Multiple industry reports indicate that Samsung is developing a new model for its 2027 flagship smartphone series, the Galaxy S27 Pro.
This device is expected to join the existing Galaxy S27, S27+, and S27 Ultra models, expanding the lineup to four distinct variants.
Lineup and Market Position
According to reports from South Korean publication ETNews and entries in the GSMA database, Samsung is preparing four Galaxy S27 series phones for an early 2027 release. The new Galaxy S27 Pro is reportedly positioned between the Plus and Ultra models in terms of pricing and specifications. This move follows Samsung's cancellation of the Galaxy S26 Edge, which was previously planned as a fourth model but was abandoned due to weak consumer demand for the Galaxy S25 Edge.
The S27 Pro is aimed at users who desire the high-end features of the Ultra model in a more compact form factor.
Display and Design
ETNews reports that the Galaxy S27 Pro will feature a 6.47-inch OLED display, making it the second smallest device in the lineup, larger than the base Galaxy S27 but smaller than the S27+ and S27 Ultra. The GSMA database lists a device with model number SM-S957B/DS (Galaxy S27 Pro) alongside SM-S956U (Galaxy S27+), SM-S958U (Galaxy S27 Ultra), and SM-S952U (Galaxy S27).
Key Features and Specifications
According to reports, the S27 Pro is expected to share several features with the Ultra model, including the next-generation Snapdragon processor and Samsung's Privacy Display technology. This Privacy Display, currently available only on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, allows users to limit the screen's viewing angle so content is visible only when viewed directly.
Multiple sources indicate the Galaxy S27 Pro will not include S Pen support. The device is expected to have a 12MP front-facing camera and a rear camera system featuring:
- A 200MP primary sensor
- A 50MP ultrawide lens with autofocus
- A 50MP telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom
These specifications are detailed in GSMA database entries.
Differentiation and Strategy
Analysts suggest the S27 Pro is aimed at users who desire the high-end features of the Ultra model in a more compact form factor without the S Pen stylus. This strategy parallels Apple's iPhone Pro lineup, which offers premium features in multiple screen sizes. The inclusion of the S27 Pro would give Samsung four flagship models, mirroring Apple's current smartphone product range.
Unconfirmed Details
Samsung has not officially confirmed these details. Reports note that specific information regarding pricing and complete specifications remains undisclosed. Additionally, a Galaxy S27 FE (Fan Edition) model may launch later in 2027, separate from the main flagship lineup.
