Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra and Pro dummy phones show off what's coming next
We're getting to see next year's lineup early
As the year draws to a close, anticipation for upcoming holidays and Black Friday deals sets the mood for potential new technology releases. While no new products from major brands are expected until 2027, Samsung seems to be the first to unveil its upcoming S-series phones. The brand has traditionally released its new S-series devices in January, and we've seen ample information about these devices over the past few months.
Now, dummy units have surfaced to showcase the Galaxy S27 Ultra, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27+. Leaked by Sonny Dickson, a well-known source who has previously exposed unreleased Apple products, the dummy units have been shared with Android Authority. The top-end S27 Ultra and S27+ bear a resemblance to Apple's Pro models from the past two years, garnering mixed reactions.
However, it's crucial to experience a device firsthand before forming an opinion. An interesting detail revealed by Android Authority is that the dummy models seem to have an error in the camera placement on the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra, as it does not exist in reality. Despite Samsung's reputation for incremental updates, the company continues to dominate as one of the world's leading Android handset manufacturers.
In terms of budget-friendly choices and foldables, Samsung holds a strong position, particularly in the United States market, where competition is limited. With the introduction of more premium devices in the pipeline, Samsung appears to be shifting its focus towards these high-end offerings, especially their foldable smartphones, which have seen significant success this year.
One can only wait and observe what Samsung has in store for the upcoming year, as the Galaxy S series no longer defines the brand's capabilities but rather the Galaxy Z Fold series does. Looking ahead, Samsung might unveil another trifold device this year.
