Summary
A rumored 5,700 mAh silicon-carbon battery would give the Galaxy S27 Ultra its first capacity increase since the S20 Ultra, according to leaks from The Galox and TechDroider.
Samsung has already adopted silicon-carbon cells in the Galaxy Z Fold 8 line, where the Fold 8 Ultra rose to 5,000 mAh from 4,400 mAh, reinforcing expectations the technology could reach the S27 series.
Camera leaks are more mixed: Ice Universe said the S27 Ultra may drop the 10MP telephoto and keep no second telephoto camera, a potential downgrade from the current four-camera rear setup.
Qualcomm's planned Snapdragon price increases also point to a higher S27 Ultra price than the S26 Ultra's $1,299 starting level, with memory supply constraints cited as the main driver.
Taken together, the leaks suggest Samsung's 2027 flagship could trade a bigger battery and thinner camera module for fewer zoom options and a steeper price.
