GoKawiilOnLeaks and Ice Universe dispute Galaxy S27 Ultra camera island layout
Leaker Steve 'OnLeaks' Hemmerstoffer posted a new render of the Galaxy S27 Ultra's rear camera island, showing a pill-shaped module with a telephoto lens, microphone cutout, auxiliary sensors including laser autofocus, and an LED flash stacked top to bottom. This followed reports from leaker Ice Universe, who examined early Chinese third-party cases that lacked cutouts for some sensors, prompting speculation Samsung had dropped laser autofocus; Ice Universe has since pushed back on OnLeaks' arrangement, saying the flash sits above the camera rather than below.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The conflicting claims show that CAD renders and case molds can miss flush or subtle hardware details, making early leaks about unreleased phones unreliable. Until Samsung confirms specs, buyers and case makers are left guessing at the exact camera and sensor placement on what is expected to be its next flagship.
