Samsung's Rumored Galaxy S27 Pro Leaks in Renders: A Smaller Ultra Without the S Pen

Samsung may be preparing a new addition to its flagship lineup. CAD renders published by AndroidHeadlines in partnership with the leaker OnLeaks show a device called the Galaxy S27 Pro, which looks like a Galaxy S27 Ultra shrunk to a more hand-friendly size, minus one signature feature: there is no slot for the S Pen. Nothing here is official. Samsung has not confirmed the device, the name or any specification, and the launch is likely half a year away. But OnLeaks' CAD-based renders have a strong track record, and the leak suggests Samsung is rethinking its naming scheme rather than following Google and Apple's Pro and Pro Max pattern.

What the Renders Show

The S27 Pro measures roughly 154.1 x 73.8 x 8.0mm around a display of about 6.6 inches, per the leak. That makes it about 9mm shorter and 5mm narrower than the S27 Ultra, with the same thickness, and the same new camera bar across the back housing a triple-camera setup. The purple color in the renders is a rendering choice, not a confirmed option.

The camera bar design has drawn grumbling from fans online, but it addresses a genuine annoyance, the camera wobble on flat surfaces, and reportedly frees internal space for magnetic charging support, larger sensors and a bigger vapor chamber down the line.

The Expected Specs

According to the report, the S27 Pro would run Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Extreme, the new 5GHz chip, with Samsung's Exynos 2700 possible in some markets. RAM is expected at 12GB, with a possible 16GB tier, and storage at 256GB to 1TB.

The cameras would largely mirror the Ultra: the same 200-megapixel main and 50-megapixel ultrawide, but a 12-megapixel 3x telephoto in place of the Ultra's 5x. The battery is tipped at 5,200mAh, larger than the S26 Ultra's, likely thanks to the silicon-carbon technology Samsung introduced in this year's foldables.

Price and Timing

AndroidHeadlines expects the S27 series to be announced around late February 2027, just before Mobile World Congress, following the later schedule Samsung adopted with the S26. Pricing is the least certain part of the leak: the report speculates the S27 Ultra could climb to $1,399 or $1,499, with the S27 Pro slotting in around $1,299, the current S26 Ultra price.

If that holds, the Pro's pitch writes itself: nearly everything the Ultra offers, in a one-hand-friendly body, for a couple hundred dollars less, as long as you can live without the stylus.

Northern Lights May Be Visible in 22 States Tonight as a Solar Storm Hits Earth

Skywatchers across the northern United States have a shot at seeing the aurora borealis overnight Friday into Saturday, as a stream of solar wind and a coronal mass ejection, a cloud of charged particles hurled from the sun, are expected to strike Earth's magnetic field. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a watch for a G2-class geomagnetic storm on Friday night, August 28, easing to G1 conditions on Saturday. At G2 strength, the aurora can dip into view from northern-tier states along the Canadian border, and if activity runs stronger than forecast, the glow could stretch as far south as Oregon or New York.
