Samsung just launched the Galaxy S26 Ultra, and rumors of the Galaxy S27 Ultra LOFIC camera evolution have started to surface. The latest entry signals a breakthrough in imaging capabilities, matching the “king of lenses.”

Leaker Digital Chat Station revealed that Samsung is developing a new 200MP sensor internally labeled HPA. A large 1/1.12 inch sensor with LOFIC technology baked in. In industry circles, it is already being called the “king of lenses.”

Ice Universe stepped in with the part Samsung diehards actually care about. The Samsung insider revealed that the Galaxy S27 Ultra will not use the exact HPA unit; it will use HP6. Meanwhile, there’s more you should know.

The HP6 is essentially the consumer-tuned version of HPA. Slightly smaller at 1/1.3 inch, which sounds like a downgrade if you only read spec sheets, but performance matches the larger 200MP ISOCELL HPA camera sensor.

LOFIC is the real story

LOFIC stands for Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor. What it really means is better dynamic range. LOFIC allows the sensor to store extra charge when light gets intense, instead of clipping it.

The result should be cleaner HDR without the artificial overprocessing that sometimes makes Samsung photos look overcooked. If Samsung gets this right, it is about image quality that actually competes with the best.

If you are holding an S24 Ultra or older, the S26 Ultra will still be a massive leap. But if you already own the S25 and care deeply about camera innovation, 2027 is shaping up to be the real reset.
