Samsung is rumored to introduce a fourth model in its Galaxy S27 lineup, called the Galaxy S27 Pro. According to a report from South Korean tech site ETNews, the new model will have a 6.47 inch OLED display. It will sit between the Galaxy S27 Plus (typically 6.7 inches) and the Galaxy S27 Ultra (larger). The Pro model will reportedly not support the S Pen, but will otherwise share most of the same specifications as the Plus model. The move mirrors Apple‘s and Google’s strategies of offering two size options for their Pro phones. The S27 Pro is also rumored to receive the Privacy Display feature that first debuted on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. This review covers the rumored specifications, display size, positioning in the lineup and how it compares to competing Pro phones from Apple and Google.
Rumored Specifications And Display Size
The table below summarises the rumored specifications for the Galaxy S27 Pro based on the ETNews report and analyst speculation.
| Feature | Rumored Specification |
|---|---|
| Display Size | 6.47 inches (OLED) |
| Position in Lineup | Between Plus and Ultra |
| S Pen Support | No (Ultra only) |
| Privacy Display | Yes (inherited from S26 Ultra) |
| Other Specifications | Same as Galaxy S27 Plus (processor, cameras, battery) |
| Release Year | 2027 (likely) |
The 6.47 inch display is smaller than the Plus model‘s typical 6.7 inch screen. This addresses a gap in the market for users who want a powerful phone but do not want a massive 7 inch display.
Galaxy S27 Lineup: Four Models
| Model | Expected Screen Size | S Pen Support | Target User |
|---|---|---|---|
| Galaxy S27 | ~6.2 inches (est) | No | General users, compact preference |
| Galaxy S27 Pro | 6.47 inches | No | Power users who want smaller screen |
| Galaxy S27 Plus | ~6.7 inches | No | Power users who want larger screen |
| Galaxy S27 Ultra | ~6.9 inches | Yes | Enthusiasts, note takers, creators |
The introduction of the Pro model mirrors Apple‘s iPhone lineup (iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max) and Google’s Pixel lineup (Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL). The S27 Pro would fill the slot that the iPhone Air currently occupies in Apple‘s lineup.
Privacy Display Feature
The Galaxy S27 Pro is rumored to receive the Privacy Display feature that first debuted on the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Privacy Display prevents people next to you from seeing what is on your screen without a blackout screen protector. It works in both portrait and landscape orientations. You can enable it for all apps, specific apps (banking, email) or only for incoming notifications.
If this rumor is accurate, the Privacy Display feature would trickle down from the Ultra to the Pro model within one generation.
