What you need to know
- Samsung’s Galaxy S27 Pro has allegedly appeared in a GSMA database listing alongside the other three models.
- The listing directly mentions the phone by name with a model number that’s uniquely its own.
- Previous rumors claim Samsung wants to expand the Galaxy S27 series with a fourth model, and it could feature a 6.4-inch display with “Ultra-like” features.
Rumors have been drumming up what we might see from Samsung’s Galaxy S27 series for months. Now there’s a report that says one alleged device could be real.
The eagle eyes of OVRPlus claim that the GSMA database now (allegedly) lists a new Galaxy S model that we’ve seen rumored: the Galaxy S27 Pro (via SamMobile). The publication states the device was listed with model number SM-S957B/DS. What’s more, the listing details the manufacturer, which is Samsung, and the device’s “market name” as “Galaxy S27 Pro.”
Usually, listings from GSMA bear weight, but keep in mind that nothing’s confirmed until Samsung says so.
The publication kept searching and found that the database listing contains model numbers and names for the other Galaxy S27 series phones. The company has posted listings for the base Galaxy S27, S27 Plus, and S27 Ultra. These three phones were expected, as they’ve become commonplace for Samsung’s flagship series.
Pro on the way?
The latest leak surrounding the Galaxy S27 Pro came from a South Korean report that said it could bring “Ultra-like” features. The report got things going by stating Samsung was looking to expand its Galaxy S series next year with one additional model: the S27 Pro. While rumors suggest it could offer an experience that’s closer to the Ultra, the Pro wouldn’t feature an S Pen.
What’s more, Samsung could give the S27 Pro a Privacy Display. This wouldn’t be the first time we’ve seen a fourth model injected into the Galaxy S line. My colleague Sanuj Bhatia reminded us all of the Galaxy S25 Edge, which didn’t perform as well. Whether the S27 Pro is simply an experiment or not remains to be seen. On the other hand, specification rumors surfaced for the S27 Pro, stating it could offer a 6.4-inch display.
A screen like this would place it between a base Galaxy S model and a Galaxy S Plus, if we’re going by Samsung’s history. The Pro could also grab the Ultra’s main and ultrawide cameras; however, the difference could be in its telephoto.
Android Central’s Take
A Galaxy S27 Pro would shake things up for sure. I think the display size, from what these rumors have said, would make it interesting, too. The Pro wouldn’t be as big as the Ultra, but would carry features like it. I can see this phone grabbing the attention of people who love the Ultra’s features, but don’t enjoy holding such a big phone all day everyday.
