Base Galaxy S27 may disappoint with no major display or camera upgrades

For the past few years, Samsung has launched the base model in each new Galaxy S lineup with only minor upgrades over its predecessor. Unfortunately, the same could be true for the base model in the company's next flagship non-foldable smartphone series, the Galaxy S27 lineup.

According to Lanzuk on Naver Blog, the Galaxy S27 may not bring significant improvements in terms of display or rear camera setup over the Galaxy S26. It claims that there has been no notable development activity in the component supply chain to suggest major upgrades in either area.

The leak suggests that the lack of display-related improvements could be one of the reasons Samsung is reportedly considering BOE over Samsung Display as a supplier for the Galaxy S27's screen. If the display remains largely unchanged from that of its predecessor, Samsung may not need Samsung Display to develop a new panel and could instead source it from another supplier.

That said, it is still far too early to draw firm conclusions. The Galaxy S27 series remains in the early stages of development and is still around nine months away from launch. Samsung's plans could change considerably between now and then, and the company may yet introduce upgrades that have not surfaced through the supply chain. In other words, there's still some hope.
