Leaks indicate that the Samsung Galaxy S27 series will feature a new Pro model, a three-camera Ultra variant, and advanced silicon-carbon batteries.
Reports suggest the S27 Pro will fit between the S27+ and Ultra, lacking an S Pen but utilizing high-grade silicon.
According to *Tech Advisor*, the S27 series will consist of four models: S27, S27+, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra, with internal codenames NM1–NM4 confirming this structure.
IceUniverse has hinted that the Ultra may drop its 10MP 3x telephoto lens, resulting in a three-camera setup comprising a 200MP main, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP telephoto lens, corroborated by *PhoneArena* and *Galaxy Club*.
Higher-tier models are expected to adopt silicon-carbon anode batteries, potentially exceeding 5,000mAh capacity without increasing phone size, as reported by *Geeky Gadgets* and *Android Central*, which cites a 5,700mAh battery for the Ultra.
Additionally, Samsung may partner with Chinese manufacturer BOE for the base model's display, a strategic move to maintain the Ultra's premium status, according to *PhoneArena*.
As the Unpacked event approaches, expected in early 2027, the volume of leaks is likely to increase, although the reliability of individual claims may decrease due to the influx of speculation.
“The S27 Pro and Ultra could share a Snapdragon chip worldwide, while the base and Plus keep the regional Snapdragon-versus-Exynos split. Qualcomm has told key customers chip prices will rise by a double-digit figure starting September 2026, potentially adding $50–$100 to the base S27.”
