Display Upgrades
Alongside the new design, more leaks hint that all three Galaxy S27 smartphone models will get upgraded display panels, with the top-end Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra 5G getting the latest M16 OLED panel on the front, which also powers the latest Apple iPhone Duo.
The new Samsung M16 OLED panels offer higher brightness, improved battery efficiency, and better colour accuracy, as well as a longer lifespan thanks to additional layers that enhance durability.
The new M16 OLED panel also supports COE (Colour-Filter On-Encapsulation), which offers better colour reproduction than the previous models.
The display panels for models including the Samsung Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27+ will feature the Samsung M16 OLED, an upgrade over the current M14 OLED panels used in the Galaxy S26 models.
Samsung is also planning to expand the Privacy Tech feature from the Ultra model to all models, including the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus.
Under the hood, the Galaxy S27 models will get an upgraded processor, RAM, and storage. Some leaks suggest Samsung might bring back both Exynos and Qualcomm chipsets.
In markets like the U.S.A., the Galaxy S27 models will run on the Qualcomm 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 processor. The other models, the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Plus, and Galaxy S27 Pro, will get an Exynos chipset, possibly the Exynos 2700, which will likely launch in December 2026.
Under the hood, the Samsung Galaxy S27 models will get an upgraded battery, with leaks suggesting Samsung may switch to a silicon-carbon battery.
We’ll get updates on Galaxy S27 models soon, though reports suggest Samsung is scrapping the Edge; there will be no Galaxy S27 Edge to compete with the Apple iPhone Air series.
