Samsung's S27 Ultra Camera Redesign: Qi2 Integration vs. Apple Copycat Debate

Leaked renders suggest the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra will adopt a horizontal camera bar, a design shift driven by the integration of native Qi2 magnetic charging rather than a copy of Apple. The redesign aims to accommodate magnetic accessories and improve internal space for battery and cooling, though it may eliminate the 3x telephoto lens in favor of a 5x zoom. While some outlets view this as a direct imitation of the iPhone 17 Pro, others argue it is a necessary functional update to match competitors like Google and Apple, who have already adopted similar layouts for magnetic compatibility.

Leaker Ice Universe reveals Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra’s new horizontal camera bar

Leaker Ice Universe has shared a sketch suggesting the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra will adopt a horizontal camera bar, similar to Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro. This design replaces the previous vertical module, potentially improving stability on flat surfaces and allowing space for Qi2 magnetic charging. While Notebookcheck views this as a likely final design, Modernet Digital cites a WIPO patent filing as evidence of the shift, noting that such patents do not guarantee implementation. The change follows months of speculation about Samsung’s camera redesign, with earlier rumors suggesting a Google Pixel-style bar that has now been discarded. The new layout may also support the first integration of magnetic accessories in the Galaxy S series, though official confirmation is pending.
