Samsung Galaxy S27 Launch Slips to January Amid Memory Shortages
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S27 series in January 2027, earlier than the typical February window, though supply chain issues with LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage could delay the event. Leaked cases confirm a split design strategy: the base and Plus models retain the previous pill-shaped camera module, while the Pro and Ultra feature a new rectangular camera island. Pricing is expected to rise for the top-tier models due to memory costs, with the Ultra potentially costing $100 more than its predecessor. The lineup will feature a 200MP main camera on the Pro and Ultra, but the Ultra may drop the 3x telephoto lens. Some models may lose Ultra-Wideband support to accommodate the new Pro tier.
