Samsung Adds 4th Galaxy S27 Model With New Pro Variant for Q1 2027

Q: Will the mysterious Galaxy S27 Pro debut as a compact powerhouse or a massive 6.9-inch giant when it launches in early 2027?

It is more likely to debut as a compact flagship than as a 6.9-inch giant. The strongest and more consistent reporting around the Galaxy S27 Pro points to a display of about 6.47 inches. ETNews, SamMobile and several follow-up leak reports all describe the phone as a smaller “Ultra-like” model meant for buyers who want top-tier specs without the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s size or S Pen. That would make the Pro smaller than the expected S27+ and Ultra, not larger. The 6.9-inch figure appears in broader rumor roundups that describe Samsung testing a larger panel or repeating the Ultra-style design language, but that size is more commonly tied to the Ultra itself. Those reports are less specific and conflict with the repeated “compact Pro” narrative coming from Korean supply-chain reporting and multiple secondary sources. If the current leaks hold, Samsung’s strategy seems clear: the S27+ remains the mainstream large-screen option, the Ultra stays the biggest and most feature-packed model, and the new Pro becomes a more manageable premium tier with near-Ultra performance and camera hardware. Reported specs such as a 200MP main camera, 12GB RAM, LTPO OLED panel, and possible Privacy Display support all fit that positioning. Nothing is confirmed yet, and screen size remains one of the unresolved details. But based on the weight of the reporting so far, the Galaxy S27 Pro looks set to arrive in early 2027 as a smaller powerhouse around 6.47 inches, not a 6.9-inch giant.

Q1 2027 is when Samsung is expected to unveil the Galaxy S27 Pro alongside the S27, S27+ and S27 Ultra, expanding its flagship lineup from three models to four.
The new Pro is positioned between the Plus and Ultra on price and features, targeting buyers who want more than the S27+ without the Ultra’s full package or S Pen support.
12GB of RAM is rumored for the phone, with 256GB and 512GB storage options, a likely 200-megapixel main camera, a 12-megapixel 3x telephoto lens and a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera.
Two chip versions are tipped—Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro in the US and Exynos 2700 in Europe—while the display is expected to be a large LTPO OLED panel with up to 120Hz refresh rate.
No design leak has surfaced yet, but the wider S27 range is already rumored to get a price increase over the Galaxy S26 series as component costs keep rising.
