Samsung Galaxy S27 leaks hint at five models and camera changes
Samsung's next flagship phone family is expected to arrive in early 2027, with rumors pointing to as many as five devices, including Pro and Edge versions. Reported changes include a possible return of variable aperture, a larger battery for the Ultra, and a possible switch to Exynos for that model. Other speculation covers Qi2 magnetic charging and a Privacy Display limited to certain variants.
Samsung’s Galaxy S26 family arrived only recently, yet attention has already shifted to its successor. The S27 line is tipped for an early 2027 debut, possibly February or March, which would restore a familiar launch rhythm after the S26’s later February reveal and March release. Rumored variants include Pro and Edge models, potentially bringing the total to five.
Camera and battery speculation is prominent: variable aperture may return, the Ultra’s main sensor could improve, and its 3x telephoto may disappear. A larger Ultra battery, better Snapdragon and Exynos chips, possible Exynos use in the Ultra, Qi2 magnetic charging, Privacy Display, and an iPhone 17-style selfie camera are also mentioned. Pricing may start around £879/$899.
Consumers weighing an upgrade could be affected most, especially photographers, travelers, and mobile workers drawn to camera, battery, charging, and privacy changes. If Samsung returns to an earlier launch window, carriers and retailers may adjust promotions and trade-in plans. Regional chip choices could shape performance expectations, while higher pricing may make value comparisons more important. The rumors may also influence whether buyers skip the S26 generation or wait for the S27.
