Galaxy S27 Release Date, Price & Specs: All Four Models

Samsung has usually launched three Galaxy S flagships at a time, a regular model, a Plus and an Ultra, but that changes next year. In June, all four models, the Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro and S27 Ultra, showed up in the GSMA database, and according to a report from ETNews in November, Samsung is indeed planning on launching four phones next year. The S27 and S27+ are expected to be the regular models while the Pro and Ultra are set to be the premium options.

Of course, Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything just yet. Here, we’ll bring you all the Galaxy S27 series leaks and rumours, with sources and dates, including details on the Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro and S27 Ultra’s cameras, prices, release date and more. Last updated: 12 November 2026. For deeper dives, see our S27 Ultra guide, our S27 Pro guide and our S27 Ultra vs S26 Ultra comparison.

When will the Galaxy S27 be released?

Lanzuk (aka yeux1122 on Naver) has some more information on when we can expect Samsung’s next Unpacked event to take place. The leaker said on October 19 that the S27 series will most likely be released in January 2027, and February at the latest.

The leaker also claims that the BoM (bill of materials) for the S27 and S27+ is pretty much done, but there are still some undecided memory and storage options for the Pro and Ultra models. Memory chip shortages could also delay things (via SamMobile and 9to5Google). Here’s how fast Samsung’s recent Unpacked phones made it to stores:

If Samsung goes ahead with a January Unpacked, the Galaxy S27 range will most likely make it into stores in early February. A Galaxy Unpacked event in February would most likely see the Galaxy S27 series go on sale sometime towards the end of the month or even March. No leak gives an exact Unpacked date yet. Since Samsung has hosted the event on a Wednesday for the last five Galaxy S launches, some websites have suggested January 20 or 27, 2027. That's a pattern, not a leak.

How much will the Galaxy S27 cost?

Prices for each model currently come from tipster @phonefuturist, who doesn't have a long track record. The tipster's first list, posted on October 7, had lower prices, which were updated a week later after another leaker said they were outdated (via 9to5Google).

The amended pricing list suggests that the S27 and S27+ may remain in line with the current (post October price hike) price of the S26 and S26+, with just the Ultra going up in price. That said, we haven’t yet spotted any leaks regarding pricing in the UK or Europe, so it’s difficult to say exactly how much of an increase we can expect. Reports in Korea from yeux1122 and Chosun Ilbo suggest that Samsung is considering a hike of around ₩100,000 to ₩130,000 on all models, so pricing may vary from country to country.

Galaxy S27 lineup: leaked specs side by side

The gap between the two pairs is bigger than usual. The Pro and Ultra share a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, a 16MP selfie camera, 60W charging and the Privacy Display. The S27 and S27+ seem to get only small changes over this year's models. For context, the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26+ featured 4,300mAh and 4,900mAh batteries respectively, and battery sizes for the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ haven’t been leaked yet.

Cameras: two very different pairs

If you’re a photography enthusiast, this is the most important difference in the S27 range. According to GalaxyClub (via SammyGuru’s sensor list), the regular S27 and S27+ will feature a 50MP main camera (possibly using Samsung’s current main camera sensor or a new one from Sony), a 12MP ultrawide camera, a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and a 12MP selfie camera. That’s practically identical to the Samsung Galaxy S26’s camera system, except possibly for the main camera sensor.

On the other hand, both the Galaxy S27 Pro and the Galaxy S27 Ultra are expected to use Samsung’s 200MP ISOCELL HP6 image sensor for the main camera, a 50MP ultrawide camera and a 16MP front camera with autofocus support. The only camera difference between the two appears to be zoom. The Pro is likely to get a 3x telephoto camera (possibly the same sensor used by the 3x telephoto camera on the Galaxy S26 Ultra), while the Ultra will ditch the 3x telephoto camera and only have a 50MP periscope camera with 5x optical zoom support. The Galaxy S27 Ultra’s photos will have cleaner, warmer colour processing, according to Ice Universe.

One feature we won’t see on any of the Samsung Galaxy S27 models is a variable aperture. ETNews reported in August that Samsung tested variable-aperture camera modules for the S27 series and scrapped the idea because of the extra cost and thickness (via SamMobile). The Samsung Galaxy S27 series will launch with One UI 9.5. Leaked screenshots of the camera app, from a test build running on the current S26, show a tidied up user interface and a 24MP photo mode that sits in between the standard 12MP option and the full 50MP/200MP resolutions (via Android Authority).

Chips, charging and battery

A Korean leak suggests that the S27 Pro and Ultra will also have Snapdragon chips in Korea. An EU import listing from November 4 (via Android Authority) shows the S27 and S27+ with Samsung’s Exynos 2700 chip, while the Pro is listed with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Ultra with the faster Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6. We’d expect the US versions of the S27 and S27+ to have Snapdragon chips.

Certification filings (via Notebookcheck) suggest the S27 will get 25W charging, the S27+ 45W, and the Pro and Ultra 60W. The S27 Ultra’s 3C filing in China indicates a battery with a rated capacity of 5,534mAh (which Samsung will probably advertise as about 5,700mAh). The Pro’s is listed at 5,087mAh (probably sold as about 5,200mAh).

What about a Galaxy S27 Edge or S27 FE?

Don't count on an S27 Edge at launch. The S25 Edge sold poorly, no S26 Edge ever shipped, and there's nothing in terms of model numbers for an S27 Edge in any filing so far. There are rumours of a thin phone coming sometime later in 2027, but they contradict each other.

There are no S27 FE leaks at all. The S26 FE was announced on August 27, 2026 (and was available for purchase in the US on September 4 for $699.99), so if history repeats itself, we’d expect an S27 FE around late summer 2027. Again, though, that’s an estimate and not based on any leaks.

Which Galaxy S27 should you wait for?

• Go for the S27 Ultra if you’ll make use of its 5x periscope zoom camera (the only S27 with one), the biggest battery in the range, or the S Pen.
• Choose the S27 Pro if you want the new 200MP main camera and 50MP ultrawide in a more compact size, and a 3x telephoto is plenty for your zooming needs.
• Choose the S27+ if you don’t mind the camera staying basically the same as last year’s S26+ (according to leaks) but want a big screen and faster 45W charging.
• Choose the S27 if you want the most compact and affordably-priced Galaxy S27 model, although if you already own an S25 or S26 it looks like you’ll be upgrading for relatively minimal camera gains.

Leaks say the S27 and S27+ keep the S26 and S26+ camera hardware, so those on a tighter budget might be happy to wait for the announcement of the S27 series and pick up a heavily-discounted S26, S26+ or S26 Ultra instead.
