The 5,000mAh capacity maintained on not just the Galaxy S26 Ultra but its predecessors has been the subject of incessant criticism, especially when Chinese competitors have adopted silicon-carbon technology, where capacities can now reach 10,000mAh. Fortunately, Samsung is rumored to address these complaints and more with the Galaxy S27 Ultra launch, with a new rumor stating that we’ll finally witness a battery upgrade along with another change.
New design change for the Galaxy S27 Ultra includes a rear camera layout shift, along with a weight reduction while increasing the battery capacity
The exact capacity wasn’t mentioned in yeux1122’s blog, but a major reason why Samsung could bring a battery upgrade to the Galaxy S27 Ultra is the design change at the back. The rear camera configuration may drop the 3x telephoto unit, as it’s a less capable sensor for flagship-level photography and videography, freeing up significant internal space in Samsung’s upcoming premium offering.
Additionally, the Korean giant is expected to achieve another feat while introducing a battery upgrade and that’s reducing the overall weight. Due to the space created by removing one rear camera, Samsung could experiment with shedding a few millimeters, but there’s no update on whether the company will embrace silicon-carbon technology next year.
Aside from the changes to the Galaxy S27 Ultra, the rumor also discusses minor specification details surrounding the Galaxy S27 Pro. Similar to Apple’s launch strategy, Samsung may also switch its approach for 2027, introducing four models instead of three, with one of them sporting the ‘Pro’ moniker.
Similar to the Galaxy S27 Ultra, the Galaxy S27 Pro is rumored to feature a camera upgrade, increased battery, and reduced thickness to make it more appealing to those wanting features similar to Samsung’s top-end smartphone, but without spending a premium on it. It’s possible the rumor has materialized from early iterations of Samsung’s prototypes, but since it’s too early to comment on these specifications, we recommend readers treat these details with a pinch of salt for now.
