New Delhi: Samsung reportedly plans significant changes to its next-generation Galaxy S27 flagship lineup. This includes a new Pro model, upgraded cameras, improved privacy display technology, and built-in magnets for wireless charging accessories. The series is expected to launch in January or February 2027.
According to leaked information, import-export listings, and industry reports, the lineup could comprise four smartphones: Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Plus, Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra. Samsung has not officially confirmed the specifications.
Samsung Galaxy S27 design and magnetic charging
The Galaxy S27 series could receive a redesigned rear camera arrangement. Previously leaked CAD renders and a dummy unit suggest Samsung may adopt a camera island resembling Apple’s iPhone Pro models, though the individual lens placement could differ.

Another possible addition is built-in magnets for magnetic wireless charging and compatible accessories, eliminating the need for special cases. Earlier Galaxy S models reportedly did not feature integrated magnets because Samsung wanted to maintain a slim design and avoid interference with the S Pen.
Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra may get privacy display
Samsung could extend its privacy display technology to the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra. Introduced with the Galaxy S26 Ultra, the feature limits how much screen content people can see when viewing the phone from the sides.
The expected display sizes across the four models are:
- Galaxy S27: 6.3 inches
- Galaxy S27 Plus: 6.7 inches
- Galaxy S27 Pro: 6.5 inches
- Galaxy S27 Ultra: 6.9 inches

Processor selection could be a major differentiator. Import-export listings cited by Notebookcheck suggest that the Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus could use Samsung's Exynos 2700 in European markets.
The S27 Pro is tipped to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, while the Ultra could get the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. All four chipsets are reportedly expected to use a 2nm manufacturing process.
Leaks suggest that the Exynos 2700 could feature a 10-core CPU and 16-core GPU, although its real-world performance remains unknown.
200MP cameras and larger batteries
The Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra are both tipped to feature a 200-megapixel primary rear camera and a 50-megapixel ultrawide sensor with autofocus.
The Pro could get a 10-megapixel or 12-megapixel telephoto camera, while the Ultra may feature a 50-megapixel telephoto sensor with 5x optical zoom. Both models are also expected to have a 16-megapixel front camera.
Battery capacity could reach 5,000mAh on the Pro and 5,500mAh on the Ultra. Both models are reportedly expected to support 60W wired and 25W wireless charging.
Launch timeline, software and expected price
The Galaxy S27 series is expected to run Android 17 with Samsung's One UI 9.0 interface. The company could continue offering seven years of software updates.
