Summary

  • Early 2027 is the target for Samsung’s Galaxy S27 series, with the Ultra expected to use Snapdragon chips worldwide rather than split processors by region.
  • Exynos 2700 is still tipped for most non-Ultra S27 models in many markets, while the U.S. and China would likely keep Snapdragon variants amid Exynos tuning and cost constraints.
  • Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra are also rumored to adopt a rectangular camera island, while the lineup expands to S27, Plus, Pro and Ultra models aimed at different price and feature tiers.
  • Samsung is separately preparing new foldable designs including a trifold device, extending its push beyond the Z Fold and Z Flip as it tries to hold its lead in premium smartphones.
