For a bit, the Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro sounded like a “mini Ultra” with leaks about a Privacy Display feature for its 6.47” screen. We were reminded that this wasn’t the case when it came out that the Pro and Ultra will use different telephoto cameras (but they will have the same main, ultra-wide and selfie cameras).
