Samsung’s next flagship line-up, the Galaxy S27 series, is taking shape ahead of its expected launch in early 2027. The standard Galaxy S27 has now received certification from India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), a fresh report has revealed how many units of each model Samsung plans to make, and new leaks suggest the series could bring 200MP cameras, magnetic charging and an all-new Pro model.
Here is everything that has been reported about the Samsung Galaxy S27 series so far.
Galaxy S27 Gets BIS Certification in India
The standard Galaxy S27 has been spotted on the BIS website with the model number SM-S952B/DS. The “DS” at the end stands for dual SIM, which confirms that the Indian variant will support two SIM cards. BIS approval usually means a launch in India is not far away.
The phone is expected to be powered by Samsung’s own Exynos 2700 chipset, built on a 2nm process. As in previous years, Samsung is likely to use Exynos chips in some regions and Qualcomm Snapdragon chips in others. An earlier listing linked the same model number to a 6.3-inch display, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, while certification filings in China point to 25W wired charging for the base model.
Galaxy S27 Pro: A New Model Joins the Line-Up
The biggest change this year is the addition of a Galaxy S27 Pro, which will sit between the S27+ and the S27 Ultra. As per leaks, the Pro is essentially a smaller version of the Ultra without the S Pen.
| Leaked spec | Galaxy S27 Pro |
|---|---|
| Display | Around 6.6 inches |
| Processor | Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro (Exynos 2700 in some regions) |
| Main camera | 200MP |
| Ultra-wide camera | 50MP |
| Telephoto camera | 12MP with 3x optical zoom |
| RAM | 12GB (16GB possible on the top variant) |
| Battery | 5,200mAh |
| Size | 154.06 x 73.77 x 7.95 mm |
The Pro is said to share the 200MP main camera and 50MP ultra-wide lens with the S27 Ultra, along with the Ultra’s new wide camera island design. However, it is tipped to get a 12MP telephoto camera with 3x zoom instead of the Ultra’s higher zoom. Reports suggest Samsung is cutting costs on the Pro because of the sharp rise in memory chip prices.

Magnetic Charging Could Finally Arrive
The Galaxy S27 series is also tipped to bring built-in magnets for Qi2 magnetic wireless charging, a feature that Apple and Google already offer on their flagship phones. This would allow users to snap on magnetic chargers and accessories without needing a special case.
Samsung had reportedly considered adding magnets to the Galaxy S26 but dropped the idea. An earlier report from Korea said the S27’s camera layout may be redesigned to make room for the magnets, though it also warned that cost concerns could push the feature to a later model. Samsung has not confirmed it yet.
Samsung Plans to Make 35 Million Galaxy S27 Units
A report from South Korea’s ETNews has revealed Samsung’s production plans for the series, and the Ultra and Pro models make up most of the target.
| Model | Estimated production |
|---|---|
| Galaxy S27 Ultra | 18 million units |
| Galaxy S27 Pro | 7 to 8 million units |
| Galaxy S27 and S27+ (combined) | 9 to 10 million units |
| Total | Around 35 million units |
The Ultra alone accounts for more than half of the planned production, while the Pro and Ultra together make up over 70%. Interestingly, Samsung plans to make almost as many units of the new S27 Pro as the regular S27 and S27+ combined, which shows how confident the company is about the new model.
The cautious overall target comes as analysts expect smartphone sales to slow down next year due to rising component costs, especially memory chips, which have already pushed up phone prices.
Galaxy S27 Launch Date and Price
Samsung usually unveils its Galaxy S series at a Galaxy Unpacked event in January or February, and the S27 series is expected to follow the same schedule in early 2027. The company has not announced a date yet.
Prices have not been revealed either. Reports suggest Samsung is trying to keep prices close to the Galaxy S26 series by cutting costs in some areas, though higher memory prices could still lead to a price hike in some markets.
Note: Specifications and details are based on leaks, certification listings and reports, and are not officially confirmed by Samsung.
