Samsung's brand-new addition to the "S" flagship lineup, the Galaxy S27 Pro will feature a 6.47-inch display, says top insider. This would position it as a smaller alternative to the Galaxy S27 Ultra (without S Pen support). Despite a distant February 2027 release window, Samsung's smaller flagship will compete with Apple's iPhone 18 Pro and Google's redesigned Pixel 11 Pro.

Expected to join the upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra as a smaller variant of Samsung's largest flagship, a top Samsung tipster has now revealed that the brand-new Galaxy S27 Pro model will have a 6.47-inch display.

Emulating Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, which (per tradition) should launch in two sizes, the Galaxy S27 Pro's display size will measure nearly 6.5-inches, which might be a decent compromise for those who want a large screen that’s still somewhat usable with one hand.

Galaxy S27 series expected display sizes: 6.47-inch Galaxy S27 Pro to join Samsung's 2027 lineup in iPhone-like shift

  • Galaxy S27: 6.3-inches (unchanged)
  • Galaxy S27 Plus: 6.7-inches (unchanged)
  • Galaxy S27 Pro: 6.5-inches (new model)
  • Galaxy S27 Ultra: 6.9-inches (unchanged)

iPhone 18 series expected display sizes:

  • iPhone 18: 6.3-inches
  • iPhone Air 2: 6.5-inches
  • iPhone 18 Pro: 6.3-inches
  • iPhone 18 Pro Max: 6.9-inches

Of course, we are still a long way from the official launch of the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra, which are expected to drop no earlier than February 2027. Rumored upgrades include a redesigned camera layout, and three (not four) cameras on the back, reportedly, waving goodbye to the tiny 3x optical zoom sensor from the Galaxy S26 Ultra.

Still, early leaks about Samsung's next flagship lineup are highly relevant, especially with the approaching launch of the Pixel 11 Pro series (rumored to feature a brand-new "Pixel Glow" design) and, of course, the iPhone 18 Pro, which is expected to bring a variable aperture camera and its first major front-panel redesign in four years.

On the other hand, the Galaxy S27 Pro is going to be Samsung’s first major shake-up to the flagship lineup since the launch of the Galaxy S20 Ultra and the retired Galaxy Note series (or at least the name).
