Galaxy S27 Ultra's Little Brother Is Official: S27 Pro

Quick summary: Official-looking Galaxy S27 Pro renders have leaked, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: a smaller sibling of the Galaxy S27 Ultra with the same new camera design and nearly all of the same specs.

Reported specs

• Display: 6.6 inches. I’d also heard 6.5 and 6.47.
• Dimensions: 154 x 73 x 7.95mm, about 9mm shorter and 5mm narrower than the Ultra.
• Back: a flat back that eliminates camera wobble and makes room for magnetic charging and a larger vapor chamber.
• Chip: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Extreme, with a possible Exynos 2700 in some markets.
• RAM: 12GB, or 16GB with 1TB of storage.
• Battery: 5,200mAh silicon-carbon, more than the S26 Ultra in a smaller phone.
• Cameras: 200MP main and 50MP ultra-wide, with a 12MP 3x telephoto instead of the Ultra’s 5x.

It should be announced around February or March 2027.

Why it could be the big story

I think the Pro will be this generation’s breakout, the way the wide Z Fold 8 was for foldables. People will finally get a small flagship from Samsung, like they already can from Apple and Pixel. It’ll be lighter and easier to hold, with magnets for wireless charging and grips.

If I used these phones every day, I’d pick the Ultra for its bigger display. As a content creator, the S27 Pro intrigues me the most of the S27 lineup.
