TL; DR
- Samsung is reportedly adding a new Galaxy S27 Pro model to the 2027 lineup.
- It is expected to bring Ultra-level specs but without S Pen support.
- The S27 series could include four models: S27, S27+, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra.
Samsung is expected to expand its Galaxy S lineup in 2027 with the addition of a new Galaxy S27 Pro model. Reports from ET News and information shared by Ice Universe suggest that the S27 series will include four devices: Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra.
The S27 Pro is being described as a device that carries most of the Ultra’s hardware but removes the built-in S Pen. This means it would sit between the Plus and Ultra models, offering a similar overall experience to the Ultra while skipping the stylus and the internal components required for it.
This change gives Samsung more flexibility with internal design. Without the S Pen slot and digitizer, the company can use that space differently. This could allow adjustments in battery size, cooling systems, or camera hardware. It also gives Samsung a way to offer a high-end device for users who do not use the S Pen but still want top-tier specifications.
The expected lineup structure is straightforward. The Galaxy S27 and S27+ continue as standard flagship options. The S27 Pro steps in as a premium model close to the Ultra. The S27 Ultra remains the only model with full S Pen support.
There are also ongoing discussions around Samsung testing alternative S Pen technologies that may not require a dedicated digitizer layer. These changes are not expected to arrive with the S27 series, which makes the Pro model a simpler approach for now.
The Galaxy S27 series is still expected to launch in early 2027, so details may change over time.
