Samsung is expected to reveal its flagship Galaxy S27 series early next year. A patent application suggests that Samsung could be preparing a complete design change for the lineup, which is likely to include the vanilla Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra.

Spotted by Sammyguru, a recent Samsung patent document on the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) website suggests that the company is considering a major design change for the Galaxy S27 series. Images in the database show different rear camera designs for the Galaxy S27 series, marking a significant design change from the existing Galaxy S26.

The Galaxy S27 series appears to have camera sensors positioned side by side within a single horizontal module, rather than the separate camera rings seen on recent Galaxy models. The rear camera module appears to be almost flush with the rear panel, potentially offering a slimmer appearance. The new design could offer more space on the rear for Qi2-compatible accessories.
