Galaxy S27 leak reveals an uninspired design with minimal changes

TL;DR

New CAD renders suggest the base Galaxy S27 looks almost unchanged from the Galaxy S26, with flat panels, a flat frame, and a familiar triple-ring camera design.

The bezels may be slightly thinner, but the images are unofficial and could still change before launch.

Leaks say Samsung may launch four S27 models, with the Ultra getting a more distinctive new camera layout than the standard and Plus versions.

Samsung may release not three, but four mainline Galaxy S27 models next year. Unofficial renders recently revealed what the Galaxy S27 Ultra might look like, and now, a new collection of CAD renders shared by Android Headlines is giving the base S27 model the same treatment.

Unfortunately, they're not all that exciting. Or, more specifically, the source material isn't. The upcoming Galaxy S27 looks virtually identical to the S26 in these renders.

That means the Galaxy S27 has flat panels, a flat frame with rounded corners, and an S26-esque camera housing complete with three camera rings.

As the source points out, the Galaxy S27's screen bezels might be marginally thinner than the S26's.

Then again, since these are unofficial renders, most of what we see is technically subject to change.

What will the other S27 models look like?

Rumors have it that Samsung may release four models next year: the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+, Galaxy S27 Pro, and Galaxy S27 Ultra.

According to the most recent leaks, the Galaxy S27 and S27+ should look virtually the same, except the Plus model is larger. It's the same formula Samsung uses today.

However, the Galaxy S27 Ultra may bring a completely new look based on a wider, horizontal rectangular camera housing.

Interestingly, the rumored Galaxy S27 Pro may have a more prominent camera housing as well, but nothing's certain at the moment.

Samsung may announce the Galaxy S27 series in January or February 2027. The company hasn't made any announcements because it's too early. Right now, Samsung is busy preparing the Galaxy S26 FE for its debut.

First Samsung device: SGH-A800

Mihai is a blogger and column writer at SamMobile. His first Samsung phone was an A800 which took a lot of beating, and a part of him still misses the novelty of the clamshell design. In his free time, he enjoys watching shows, documentaries, and stand-up comedy; listening to music, taking walks, and occasionally playing old(er) video games.
