Exynos Galaxy S27 Pro to come with one exclusive advantage over its Snapdragon counterpart

If the tip from Meeco user 흡혈귀왕 (Vampire King) is right, Samsung's chipset split for the Galaxy S27 series will differ between South Korea and Europe. In a post dated November 6, the leaker lists the Korean Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+ and Galaxy S27 Pro as using an Exynos chip, leaving the Galaxy S27 Ultra as the only Snapdragon model. The allocation was reportedly checked the week before and has not changed. The leaker attributes this to Samsung headquarters not wanting to exceed the project's budget.

The European lineup looks different. Europe's SM-S957B/DS (Galaxy S27 Pro) shows up with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 in the NBD trade records we covered earlier, and the Exynos 2700 is confined to the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ there. 

The same post claims Samsung plans to offer LPDDR6 only on the 1 TB Galaxy S27 Pro. A follow-up from November 12 adds that this variant combines 1 TB of UFS 5.0 storage with 16 GB of LPDDR6 RAM instead of 12 GB. This would make LPDDR6 exclusive to the Exynos variant of the Galaxy S27 Pro, since Qualcomm reserves LPDDR6 for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, with the standard Gen 6 limited to LPDDR5X. The Snapdragon-powered Pro sold in Europe would therefore stay on LPDDR5X regardless of storage tier. 

Samsung has not set a launch date, and current projections place Unpacked in January or February 2027. Pricing for the upcoming phones remains unannounced. The Meeco posts are unverified, and configurations can change before launch.
