Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Pro finally breaks cover, and it looks familiar

The release of Samsung’s Galaxy S27 series reveal is roughly five months away at this point, but that’s not stopping early leaks and rumors from shedding light on what the upcoming devices might look like. The latest in the series of leaks gives us our first clear look at the Galaxy S27 Pro.

We got our first-ever look at renders of the S27 Ultra earlier this week, which were followed by the base Galaxy S27 breaking cover. And now, thanks to the folks over at Android Headlines, we have finally have clear S27 Pro renders.

For reference, the tech giant explored the possibility of debuting a Pro-branded phone with the S26 series, but plans fell through. With the S27 Pro now appearing in early leaks, it looks like Samsung is indeed revisiting the idea for its next flagship lineup.

We’re potentially looking at the base Galaxy S27, the Galaxy S27+, the Galaxy S27 Pro, and the Galaxy S27 Ultra, with the S27 Pro expected to be closer to the flagship Ultra than to the S27+.

The new renders reiterate that expectation, with the S27 Pro looking like a scaled-down Galaxy S27 Ultra with the redesigned iPhone 17 Pro-like camera island. It retains the top-of-the-line model’s triple camera setup, with the actual camera specs expected to be largely the same as the S27 Ultra’s.

That’s because the Pro model reportedly shares most of its specifications with the S27 Ultra, barring support for the S Pen. The renders highlight the bottom of the device, and there’s no sign of a dedicated S Pen slot. The screen size is the other major difference.

The Galaxy S27 is expected to measure roughly 154.06 x 73.77 x 7.95mm, making it about 9mm shorter and 5mm narrower than the Galaxy S27 Ultra. Check out the two side-by-side below:

The two devices will reportedly be equally thick, coming in at 7.97mm. The S27 Ultra could boast a 6.9-inch display, while the S27 Pro would rock a smaller 6.6-inch display.

From the front, the S27 Pro looks exactly like last year’s S26 Ultra, with equally thin bezels and a punch-hole selfie camera. The phone could be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 or Samsung’s own Exynos 2700, complete with 12GB and 16 GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB storage.

Because of its overall smaller footprint, the battery department is also where the Pro model might have to sacrifice. Early leaks suggest that the S27 Ultra will boast a 5,700mAh cell. The S27 Pro is expected to be powered by a relatively smaller 5,200mAh cell. That’s still a sizeable battery, and compared to the S26 Ultra, it’s already an upgrade.

The new renders suggest that the S27 Pro is being positioned as the phone for those who want an Ultra-like experience, without having to carry around a huge slab of a phone essentially the opposite of what Google does with its Pro and Pro XL models. Alas, details about the reported S26 Pro were equally convincing last year, so it’s worth treating all leaks about the S27 Pro with a healthy dose of skepticism , at least until we get closer to 2027.
