Selfie camera cutout is a major thing remaining to be innovated on mobile displays, and it looks like Samsung is already on it. It seems Samsung had a way to reduce the Galaxy S26 Ultra selfie camera cutout, but S27 Ultra may adopt it.

Galaxy S26 Ultra was introduced in February 2026, and in particular, it brings a bigger selfie camera hole over its predecessor. The shift results in a wider field of view on the front camera to improve group selfies.

Samsung seems to have had a new technology to shrink the selfie camera cutout, which was skipped on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, reportedly debuting with the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and potentially expanding to the Galaxy S27 Ultra.

Recently, tipster IceUniverse revealed that Samsung could use a new technology in the Galaxy Z Fold 8’s cover screen. The new solution significantly reduces the diameter of the hole of the front camera on the display.

With under-display camera tech, which isn’t favorable for premium phones, it’s great to see the hole is getting smaller. Galaxy Z Fold 8 may bring the innovation, which could potentially head to the S27 Ultra next year.

Ice Universe today posted a handful of images of the Galaxy S26 Ultra with its actual selfie camera cutout (4.0mm) and how it could have looked if the Fold 8’s tech (2.5mm) was adopted in it. The difference is big; big enough to flip the script.

That said, the Galaxy Z Fold 8 may bring a preview of the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s possible selfie camera hole. The Unpacked is likely to take place in late July in London, while the Galaxy S event may take place early next year.
