Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro leak reveals chip identity crisis
Android Authority • • general
Key Points:
- The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro is expected to use the Exynos 2700 chip in most global markets outside the US, while the US models will feature Qualcomm Snapdragon processors.
- The Exynos 2700, a 2nm chip with a unique Side-by-Side package design for improved heat dissipation, will power the Galaxy S27, S27 Plus, and S27 Pro, whereas the Galaxy S27 Ultra will remain Snapdragon-exclusive worldwide.
- Samsung aims to increase the use of its in-house Exynos chips across its smartphone lineup, continuing a strategy similar to the Galaxy S26 series with regional chipset variations.
- The Galaxy S27 Pro, positioned between the S27 Plus and S27 Ultra, will not serve as a top-tier Snapdragon alternative globally, which may disappoint power users outside the US seeking high performance without the S Pen.
- Other rumored upgrades for the S27 series include a Privacy Display to prevent side-angle viewing and a front camera upgrade to a 16MP sensor for the Pro and Ultra models.
