According to a new report, next year’s Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra might drop the lackluster 3x zoom camera, moving the next-gen flagship to a triple camera system instead of the long-running quad-array that Ultra flagships are regularly known for. With the extra space, Samsung is reportedly revamping its main camera with variable aperture capabilities while doubling down on its 5x lens to capture distant detail with a 200MP sensor of its own.Sounds reasonable on paper, but this rumor has me more than a little concerned. Not because Samsung’s 3x camera has been a must-have feature in recent Ultras. I agree with commentators who aren’t exactly enamored with Samsung’s mid-range telephoto lens. While it might come in handy for portraits, the level of detail leaves a lot to be desired, and it’s proven to be incredibly noisy in low light. However, today’s bigger, better 3x zoom lenses have quickly become my favorite tool on the best camera phones.
