If it wasn’t for the Galaxy S26 series, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 series is almost confirmed to get a new member. Three unreleased Samsung devices have shown up in the GSMA IMEI database, and one of them is listed as the Galaxy S27 Pro.

The three model numbers are SM-S956U ( for Galaxy S27 Plus), SM-S957B/DS ( for Galaxy S27 Pro), and SM-S958U ( for Galaxy S27 Ultra). Meanwhile, the base Galaxy S27 has already appeared on the certification earlier this month. This confirms that Samsung will launch four phones under the Galaxy S27 series: the S27, S27 Plus, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra. Samsung may also release a Galaxy S27 FE later in 2027.

The Pro model will sit between the S27 Plus and the S27 Ultra. Samsung has used the Pro name before on devices like the Galaxy Note Pro, XCover6 Pro, J7 Pro, and even a keyboard phone called the Galaxy Pro back in 2010. However, this will be the first time a Pro model will join the main Galaxy S flagship series.

Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro Expected Specs

The Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to come with a 6.47-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x screen. It will not include an S Pen, though. For cameras, it could feature a 200MP main sensor, a 50MP ultra-wide with autofocus, and a 50MP telephoto with 3.5x optical zoom. The front camera is expected to be 12MP.

We covered earlier how the S27 Pro’s 50MP ALoP telephoto camera could produce better results than the Ultra in commonly used zoom ranges, more details in our earlier S27 Pro camera article.

On the inside, the phone is likely to run on a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro for Galaxy chip, with at least 12GB RAM, 256GB UFS 5.0 storage, a 5000mAh battery, and 45W or faster charging.

The S27 Pro is also said to include a hardware-level privacy screen, a feature previously limited to the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Samsung might end up expanding the Exynos 2700 chip to the Galaxy S27 Ultra next year. The company’s Mobile Business might be forced to end Snapdragon exclusivity from the top-tier flagship and expand in-house chipsets.

MX Division has a history of splitting Galaxy S chip supply between Exynos and Snapdragon. However, the widening gap between Exynos and Snapdragon has led the Galaxy S Ultra model to avoid the utilization of the in-house chip.

Samsung has significantly expanded Snapdragon in the Galaxy S22 series. The Galaxy S23 Ultra was the first to ship with Snapdragon globally. Since then, Qualcomm has been keeping the supply of the S Ultra model’s processor.

Galaxy S26 and S26+ launched with Exynos 2600, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra uses Snapdragon worldwide. Samsung is widely expected to keep the strategy unchanged and bring the Snapdragon-powered Galaxy S27 Ultra.

System LSI wants Exynos in next Galaxy S Ultra

Meanwhile, a new report from DigiTimes reveals an internal battle inside the Samsung group. The company’s System LSI Division is reportedly pressuring the mobile division to widen the use of Exynos 2700 processor.

System LSI wants Exynos 2700 to power the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Galaxy S27 Ultra. Utilization in the Fold 8 is difficult now as the phone is on the verge of unveiling. Meanwhile, it can be considered for the Galaxy S27 Ultra.

Samsung’s System LSI designs Exynos chips, and Samsung Foundry handles the manufacturing work. The desire for the Galaxy S27 Ultra is driven by the sales stats of the model, which alone sells higher than the others combined.

Well, the ball is in the MX Division’s court on whether to use Exynos in S27 Ultra. It will be Samsung’s second in-house chip built on a 2nm process.
