Four Samsung S27 lineup models are reportedly on the way
Samsung’s next major flagship refresh is already taking shape in leaks, and it could be the biggest structural change to the series in years. According to multiple reports, the Samsung S27 lineup models may expand to four: the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, a new Galaxy S27 Pro, and the Galaxy S27 Ultra. Display sizes are tipped at around 6.3 inches for the standard S27, 6.7 inches for the S27+, 6.47 inches for the S27 Pro, and 6.9 inches for the S27 Ultra. That spread would give Samsung a clear, stepped range from compact flagship phone to full‑size Ultra. Crucially, the new Pro tier is said to sit just below the Ultra in size while matching many of its specifications, signaling a deliberate move to offer more nuanced choices rather than simply “small, medium, big.”
Galaxy S27 Pro: compact flagship phone with near‑Ultra hardware
The centerpiece of the leaked strategy is the Galaxy S27 Pro, a model designed for users who want Ultra‑class performance in a smaller device. Reports suggest a 6.47‑inch OLED display, a size Samsung has not previously used in its S series and one that slots neatly between the base S27 and S27+. Early information on Galaxy S27 Pro specs points to shared core hardware with the S27 Ultra, including a next‑generation Snapdragon chipset and high‑end camera capabilities. Other leaks mention upgraded camera sensors, a larger battery than typical for its footprint, and a slimmer overall body, reinforcing its premium positioning. However, stylus fans may be disappointed: the Pro is expected to omit S Pen support. That omission is intentional, separating the Pro from the Ultra while still appealing to buyers who want a compact flagship phone without productivity accessories.
Galaxy S27 Ultra redesign: camera bar, bigger battery, lighter body
While the new Pro model grabs attention, the Galaxy S27 Ultra redesign could be just as significant. Leaks suggest Samsung is rethinking its camera hardware and layout, possibly dropping the dedicated 3x telephoto lens in favor of a triple‑camera array. This would reportedly enable a new horizontal camera bar stretching across the rear, a departure from the individually isolated lenses seen on recent Ultra phones. Under the hood, the Ultra is tipped to gain a larger battery while becoming lighter overall, with thickness staying close to current-generation Ultra devices. Reports also indicate Samsung may reuse similar display materials due to cost and manufacturing constraints, instead leaning more on software‑based optimizations. Camera rumors point to a shared system with the S27 Pro: a 200MP main sensor, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP 5x telephoto, which would tightly align Samsung’s top two S27 models.
How the S27, S27+ and S27 Pro could reshape Samsung’s flagship tiers
The standard Galaxy S27 and S27+ are expected to play familiar roles, but within a more finely tuned ladder of sizes and features. With a rumored 6.3‑inch screen, the S27 continues as the compact entry into Samsung’s flagship world, while the 6.7‑inch S27+ caters to users who prioritize a large display without needing every Ultra‑level extra. The new S27 Pro threads the needle between them and the Ultra, pairing a mid‑sized 6.47‑inch panel with Galaxy S27 Pro specs that allegedly mirror the Ultra’s chipset and camera setup. Strategically, this mirrors the broader market shift toward offering multiple premium tiers, similar to how some rivals split their Pro and Pro Max devices. For Samsung, the payoff could be a flagship stack where buyers choose primarily by size and S Pen preference, rather than having to compromise heavily on performance or imaging.
