Samsung Galaxy A27 Leaks: Hole-Punch Display and Flagship-Like Styling Revealed

Samsung’s Galaxy A27 has appeared in its first high-quality renders, revealing a modernized design that ditches the waterdrop notch for a full-screen look and a premium-feeling camera island. The midrange contender borrows visual cues from Samsung’s flagship lineup, signaling a clear step up from the A26.

Reliable leaker OnLeaks has shared the first CAD renders of the Samsung Galaxy A27, giving a detailed preview of the phone’s exterior and key design changes. Measuring 162.3 x 78.6 x 7.9mm, the device adopts a sleeker profile compared to its predecessor and introduces a camera layout that echoes higher-end Galaxy models like the A37 and S-series flagships.

Design overhaul

The most noticeable upgrade is the display notch. While the Galaxy A26 stuck with a dated waterdrop cutout, the A27 appears to use a hole-punch selfie camera for a more modern, edge-to-edge screen experience — likely a 6.7-inch panel. The rear panel features a redesigned triple camera island with three lenses arranged in a horizontal bar, flanked by an LED flash.

Side frames are flat with volume and power buttons on the right, while the bottom houses a USB-C port flanked by a speaker grille and SIM tray. The renders show the phone in black, suggesting Samsung will offer multiple color options at launch.

Specs and context

These renders align with earlier certifications and benchmarks. The Galaxy A27 (model SM-A276B) has surfaced on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, 6GB RAM, and Android 16 running One UI 8.5. Camera specs remain unconfirmed, but the layout suggests a 50MP main sensor, 8MP ultrawide, and 2MP macro — similar to recent A-series phones.

A launch is expected later this year, positioning the A27 as Samsung’s entry-level 5G option with improved aesthetics to compete in the crowded budget segment.
