Leaked CAD renders said to be official have surfaced for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Ultra, giving an early look at the company's next flagship designs. Android Headlines published the exclusive renders on Wednesday, August 26, 2026, showing what appears to be the standard and Ultra models.
The most notable change appears on the Galaxy S27 Ultra, which reportedly features fewer cameras than its predecessor. PhoneArena describes this reduction as the best upgrade in years, suggesting Samsung is streamlining the rear camera array rather than adding more lenses. Android Central notes the redesign looks increasingly similar to Apple's iPhone, a point echoed by 9to5Google, which observes that Samsung is sticking with a design direction it has refused to abandon.
The renders are CAD-based, meaning they likely represent the final manufacturing blueprints rather than concept art. This suggests the images are close to what consumers will see when the devices launch. However, the leaks do not include specifications, pricing, or a release date, so details on the camera hardware or internal components remain unconfirmed.
Samsung has not commented on the leaks, and as with all unofficial renders, there is a chance the final product could differ. The reports agree, though, that the S27 Ultra's camera layout is a deliberate shift, prioritizing simplicity over sheer lens count.
What to watch next: Samsung's official announcement, expected later this year, will confirm whether the leaked design holds and what the camera changes mean for image quality.
