Abstract:
The latest rumors about Samsung’s next-generation flagship Galaxy S27 series show that the S27 Ultra may be higher in weight and price than its predecessor.
According to sources, this phone weighs 218 grams, which is 4 grams more than the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s 214 grams. The thickness of the phone is about 7.9 mm, which is basically the same as the previous generation. The increase in weight may be related to the larger-capacity battery. Recent rumors suggest that the S27 Ultra may be equipped with a 5700 mAh battery.
In terms of price, rumors from South Korea say that Galaxy The starting price of the basic storage version of the S27 series in the Korean market may increase by at least 130,000 won, or approximately US$95; the price increase for higher-capacity versions may be even greater. Taking the Ultra model as an example, the Galaxy S26 Ultra was priced at $1,299 for the 256GB version and $1,499 for the 512GB version when it was launched. Rumor has it that the base version of the S27 Ultra may start at US$1,399, the 512GB version may reach US$1,549 or higher, and the 1TB version may be priced close to US$2,000; the 1TB version of the S26 Ultra is priced at US$1,799.
Rumors of price increases have been attributed to chip shortages and rising costs driven by artificial intelligence demand. Samsung is also said to be likely to use LPDDR6 memory in at least one high-end S27 Ultra, which is more expensive than LPDDR5X. Weight, capacity, battery and pricing information have not yet been confirmed by Samsung, and rumors in the Korean market do not mean that other regions will inevitably increase prices simultaneously.
