  "account": "Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra is reportedly heavier than its predecessor, the Galaxy S26 Ultra. According to a leak shared by prominent leaker Ice Universe on X, the Galaxy S27 Ultra may weigh 218 grams, which is 4 grams more than the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Despite the added weight, the new Ultra flagship is expected to maintain the same slim profile as its predecessor, measuring 7.9mm thick. This added weight may be attributed to rumors that Samsung is packing the next Ultra flagship with a larger 5,700mAh battery pack. If this leak proves accurate, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could potentially outrank the Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max in terms of both weight and thickness. While the Samsung Galaxy S27 series is not expected to launch for several months, speculation about the smartphone lineup, particularly the Galaxy S27 Ultra, is already generating buzz among tech enthusiasts.",
