Samsung Galaxy S27 series may get big hardware upgrades, but prices could rise
Samsung’s Galaxy S27 series could bring several big upgrades, but the phones may also cost more. The launch is still months away, but leaks have already revealed some possible details.
According to a new leak, the regular Galaxy S27 and S27 Plus could come with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra could also start with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Other versions may offer 512GB storage, while the top model could have 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage. The rumored Galaxy S27 Pro could have 12GB of RAM with storage options going up to 1TB.
Samsung may also use newer memory and storage technology. The S27 Pro and S27 Ultra are rumored to feature LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.1 storage. These could make the phones faster and more efficient than the current models.
The displays may also get an upgrade. The S27 Pro and Ultra could use Samsung’s new M16 OLED panels, which may offer better brightness, colors and battery efficiency. The regular S27 and S27 Plus could also get improved displays.
The Galaxy S27 Ultra is also rumored to use different processors in different countries, including Samsung’s Exynos 2700 and a new Snapdragon chip. These upgrades could make the Galaxy S27 series more powerful than previous models. However, better hardware could also mean higher prices.
For now, all these details are based on leaks. Samsung has not officially confirmed the Galaxy S27 specifications or prices.

Samsung Galaxy S27 is trading Miracle for Trinity
Samsung may have changed the development direction for the Galaxy S27 series, with a new report revealing that the company has traded the “New/Next Miracle” codename for “Trinity.”
The company previously used the “New Miracle” or “Next Miracle” designation for its next-generation flagship Galaxy S27 phones, following the “Miracle” codename associated with the Galaxy S26 series.
New information, via SammyGuru, now points to Samsung internally referring to the Galaxy S27 family as “Trinity.”
Galaxy S27 moves from NM to Trinity
Earlier leaks identified four upcoming models as NM1, NM2, NM3 and NM4. Those names were believed to represent the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra, respectively.
However, recent trade-data information suggests Samsung has shifted to a new naming structure: Trinity1, Trinity2, Trinity3 and Trinity4. The four devices are expected to map to the same lineup:
- Galaxy S27: Trinity1
- Galaxy S27+: Trinity2
- Galaxy S27 Pro: Trinity3
- Galaxy S27 Ultra: Trinity4
The change itself does not necessarily mean Samsung has redesigned the phones. Internal codenames can change during development, and Samsung has not publicly explained why the Miracle-based naming was dropped.
The codename change arrives as other Galaxy S27 details continue to emerge. Reports have pointed to upgraded camera hardware on the Pro and Ultra models, including a 50MP ultrawide camera and a new 16MP autofocus selfie camera.
Samsung is also reportedly testing Galaxy S27 firmware internally with One UI 9.5, which is expected to be based on Android 17. That fits the company’s usual development cycle, with the next Galaxy S generation expected in early 2027.

Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra teaser reveals slim and strong design
Samsung is getting ready to launch its next flagship tablet series, the Galaxy Tab S12 lineup. The company has already confirmed that its new premium Galaxy Tab tablets will arrive in the second half of 2026. Now, Samsung has started hinting at the upcoming devices.
Samsung Germany recently shared a teaser for the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra on Instagram. The teaser uses the words “ultra slim, ultra strong.” This suggests that Samsung could be focusing on making the new tablet thinner while keeping it strong and durable.
Notably, the current Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra is already just 5.1mm thick. Due to this, the new teaser could mean that the Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra will have an even slimmer body. However, Samsung has not yet confirmed the exact thickness or design of the tablet.

Before you buy an iPhone 18 Pro, see how tough it really is
Apple’s latest iPhone devices hit the retail market on September 18. Just hours after the new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max became available, Zack Nelson of JerryRigEverything released the durability test video on his YouTube channel.
iPhone 18 Pro passed the durability test with flying colors. Meanwhile, Apple has to do a lot of work on the back panel’s scratch resistance. Major scratches could permanently appear on the back, ruining the overall look.
Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro comes with a 2nm-based A20 Pro chipset. The company has also improved battery life and charging speed. A recent test revealed that the iPhone 18 Pro Max lasts longer than the S26 Ultra, but lags in charging speed.
Apple also brought iPhone Duo, its first foldable phone. The device will go on sale next month and everyone is waiting for that phone’s durability test. Apple’s engineering will face a brutal test as soon as the Duo hits market shelves.
Screen scratch resistance
The iPhone 18 Pro screen utilizes the same Ceramic Shield 2 cover glass as the previous model. It exhibits scratch resistance consistent with previous tests, beginning to scratch at a level 7 with deeper grooves at a level 8.
Additionally, the screen survives exposure to direct flame for approximately 25 seconds without permanent damage.
Bend test
The phone undergoes a rigorous bend test to check for structural weakness. Despite a larger vapor chamber for cooling, the device remains solid, rigid, and does not flex.
Meanwhile, placing the phone in a pocket with metal keys can cause visible material transfer onto the glass back and the anodized camera plateau. Minor scratches can actually be brushed or wiped off, keeping the device looking clean.
