Galaxy S27 Pro Leaks Point to 6.5-Inch Screen and 200MP Camera
Samsung's rumored Galaxy S27 Pro would sit between the Plus and Ultra with a 6.5-inch screen and 200MP camera. Here are the leaked specs, battery and charging.
Samsung is expected to add a fourth model to its next flagship lineup, the Galaxy S27 Pro, according to a roundup of leaks by Tom’s Guide. The phone would slot between the S27 Plus and the S27 Ultra, with some Ultra hardware, including the same 200MP main camera, at a lower price than the Ultra.
None of this is confirmed by Samsung. The details come from rumors and database leaks, and the outlet says much about the phone is still unknown, including its price.
A 6.5-inch screen between the base model and the Plus
The S27 Pro is rumored to have a 6.5-inch display. That would put it between the 6.3-inch Galaxy S27 and the 6.7-inch S27 Plus, so the lineup would cover a wider spread of screen sizes.
Samsung is also expected to bring its Privacy Display to the Pro. The feature makes it harder for people nearby to read your screen, and until now buyers have needed the Ultra to get it. Tom’s Guide reports the phone may use a brighter M16 OLED panel, with an added feature to offset the way the Privacy Display dims the screen even when it is switched off.
Leaked chip, memory and storage
Leaks say the Ultra will get Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, while the Pro will use the regular Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. That chip follows the Gen 5 found in most current flagship Android phones. Beyond being less powerful than the Extreme version, little is known about it.
Storage options are listed as 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, with 12GB or 16GB of RAM. According to Tom’s Guide, Samsung is one of several phone makers keeping 16GB of RAM for models with at least 1TB of storage because memory costs have climbed. Smaller storage versions would therefore ship with 12GB, which leaves less headroom for AI features that run on the phone itself.
Cameras shared with the Ultra
Like the rest of the S27 series, the Pro is expected to have three rear cameras. Database leaks cited by the outlet list a 200MP main sensor matching the Ultra, a 50MP ultrawide and a 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. The 16MP selfie camera would reportedly be the same as the Ultra’s.
Earlier rumors mentioned a 12MP telephoto, or a 50MP one with 3.5x zoom. Tom’s Guide expects Samsung to reuse the secondary telephoto from the S26 Ultra instead, which keeps the Pro a step below the Ultra.
Battery, charging and Qi2
Samsung is rumored to use silicon carbon batteries across the S27 series, as it did with the Z Fold 8. These cells pack more energy into the same space. The S27 Pro is said to have a 5,200 mAh battery, 200mAh more than the Galaxy S26 Ultra, despite its smaller screen.
Wired charging is expected to reach 60W, with 25W wireless charging. Rumors also say the Pro and Ultra will be the only S27 models with full Qi2 magnetic charging built in, so magnetic chargers and accessories would attach without a special case.
What it means for buyers
If the leaks hold, people who want the Ultra’s main camera and privacy screen in a smaller phone would no longer have to buy the largest and most expensive model. Tom’s Guide adds that the S27 series is expected to cost more than the S26 lineup, which makes the Pro’s price against the Plus and Ultra the open question.
Software details are thin. The phone is assumed to run One UI 9.5, which is in early development, with Galaxy AI features. Samsung usually reveals new phones at its Galaxy Unpacked event, and the outlet expects more details to leak before January.
