Samsung recently revealed the Galaxy S26 series on February 25. However, a new leak has emerged about the upcoming Galaxy S27 lineup expected to launch next year. Reports indicate that the S27 series might consist of four models, including a Pro version.
The rumored S27 Pro is speculated to offer features similar to the Ultra model but without S Pen support. This move is believed to provide more options for consumers and respond to Apple’s strategy of offering standard variants like the base and Air, along with premium Pro and Pro Max models.
Samsung, the South Korean tech giant, introduced the Galaxy S20 series in 2020, following a consistent three-tier flagship approach with Standard, Plus, and Ultra models. Yet, rumors now suggest a shift to a four-tier lineup with the addition of a Pro variant. If accurate, the Galaxy S27 series would comprise the Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra models.
According to Ice Universe, a privacy display feature that garnered attention on the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to expand to two models in the upcoming generation, possibly including the newly added model.
In the past, Samsung experimented with introducing new variants to its flagship lineup, such as the Galaxy S25 Edge, which featured a slimmer design and was launched shortly after the S25 series. However, the Edge model, initially considered a potential Plus variant replacement, did not continue in the latest flagship lineup, likely due to market response. The latest speculation suggests that the Galaxy S27 Pro aims to complement, rather than replace, existing models and may introduce unique features setting it apart from the standard and Plus models.
