What you need to know
- The Galaxy S27 is expected to retain almost the same design and dimensions as the current Galaxy S26.
- The Galaxy S27 Pro could share the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s new iPhone-like horizontal camera plateau design.
- Leaked renders suggest the smaller Galaxy S27 Pro won’t feature an S Pen slot, unlike the Galaxy S27 Ultra.
Following the Galaxy S27 Ultra renders leak, we’re now finally starting to see the base Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Pro as well.
Over the past few days, we’ve seen several leaks surrounding the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s new design. Samsung appears to be moving away from its familiar vertical camera layout in favor of an iPhone-like horizontal camera plateau, with two prominent camera lenses on the left and a vertical pill-shaped module next to them.
From everything we’ve seen so far, it’s hard not to notice the inspiration from Apple‘s iPhone 17 Pro lineup.
And now, we’re starting to get a look at the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Pro as well.
Renders of the base Galaxy S27 were shared by OnLeaks in collaboration with Android Headlines, and unfortunately, it looks like Samsung isn’t changing much from the Galaxy S26.

The phone still features three vertically arranged cameras inside a raised camera island in the top-left corner, with an overall design that looks extremely similar to its predecessor. Even the dimensions are reportedly more or less identical. This seemingly confirms that Samsung is keeping its new design exclusive to the more expensive models.
And that theory has gained even more weight thanks to a separate Galaxy S27 Pro leak from Ice Universe on X. The leaker shared outline renders comparing the Galaxy S27 Ultra and Galaxy S27 Pro, showing that the two phones will reportedly share a very similar design.
That isn’t entirely surprising, since the Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to share several design elements and specifications with the Ultra. However, the renders also appear to confirm one major difference: the smaller Pro model won’t come with an S Pen.
There’s no S Pen slot visible on the Galaxy S27 Pro, and Samsung will also reportedly reposition the speaker grille and microphone on the smaller model.
In a separate post, Ice Universe also claimed that the Galaxy S27 Ultra will feature a more rounded frame than the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which should make the larger phone feel more natural and comfortable in the hand.
Overall, these Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Pro leaks seem to clear up one major question about Samsung’s 2027 lineup. The new horizontal camera design will apparently remain exclusive to the Galaxy S27 Pro and Ultra, while the regular Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus will stick with Samsung’s more familiar design.
