In summary:
- Tech Advisor reports that Samsung may introduce a Galaxy S27 Pro model in early 2027, featuring a 6.47-inch OLED display positioned between the S26 and S26+.
- This rumored Pro model would mirror Apple’s iPhone strategy by offering a compact S27 Ultra without the S Pen, expanding Samsung’s flagship lineup.
- While previous S26 Pro rumors failed to materialize due to supply chain constraints, the S27 Pro appears more likely as an additional model rather than replacement.
Reports from Korea suggest that a Pro phone is back on the agenda at Samsung HQ, potentially leading to the launch of a Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro in early 2027.
According to ETNews, Samsung is planning a brand-new addition to its flagship smartphone line-up early next year.
The new Galaxy S27 Pro would pack a 6.47-inch OLED screen, positioning it between the 6.3-inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S26 and the 6.7-inch screen of the Samsung Galaxy S26+.
It sounds as if the Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro will essentially be a smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra, but without the S Pen stylus.

We’ve heard this before
We’ve been burned by rumours of a Galaxy Pro phone before, of course. Around this time last year, it was widely reported that a Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro was in the works, and might even take the place of the regular model.
Suffice to say, those rumours didn’t pan out, and the Samsung Galaxy S26 launched in all its blandly familiar (but undoubtedly accomplished) glory.
It seems complications in the smartphone supply chain, with memory components ballooning in price, put paid to a more ambitious line-up from Samsung. It’s far from the only manufacturer to have struggled to offer anything meaningfully new in 2026.
Perhaps the Pro concept simply needed another year to develop, given those aforementioned market constraints. It’s worth noting, too, that this report is claiming that the Pro will be an addition to the Galaxy S27 range, and not a replacement for any one model.
Samsung has been looking for that elusive fourth model since the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge failed to make an impression at the checkout.
In a certain respect, this would emulate the approach of long-time rival Apple, which offers the smaller iPhone 17 Pro alongside the super-sized iPhone 17 Pro Max and the regular iPhone 17 – though it remains to be seen if Apple also ditches its skinny phone ambitions after another year.
