In response to a leaker, Samsung is likely to be engaged on a redesign for its Galaxy S smartphones, however there’s an enormous asterisk that may put us in the identical scenario because the Galaxy S26 collection was left in.
Leaker Lanzuk on Korean social media web site Naver says that Samsung is contemplating a redesign of the rear digital camera on the “subsequent” Galaxy S mannequin, which might be the Galaxy S27. In a touch upon the publish, Lanzuk says that Qi2/magentic equipment are a “half” of why Samsung is contemplating the change.
Paradoxically, this comes not lengthy after Samsung known as the vertical digital camera design a “core id” of Galaxy gadgets, implying it wouldn’t change.
The publish additionally implies that digital camera specs is also revised within the subsequent era, one thing we’ve been listening to for years now.
This all sounds nice. We’ve been saying that Samsung has caught itself in a nook round Qi2 which, as a rising trade customary, will proceed to make third-party equipment more durable and more durable to make use of with Galaxy telephones over time – not like what some on-line discussions might suggest, Qi2 magnets aren’t all about charging.
However, sadly, there’s an enormous “if” on this dialog.
The potential holdup on Samsung introducing this new redesign in Galaxy S27 is seemingly depending on “latest value points” which might push the “full overhaul” right into a delay, “on maintain” because the publish places it. Samsung already delay a ton of upgrades that have been anticipated to debut within the Galaxy S26 collection because of value issues and making an attempt to match the iPhone’s value level, and that didn’t even work with costs nonetheless going up on sure variants.
With the impacts of the RAM disaster persevering with – and sure not getting higher anytime quickly – I’m personally not precisely hopeful we see this redesign anytime quickly.
