Samsung Galaxy S27 UK Release: Latest Leaks and Rumours
Samsung Galaxy S27: What to Expect from the Next Flagship
The Samsung Galaxy S27 series is expected to launch in early 2027, with a possible fourth phone in the line-up, the return of the Pro, and significant camera upgrades. The S27 Ultra’s main camera might feature a variable aperture and a new main sensor, making it a big upgrade over its predecessor.
The new Exynos 2700 chipset promises better performance, while the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro could vastly improve gaming. Samsung might also redesign the camera module for magnetic Qi2 charging, a feature that was missing from the S26 range.
With the S26 range still fresh in the market, the rumour mill is already churning out speculations about the S27 series. As more information becomes available, we’ll be updating this page to keep you informed about the latest developments.
The Galaxy S27 range is expected to have a minimum price of £879/$899, although it’s unlikely to be more expensive than the S26 series. The starting price for previous Samsung Galaxy handsets has been steadily increasing, with the S26 costing £80/$100 more than the S25.
Samsung’s next flagship range of phones will likely have big improvements for both Snapdragon and Exynos chipsets, making them more competitive in the market. The S27 Ultra’s camera set-up is expected to have a major overhaul, with a new main sensor and possibly a variable aperture.
The Samsung Galaxy S27 series will likely have a launch in early 2027, possibly in February or March, following the usual release schedule. As we move further from the S26 launch, we’ll get a better idea of what Samsung has in store for us.
The Galaxy S27 Pro could be a new addition to the series, sitting between the S27+ and the S27 Ultra. This could give consumers the option to enjoy Ultra-level specs without the S Pen, which is not for everyone.
Variable aperture and a new main sensor are expected to be part of the S27 Ultra’s camera upgrade. The feature previously allowed the S9 and S10 to flit between f/1.5 and f/2.4 apertures, depending on the scenario at hand.
The Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro is expected to have vastly superior LPDDR6 RAM alongside a larger 18MB cache for the GPU, paving the way for better sustained gaming performance. The Exynos 2700 chipset may use side-by-side architecture, which has the RAM and SoC laid out next to one another, optimizing heat dissipation.
Magnetic Qi2 charging could finally be on the way, with a redesign of the camera bump on the back of the S27 phones. This would make it easier to use certain accessories and create a more distinctive look for the S27 phones.
