Early design details for Samsung’s next ultra flagship are starting to solidify. Confidential Ice Universe has shared some precise measurements of the Galaxy S27 Ultra. The upcoming flagship is expected to have a 1.28 mm display bezel, a small step down from the 1.32 mm on the S26 Ultra.
While Samsung is pushing the boundaries for a more immersive screen, it lags behind some Chinese rivals. The Xiaomi 18 Pro Max and the Oppo Find X10 Pro Max have already reduced bezels to 0.99 mm and 1.15 mm. Any major visual jump could come at the bottom of the new AMOLED panel with improved privacy display tech rather than the bezel trim itself.
The camera module, on the other hand, gets a bit thicker. Ice Universe’s numbers put the bump at 4.69mm, up from around 4.5mm on the S26 Ultra and a touch higher than the 4.56mm suggested in previous OnLeaks CAD renderings.
Previous leaks have linked the main sensor to a new ISOCELL HP6. It’s still in the 1/1.3-inch class, but the lens module could be physically thicker than that of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which could help with light gathering or optics. A larger battery is also expected.
These small dimensional changes sit alongside wider design rumours, including a move to a wider rectangular camera housing that stretches more across the back instead of the older vertical setup.
The Galaxy S27 series is still expected in the usual early-2027 window (January or February). The tweaks are small on paper, but they suggest Samsung is carefully balancing a familiar design with the need to fit better cameras and a bigger battery inside.
