Leaker Ice Universe claims Samsung is working on a phone whose screen slides out, changing aspect ratio from 16:9 to roughly 21:9 when extended. Samsung previously showed a similar sliding-display concept at MWC 2026, though that prototype's mechanism was not yet motorized. Earlier reports have suggested Samsung could release a commercial rollable or slidable device around 2028.
Leaker Ice Universe claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra will launch in four colors: Black, Blue, Light Pink, and White. The report suggests Light Pink may replace the Deep Purple option offered on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, though exact shades and finishes were not specified.
Leaker Ice Universe claims Samsung's Galaxy S27 Ultra will weigh 218 grams, about 4 grams more than the Galaxy S26 Ultra, while keeping the same 7.9mm thickness. The extra weight follows earlier reports that the phone will carry a larger 5,700mAh battery, up from 5,000mAh in the current model.
Leakers Digital Chat Station and Ice Universe report that Huawei's Mate 90 Pro Max will have a special edition variant supporting a detachable external camera accessory. Unlike telephoto extender lenses used on rival phones, this add-on reportedly has its own 1-inch sensor with continuous optical zoom from 24mm to 240mm (1x-10x) and an aperture ranging from f/2.0 to f/4.5.
Tipster Ice Universe claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra will use a 200MP ISOCELL HP6 main sensor based on Samsung's DeepPix pixel architecture, which he says produces warmer colors, better highlight control, and cleaner shadows than the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The same leak suggests Samsung may remove the dedicated 3x telephoto lens, leaving the phone to jump from 1x directly to 5x zoom.
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.
Leaker Ice Universe claims Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra will adopt a split-screen privacy feature already found on Xiaomi's newly announced 18 Pro series. The feature would dim only one app window in split-screen mode while keeping the other visible, adjusting dynamically as windows are resized.
Samsung has started rolling out a Google Photos integration within its Gallery app, adding a new 'Sync photos and videos' option under settings that lets users automatically back up their photos and videos through Google's cloud service. The rollout follows Samsung's earlier confirmation that it was ending its OneDrive backup partnership with Microsoft in favor of a new deal with Google, and the feature is currently appearing for some users on Samsung Gallery version 15.9.01.7.
