What you need to know
- Another round of rumors about the Galaxy S27 Pro suggests that Samsung could integrate a 6.4-inch screen for this model.
- Other rumors suggest it could capture the Ultra’s main and ultra-wide cameras, but its telephoto lens could differ.
- Rumors about the Galaxy S27 Pro began in April and the device still seems poised to serve as an Ultra alternative.
Some people are probably still mulling over the Galaxy S26 series, but that doesn’t stop these Galaxy S27 rumors from talking about a “Pro” addition.
a report of ETNews (Korean) claims Samsung is working on a Galaxy S27 “Pro” for next year’s lineup and details its OLED display (via 9to5Google). This rumor suggests that Samsung is working on a display that it has “never tried before.” While this wording seems great, the report says it could be reduced to screen size.
The Galaxy S27 Pro is supposedly being developed with a 6.4-inch OLED panel. If true, then it would be right between the base model and the Plus; However, that could be its only relationship to those two phones. The publication cites its sources in saying that the Galaxy S27 Pro could “share” more specifications with the Ultra. What’s more, he claims that Samsung could follow this path to “expand consumer options.” On a related note, there was another S27 Pro report that highlighted his camera (via GSMArena).
Ice Universe was on Chinese social media platform Weibo, claiming that the S27 Pro could feature “the same” main and ultra-wide cameras as the Ultra. What’s more, the company could change things up by integrating “completely new sensors” for those lenses. The only outlier the tipster commented on was the telephoto lens, as the S27 Pro could differ in this regard.
Is the Pro real this time?
Us started to get Rumors about the Galaxy S27 Pro back in April, and we’re not sure if this is another example of the boy who cried wolf. Rumors suggest that the S27 series will consist of four phones. The fourth is the S27 Pro. As in a statement from EtNews, those rumors also said that the Pro would bring “ultra-similar features”, but without the S Pen for a compact design.
What has us a little undecided is that we hear “Pro” rumors also for Galaxy S26 series. A phone like that wasn’t in Samsung’s January Unpacked, so those rumors have revved their engines again for the S27 series. It’s only May and the Galaxy S27 series isn’t expected until early 2027 anyway. We have time to see if these rumors have any merit.
Android Central’s opinion
Listening to “Pro” on a phone seems a bit normal. Samsung doesn’t have a Pro model (it’s obvious). We are usually treated to a base phone, a Plus and an Ultra. While these new rumors give us an idea of what it could bring, it seems that Samsung could try to follow some lines. A smaller screen for consumers who don’t like an Ultra level screen, but with internal parts that give a little more. Things are interesting right now.
