Galaxy S27 Ultra may get a slimmer camera thanks to this hidden upgrade

TL;DR Samsung reportedly plans to expand its inkjet lens process on the Galaxy S27 Ultra. The technology could help reduce the thickness of the camera module. More internal space gives Samsung greater flexibility for future camera upgrades.

Bigger sensors, better zoom cameras, and stronger stabilization all have one thing in common: they take up space. That’s why flagship phones often end up with increasingly chunky camera bumps . Samsung may have another way to tackle that problem.

According to a report from ZDNet Korea , Samsung plans to expand a specialized inkjet lens printing process across three rear camera modules on the Galaxy S27 Ultra. While Samsung first tested this process on the Galaxy S26 Ultra , expanding it across the new camera array signals a major push toward slimmer, higher-performing optical hardware.
