Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra to receive three major upgrades, launch with compact S27 Pro

According to a new report on Naver the Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro uses a display with a diagonal of 6.4 inches, which would make the flagship smartphone almost as compact as the Apple iPhone 17 Pro. If this information is correct, Samsung would follow the example of Apple and offer two compact models at different price points with the Galaxy S27 and the Galaxy S27 Pro.

Compared to the Galaxy S26, the Galaxy S27 Pro is said to offer a new camera sensor, a larger battery and a thinner body. According to earlier rumors the compact flagship also inherits the privacy display of the Galaxy S26 Ultra ($1,049 on Amazon) to make sensitive screen content unrecognizable for people standing nearby, and will also be shipped worldwide with a Qualcomm Snapdragon instead of a Samsung Exynos chip, unlike the cheaper Galaxy S27. The Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra, on the other hand, is set to receive at least three significant upgrades. Firstly, Samsung is reportedly giving the flagship smartphone a revised design with a new camera module.

Secondly, the cameras are to be modernized - rumors have been pointing to a 200 megapixel main camera with a new sensor and variable aperture, while the 10 MP telephoto camera with triple zoom is to be replaced by digital zoom. And thirdly, Samsung is reportedly installing a much larger battery instead of the 5,000 mAh battery of the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra is said to be lighter than its 214 gram predecessor, but remain almost exactly the same thickness.
