Samsung Galaxy S27 series leaked design changes
The Galaxy S27 series is expected to debut in early 2027. The Galaxy S27 Pro appears shorter than the Galaxy S27+, with the former tipped to feature a 6.47-inch display and the latter a 6.66-inch screen. The Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to be the largest model, with a reported 6.89-inch display.
The Pro and Ultra models could feature a horizontal camera bar, while the standard and Plus variants may retain a vertical camera arrangement, according to a new leak shared by tipster Ice Universe. Samsung Galaxy S27 series is expected to bring major design and hardware changes. The upcoming flagship lineup may include four models: the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra. The premium models are also tipped to feature larger silicon-carbon batteries, upgraded OLED displays and support for magnetic accessories. Meanwhile, a separate report suggests Samsung has not yet finalised the hardware specifications for the Pro and Ultra models, which could affect its launch schedule. A leaked image shared by Ice Universe showing cases for the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra suggests that Samsung could introduce two distinct design approaches across the lineup. The Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ cases feature a tall, rounded cutout in the upper corner for a vertically arranged camera system. This design resembles the camera layout on the current Galaxy S26 series. By comparison, the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra cases feature a wide rectangular cutout across the upper rear panel. The leaked image also indicates the devices’ sizes.
The design matches earlier reports suggesting that Samsung is considering a horizontal camera bar for its more expensive smartphones.
