The Galaxy S27 May Launch Earlier than Usual, Samsung’s Leaked Plans Reveal
- Tipster Lanzuk reports the Galaxy S27 series will likely return to the standard January or February release window, with most hardware decisions for the upcoming devices reportedly finalized.
- Samsung is currently deciding whether to equip the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra with LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage, as memory chip prices have surged several-fold over the past year.
- Upgraded components offer significant performance gains, as UFS 5.0 doubles speeds up to 10.8GB/s compared to UFS 4.1, while LPDDR6 will offer up to 10.6-14.4Gbps per pin with 40% more power efficiency.
- These potential upgrades mean the Galaxy S27 series will likely be more expensive, though the exact cost increase remains unclear, and Samsung faces pressure to finalize component details for the Pro and Ultra models.
- The company has yet to clarify if the S27 Ultra will use Snapdragon or Exynos processors, but the manufacturer aims to avoid last-minute model changes like last year.
