Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra: what is known so far

Leaked details reveal RAM, storage, and battery configurations of the new flagship models

Recent leaks point to major changes in the specifications of Samsung's upcoming flagships, especially the S27 Ultra and S27 Pro models. The news gained prominence after a certification in China revealed battery capacities and the possibility of adopting new generations of memory.

Memory and storage configurations

According to a rumor from Korea, Samsung intends to equip the S27 Ultra and S27 Pro with LPDDR6 memory and UFS 5.1 storage. There is also the possibility that only the higher-capacity versions will receive these standards, while the more basic versions maintain previous technologies.

The base model of the S27 line will now start with 256 GB of storage, something that did not happen in previous generations. The S27+ will maintain the same storage options as its predecessor, and the S27 Pro will inherit the 1 TB option from the Ultra, but with 12 GB of RAM.

Battery and charging

A recent certification in China indicates that the S27 Pro will have a 5,200 mAh battery, while the S27 Ultra will reach 5,700 mAh. Both devices will support 60 W wired charging, maintaining the same charging speed as previous models.

In comparison, the S26 Ultra had an advertised battery of 5,000 mAh, which represents an increase of about 14% for the S27 Ultra. The S26, in turn, had 4,300 mAh in a similar physical size, indicating a significant leap for the new Pro model.

Impact of memory choices

The decision to use LPDDR6 only on higher versions may create performance differences between models. While devices with LPDDR6 are expected to offer higher bandwidth and energy efficiency, the others may continue with LPDDR5X, according to previous rumors.

Comparison with competitors

The leaks show that, despite the capacity increase, the battery of the new flagships still falls short of some competitors that are already announcing units above 6,000 mAh, such as the upcoming Oppo Find X10, which reportedly features 8,000 mAh.

Conclusion

The details released so far indicate that Samsung is boosting battery life and storage speed in its upcoming flagships, although the full adoption of new memory technologies still depends on the higher-capacity versions. As always, the information has not yet been officially confirmed and should be closely monitored until the launch.
