Recent reports from Korea suggest that Samsung is reconsidering the idea of a Pro phone, potentially leading to the debut of a Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro in early 2027.

According to ETNews, Samsung is gearing up to introduce a new flagship smartphone early next year.

The upcoming Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to feature a 6.47-inch OLED display, positioning it between the screen sizes of the Samsung Galaxy S26 and S26+.

The Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro appears to be a smaller version of the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra, minus the S Pen stylus.

Familiar Territory

We’ve previously encountered rumors of a Galaxy Pro phone, with reports suggesting a Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro in development last year, which ultimately did not materialize.

Despite previous setbacks, Samsung launched the Samsung Galaxy S26 successfully, navigating challenges in the smartphone supply chain.

Market constraints in 2026, such as rising memory component prices, hindered Samsung’s plans for an extensive lineup.

The delay in introducing the Pro concept could be attributed to market conditions, with the new report indicating the Pro as an addition to the Galaxy S27 series.

Samsung’s pursuit of a fourth model follows the underwhelming performance of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

This approach mirrors Apple’s strategy of offering multiple iPhone variants, including a smaller Pro model alongside larger versions.
