Samsung's Galaxy S27 series is expected to launch in the first quarter of 2027, and the lineup may grow from three phones to four with a new Galaxy S27 Pro sitting between the Plus and Ultra. Reported screen sizes would put the Galaxy S27 Ultra at 6.89 inches, the Galaxy S27 Pro at 6.47 inches, the Galaxy S27 Plus at 6.66 inches and the base model at 6.27 inches.
That is the detail buyers are likely to notice first, because it would change how Samsung sorts its flagship family before the phones even reach the shelf. A four-model structure would give the company a clearer ladder from the base Galaxy S27 to the Ultra, while also creating a new middle tier for shoppers who want more than the standard model without jumping all the way to the top end.
The display story is the sharper part of the report. Samsung Display is said to be supplying its M16 OLED material set to only the Galaxy S27 Ultra and Galaxy S27 Pro, while the base Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus would move to M14 OLED. That would still mark an upgrade for the lower two models, since M14 is described as a step up from the M13 material the base Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus have reportedly used since the Galaxy S24 series.
That split matters because it suggests Samsung may be drawing a hard line inside the lineup rather than treating the four phones as near-identical variants. M16 has reportedly already appeared in Apple, Google and Vivo phones, which makes the Galaxy S27 family part of a wider shift in how premium OLED material is being allocated across flagship devices. The supply-chain details also carry more weight than the other chatter around the phones, because they point to manufacturing planning rather than simple wishful thinking.
Still, Samsung has not confirmed the lineup restructuring or the display changes, and the rest of the talk around the Galaxy S27 Ultra is less solid. Industry sources say the chip question for that model remains unresolved internally at Samsung, while single-tipster claims also point to the possible removal of its 3x telephoto lens, a rear camera rearrangement and a rumored Galaxy S27 Pro camera setup. Those claims may shape the rumor cycle, but they do not carry the same backing as the display reporting.
For now, the clearest read is that Samsung is moving toward a bigger, more segmented flagship family ahead of the first quarter of 2027. The next real checkpoint is whether the company locks in the Galaxy S27 Ultra processor and keeps the four-phone plan intact, because those two decisions will define whether the launch becomes a simple refresh or a full reset of the Galaxy S line.
