Samsung appears to be preparing a bigger hardware rethink for its next Ultra flagship. The Galaxy S27 Ultra has reportedly appeared in China's 3C certification with 60W charging, while newer leaks point to a horizontal camera bar, a larger silicon carbon battery and possible built-in Qi2 magnets. The camera system could also get a new 200MP sensor with variable-aperture technology. Unlike earlier rumours, recent reports suggest Samsung is not simply making the phone bigger, but changing the internal layout to fit more hardware into a similar-sized body.
Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra Price: How Much Could It Cost?
Samsung has not revealed the Galaxy S27 Ultra price yet, and there is currently no credible India price leak. The S26 Ultra started at $1,299 in the US, giving some indication of where the next Ultra could sit, but Samsung's pricing may change with the hardware upgrades.
For now, the important point is that there is no confirmed Galaxy S27 Ultra price for India. Any specific figure circulating online should be treated as an estimate.
Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra Launch: When Could It Arrive?
The Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to launch in January or February 2027, following Samsung's recent annual flagship cycle. The Galaxy S27 family is expected to be unveiled together, although Samsung has not announced an official Unpacked date.
The phone is already progressing through development, with reports pointing to internal One UI 9.5 testing and certification activity. This suggests the launch is moving closer, but an exact India sale date remains unknown.
Bigger Battery, Same 60W Charging: What Samsung Is Changing
- 5,700mAh battery- This Model S27 Ultra could get a 5,700mAh battery, though some leaks claim 5,500mAh.
- Silicon-carbon cells: Samsung may use silicon-carbon technology to increase capacity without significantly increasing the phone’s thickness.
- 60W charging: The phone has reportedly appeared in China’s 3C certification with 60W wired charging.
- No faster charging: Samsung could retain 60W instead of moving to 80W or 100W charging.
- More internal space: Samsung is reportedly testing different internal layouts to accommodate the larger battery.
- S Pen stays: Despite some prototype changes, the retail Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to retain the built-in S Pen.
- Better endurance: The larger battery could improve daily battery life, although processor and software efficiency will also matter.
Camera Bar May Actually Be About More Than Cameras
Samsung could replace the familiar individual camera rings with a wide horizontal camera bar, marking one of the biggest rear-design changes for the Ultra series. Recent CAD renders suggest the phone itself could remain close to the S26 Ultra in size despite the new camera arrangement.
The camera hardware could also change:
- A new 200MP main camera is being tested.
- Variable aperture technology could return, giving the main sensor greater control over light and depth of field.
- A 50MP ultrawide and redesigned telephoto system are rumoured.
- The familiar 3x telephoto could reportedly be removed, although reports disagree on the final zoom arrangement.
The S Pen is still expected to stay, while the phone could retain a roughly 6.9-inch display. Samsung is also reportedly testing next-generation Snapdragon and Exynos hardware, so the final processor may vary by market.
