Samsung Galaxy S27 series: What do we know so far, and when will they be released?
The Samsung Galaxy S27 series hasn’t been officially announced yet, but the rumour mill is already in full swing. On this page, you can keep track of everything we know about Samsung’s next flagship series: which models are on the way, what’s changing and when you can expect them. As soon as Samsung announces the series, you’ll find all the models here, complete with their specifications and current prices. Until then, if you’re looking for a new Samsung, check out the current Galaxy S26 series or the full range of Samsung phones.
What we know so far about the Galaxy S27 series
Samsung hasn’t announced the Galaxy S27 series yet, but renders and supplier rumours are already painting a clear picture: an entry-level model with a familiar design, a new Pro that looks like a more compact Ultra, and an Ultra with a striking new camera design. Below is a summary of the rumours for each model; we’ll be keeping track of all the expected specifications on the product pages.
Which models are we expecting?
- Galaxy S27: according to leaked renders, the entry-level model retains the familiar design of its predecessor; Samsung may switch to a cheaper supplier for the screen.
- Galaxy S27 Plus: it is unconfirmed whether there will be a Plus model again; for the time being, this model does not feature in the rumours.
- Galaxy S27 Pro: new to the line-up and, based on renders, essentially a smaller version of the Ultra, with the same design language and a similar camera setup.
- Galaxy S27 Ultra: according to CAD renders, the top-of-the-range model will feature a full-width camera island and, alongside the Pro, is set to be the first to feature Samsung’s latest display panel.
The rumours regarding the display are noteworthy: over the past few generations, Samsung Display has supplied its latest OLED panels to other manufacturers first, and it is only with this series that the Pro and Ultra models are set to get that top-of-the-range screen themselves. And, strikingly for a device that calls itself ‘Pro’, it is precisely the telephoto camera that is said to be taking a step backwards.
How will the models differ?
According to the rumours, the hierarchy within the range will remain as you’d expect from Samsung: size, camera and display quality determine the ranking.
| Model | Expected positioning | Price range* |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S27 | Entry-level model, most compact size, familiar design | €€ |
| Galaxy S27 Pro | New mid-range model, flagship design in a more manageable size | €€€ |
| Galaxy S27 Ultra | Flagship model, largest screen and best cameras | €€€€ |
*Expected price ratio within the series, based on the current generation: more € symbols indicate a higher price. Once the series is officially launched, you’ll see up-to-date prices in the overview.
One thing you don’t need to worry about: every S27 will, of course, run on One UI with Galaxy AI, and Samsung provides its S series with seven years of Android and security updates. For the S27 series, this is expected to mean updates right up until 2034. So the real choice will be about size, camera and budget, not software or support.
When will the Galaxy S27 series be released?
There is no official date. Samsung traditionally announces its S series at the start of the year during a Galaxy Unpacked event, and there’s no indication that this will be any different this time. If you don’t want to miss the announcement, set up a release alert on the product page for your favourite model: you’ll receive a one-off email as soon as the device is officially announced.
Should you wait for the S27 or go for the S26 series now?
That depends mainly on your current phone. If it’s still working fine, then waiting is a comfortable option: in a few months’ time, you’ll know exactly what the S27 series has to offer. If your phone is due for an upgrade now, then the Galaxy S26 series is the logical choice: comprehensive, widely available, and prices for a generation usually fall as the successor gets closer.
Wait for the S27 series if your current phone is still up to the job and you’re mainly curious about the new S27 Pro.
Choose the S26 series if you need a phone right now: the same long-term support, available immediately.
