Samsung's Galaxy S27 lineup for next year is apparently getting a new member, dubbed the Galaxy S27 Pro. The tantalizing new variant is expected to sport Ultra-level specs, albeit packaged within a more handy form factor, in what is nothing short of a hefty nod to Apple's typical iPhone Pro duo-related strategy.
Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to debut with a 6.47-inch display vs. a 6.9-inch one on the S26 Ultra, while sporting almost all Ultra-class specs
According to ET News, Samsung is working on four Galaxy S27 models, with the Pro variant constituting a new addition.
As per the details, the Galaxy S27 Pro is likely to sport a 6.47-inch OLED screen, which means the new model's display will be just a tad bigger than the 6.3-inch one on the base Galaxy S26. Also, the Pro variant is likely to be around 6 percent smaller than its Ultra counterpart, provided Samsung retains the dimensions of the Galaxy S26 Ultra for its next-gen apex model.
Elsewhere, the Galaxy S26 Pro is expected to eschew the S Pen that has become a staple of Samsung's Ultra models. Even so, it is expected to maintain parity with the S27 Ultra on most specs.
Of course, by introducing a dedicated Pro variant within its flagship S-class smartphones, Samsung appears to be borrowing heavily from Apple's strategy for its iPhone lineup, where the Pro and Pro Max variants differ only in physical size and battery capacity.
Also, the introduction of the Galaxy S27 Pro would help streamline Samsung's S-series pricing strategy, which appears to have become somewhat disjointed of late.
Consider the fact that the Galaxy S26+ currently commands a premium of $100 over the base S26 despite offering nothing more than a bigger display and a larger battery. The Galaxy S27 Pro can allow Samsung to reduce the premium charged for the Plus variant, thereby increasing its uptake, while still creating the requisite fiscal space to increase the base price of the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
