Qualcomm confirms Samsung’s Galaxy S27 lineup will again use a dual-SoC strategy in 2027, introducing a fourth model (S27 Pro). The S27 and S27 Plus will use Snapdragon or Exynos depending on region, while the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra are expected to use Snapdragon worldwide, with Qualcomm citing a plan to power more than 70% of S27 units with Snapdragon.
Leaked AI concept renders of the Galaxy S27 Ultra hint at a redesign of the rear with built‑in magnets and a horizontal camera island, a look reminiscent of Pixel phones. Fans are split: some like the cleaner design and less wobble, while others feel it borrows too much from competitors and could dilute Samsung’s identity. Samsung has not officially confirmed any redesign yet, with the claims coming from credible leaks like Ice Universe and Sawyer Galox.
A supply-chain rumor suggests the Galaxy S27 could shift its rear camera layout to free space for internal Qi2 magnets, enabling MagSafe-style accessories. While the Galaxy S26 already supports Qi2.2 magnetic cases, internal magnets would be a more significant design change and could be delayed or canceled due to rising costs; there may also be unspecified camera hardware upgrades, but nothing is confirmed.
Rumors say Samsung’s Galaxy S27 could use UFS 5.0 storage on select models (likely S27 Pro/Ultra), while base S27 remains 128GB and others may stick with UFS 4.0/4.1; UFS 5.0 would reach up to 10.8GB/s read/write, roughly double UFS 4.0, but cost may limit availability to higher-end variants.
Rumors claim Samsung’s 2nm GAA process could be used to develop a custom-tuned Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro for the Galaxy S27, a move meant to attract Qualcomm while potentially limiting Exynos adoption. chatter about a dual-foundry approach suggests the Gen 6 Pro could run on Samsung’s 2nm while the standard Gen 6 remains with a competitor; analysts urge caution and treat the rumors as unconfirmed until official details emerge.
