• Samsung reportedly scrapped plans to use a larger 200MP sensor in the Galaxy S27 Ultra, likely due to cost and supply chain concerns. • This rumor comes after Sony announced the 200MP LYT-901 sensor, a more advanced alternative to Samsung’s 200MP cameras. • The next few Ultra models may stick with Samsung’s current 200MP hardware, with no major main-camera upgrades on the horizon.
