, which, in turn, leads to better sharpness in low-light selfies.

It’s unclear whether this is the same 12MP f/2.2 selfie camera we get on the Galaxy A37 or a more economical alternative. SamMobile also speculates that the newer sensor could also allow 4K recording on the selfie camera, albeit capped at 30fps.
