Leaks suggest the Galaxy S27 Pro may not match the S27 Ultra, with a region-specific chipset (US Snapdragon) and camera specs likely closer to the S27/S25 Edge, signaling cost-cutting and a less ambitious flagship ahead of an early-2027 launch.
Rumors claim Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Ultra and S27 Pro will upgrade the front-facing camera to 16MP, while the back cameras are expected to feature a 200MP primary sensor plus 50MP ultrawide and 50MP telephoto sensors; the vanilla S27 may keep a 12MP selfie cam, and the Ultra could drop one rear camera to a triple-sensor setup, potentially widening the price gap within the lineup as a meaningful upgrade over the S26.
Leaks suggest the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra will upgrade the front camera from 12MP to 16MP, potentially using a square sensor for center-stage-like selfie functionality; it’s unclear if the same upgrade will arrive on the S27 and S27 Plus, while Samsung is expected to keep its in-house displays for the line.
Samsung is reportedly preparing four Galaxy S27 phones for next year, with the Galaxy S27 Pro officially identified by GSMA listings alongside the S27+ and S27 Ultra. The S27 Pro is expected to feature a compact 6.47-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display, possibly omit the S Pen, and pack a 200MP main camera, a 50MP ultrawide, and a 50MP telephoto with 3.5x zoom. Power likely comes from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, with 12GB+ RAM, 256GB+ storage, and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W charging.
Leaks suggest Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Pro will be a smaller, S27 Ultra-like flagship without an S Pen, potentially adopting the S26 Ultra’s Privacy Display to obscure the screen from side views. Expected specs include a 6.5-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X with QHD+ resolution and 1Hz–120Hz VRR, a 200MP main camera plus 50MP ultrawide and 50MP telephoto (3.5x), Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro, 12GB+ RAM, 256GB storage, IP68, stereo speakers, and a 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired and 20W wireless charging, plus One UI 9.5 and seven years of updates. The Privacy Display feature may reach the S27 Pro early next year, with the S Pen omitted to free space for a larger battery.
A fresh rumor suggests the Galaxy S27 Pro could edge out the S27 Ultra by offering a 5,000mAh battery (similar to the S26 Ultra), a smaller 6.5-inch footprint, and possibly dropping the S Pen to keep costs down, potentially delivering strong runtimes and better value for buyers who don’t want the iPhone 18. While this could blur the line between the S27 Pro and the Ultra/Plus variants, the claims are unverified and should be treated as speculative.
The Galaxy S27 Pro is rumored to closely mirror the S27 Ultra’s cameras (200MP main, 50MP ultrawide) but with a key telephoto difference: Pro reportedly uses a 50MP ALoP lens with ~3.5x optical zoom, while Ultra is expected to offer ~5x zoom and may drop a 3x telephoto entirely. The leaks come from yeux1122’s blog and are considered plausible but unconfirmed, suggesting the Pro could be a premium, near-identical alternative rather than a big upgrade.
Early rumors peg the Galaxy S27 Pro as a 6.4-inch OLED device that sits between the base S27 and the Ultra, potentially borrowing the Ultra’s main and ultrawide cameras while offering a different telephoto. Reports from ETNews and other leakers suggest “Ultra-like” features to broaden choices, but specifics aren’t confirmed and the lineup’s timing remains unclear, with a possible early-2027 release.
Leak claims the Galaxy S27 Pro will have a 6.47-inch OLED display and share many Ultra-level features with the Galaxy S27 Ultra, including the next-gen Snapdragon processor and Privacy Display tech, while omitting the S Pen. The rumored camera setup includes a 200MP main sensor, 50MP ultrawide, and 50MP telephoto with 5x zoom, with battery details still undisclosed.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra is rumored to gain a larger battery, lighter body, and a redesigned camera layout (potentially dropping the 3x telephoto), while Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to be a smaller, thinner flagship with a 6.4-inch display and trimmed specs at a lower price, making the Pro a strong challenger even as the Ultra upgrades roll out.
