Samsung May Unveil Galaxy S27 Phones in January or February

    Samsung may unveil the Galaxy S27 series earlier than the previous series, in January or February. The exact date is not yet known, but February is cited as the latest possible date. Most decisions regarding the phones’ technical specifications have been made. However, some important choices for the more expensive models remain open.    The Galaxy S26 series was unveiled at the end of February and went on sale in early March. By comparison, the Galaxy S24 was unveiled in mid-January, while the Galaxy S25 was unveiled at the end of January. The delay of the latest series is believed to have been caused by the last-minute replacement of the Galaxy S26 Edge with the Galaxy S26+.    The main uncertainty concerns the memory in the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra models. According to the information, the base model and Galaxy S27+ are largely ready. The amount and standard of memory in the Pro and Ultra models, as well as how it will be allocated between the models, have not yet been finalized. Rising memory component prices are also affecting Samsung’s decision.    Samsung initially considered using UFS 5 storage and LPDDR6 RAM in the Pro and Ultra models. UFS 5 could deliver read speeds of 10.8 GB/s, while write speeds could reach 9.8 GB/s. The standard is expected to operate 2 times faster than UFS 4.1 and consume 40% less power.    LPDDR6 RAM offers data transfer speeds of 10.6–14.4 Gbps per pin. For LPDDR5X, this figure is 8.5 Gbps. Simply put, the new memory standards could help the phone work faster with apps and large files.    However, the more expensive components could increase production costs and affect the price of the Galaxy S27 series. Another unresolved issue is whether to use a Snapdragon or Exynos processor for the Galaxy S27 Ultra. Although Qualcomm has denied the claim about overheating issues, Samsung’s final decision is still unknown.
