New Galaxy S27 leaks suggest Samsung is abandoning the cohesive design language that unified its Galaxy S lineup, leaving the base model looking nothing like the Galaxy S27 Ultra. Official-looking render images have surfaced online, offering a detailed view of the standard model from every angle.
The most notable takeaway is the visual gap between the two phones. While the Galaxy S27 Ultra recently leaked with a bold new camera setup, the base Galaxy S27 appears to carry forward a design that Samsung has kept nearly untouched for several generations.
A Familiar Look for the Base Model
According to the leak, the Galaxy S27 will feature nearly identical dimensions and design to the Galaxy S26, differing only by a fraction of a millimeter in each direction. It is expected to bring back a 6.3-inch display for users who prefer the smaller model in Samsung’s Galaxy S family.
This continuity is striking given how little the more affordable models have changed since the Galaxy S23. Even the reported Galaxy S26 Edge, once positioned as a middle-ground option, was reportedly shelved in favor of the same design seen in these latest renders.
The Ultra Goes a Different Direction
The Galaxy S27 Ultra takes a very different approach with a redesigned camera layout reminiscent of the iPhone 17 Pro. The camera plateau expands the usual lens island to span the entire rear width of the phone. The shift could support Qi2.2 or reduce wobble when the device rests face-up, though buyers should not expect built-in Qi2 magnets.
Open Questions on Specs and Pricing
Several details remain unconfirmed. Samsung has not revealed whether the Galaxy S27 will run a top-tier Snapdragon chip or the company’s own silicon. Storage configurations are also unknown for now.
With RAM prices continuing to climb, there is a possibility of a price increase paired with reduced RAM. Previous reports have pointed to a potential price hike for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, and the same outcome is plausible for the standard model. The Galaxy S27 is expected to launch at the beginning of next year.
