Samsung is planning to introduce four models for the Galaxy S27 series, with reports indicating it will allocate more than 70% of its total production to the higher-end Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra models.
The company is preparing for an early 2027 launch, with the new Galaxy S27 Pro model expected to offer premium features, such as the Privacy Display, without the inclusion of an S Pen.
Galaxy S27 Series Camera Hardware Breakdown
Leaked sensor details show that the standard Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus will rely on camera hardware nearly identical to their predecessors. On the ultrawide front, both phones retain the 12MP IMX564 sensor, alongside a 10MP 3x telephoto camera.
In contrast, the new Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra are reported to feature a 200MP main camera driven by the Samsung ISOCELL HP6 sensor and a 50MP ultrawide shooter. However, the telephoto setup brings mixed changes; the Ultra offers a 50MP 5x camera while the Pro retains the 10MP ISOCELL S5K3LD 3x shooter previously seen on the S26 Ultra.
| Model | Main Camera | Ultrawide Camera | Telephoto Camera | Selfie Camera |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S27 | 50MP (Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG) | 12MP (Sony IMX564) | 10MP 3x (Samsung S5K3K1) | 12MP (Samsung S5K3LU or Sony IMX874) |
| Galaxy S27 Plus | 50MP (Sony IMX955 or Samsung S5KGNG) | 12MP (Sony IMX564) | 10MP 3x (Samsung S5K3K1) | 12MP (Samsung S5K3LU or Sony IMX874) |
| Galaxy S27 Pro | 200MP (Samsung ISOCELL HP6) | 50MP (ISOCELL JN3 or IMX855) | 10MP 3x (ISOCELL S5K3LD) | 16MP (Samsung S5K2P5) |
| Galaxy S27 Ultra | 200MP (Samsung ISOCELL HP6) | 50MP (ISOCELL JN3 or IMX855) | 50MP 5x (IMX855 or S5KJN3) | 16MP (Samsung S5K2P5) |
Production Volume Shifts Toward Premium Models
Samsung is allocating more than 70% of its total Galaxy S27 production to the higher-end variants. Out of a targeted 35 million units across the entire lineup, the Galaxy S27 Ultra alone will account for approximately 18 million units. Meanwhile, the newly introduced Galaxy S27 Pro is slated for a production run of 7 to 8 million units.
This combined production of 25 to 26 million premium units leaves just 9 to 10 million units for the standard Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus. By comparison, Samsung produced around 18 million units of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which accounted for roughly half of that year’s total series production. The company expects the Pro model to attract buyers who would otherwise select base or Plus configurations.
Snapdragon Chipset Allocation Across International Variants
Import-export records on the trade data platform NBD have revealed the processor distribution for the European variants of all four models. The baseline Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus are listed with Samsung’s Exynos 2700 chip, carrying model numbers SM-S952B/DS and SM-S956B/DS.
Dummy Unit Design and Dimensions
The device’s redesigned camera island features one fewer lens than the S26 Ultra. While the aesthetic may remind some observers of the Apple iPhone 18 Pro, the design leaves room for magnets, potentially supporting MagSafe-style accessories. The new configuration may also reduce wobbling when the phone is placed on flat surfaces, though the shift means the phone is not compatible with Galaxy S26 Ultra cases.
