Galaxy S27 Leak Reveals Three Chips Across Four Samsung Models

Samsung’s Galaxy S27 lineup could feature three processors across four smartphones, according to newly reported import-export records. The European versions of the Galaxy S27 and S27+ are listed with Samsung’s Exynos 2700, while the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra appear with different Qualcomm chipsets.

The most notable detail concerns the Pro. Rather than sharing the Ultra’s top-tier processor, it is listed with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6. The Ultra, meanwhile, is associated with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, suggesting another hardware distinction between Samsung’s two more expensive models.

Samsung has not announced the Galaxy S27 series, so the database entries should be treated as preliminary rather than confirmation of final retail specifications.

European Listings Reveal a Three-Chip Split

According to Notebookcheck’s report on records from the NBD trade-data platform, the entries cover European variants of all four expected Galaxy S27 models.

All four configurations and their associated model numbers are detailed in the reported NBD entries. They do not establish the complete range of memory and storage options Samsung may offer at launch.

The distinction is therefore not simply between Exynos and Snapdragon. If the records reflect Samsung’s final plans, buyers would also encounter two separate Snapdragon performance tiers within the same flagship family.

The Galaxy S27 Pro May Not Match the Ultra’s Processor

The Pro’s listed chipset is the main departure from earlier expectations. Previous reporting had suggested that the smaller premium model could use the same Extreme-class Snapdragon processor as the Ultra, with a possible Exynos version in some markets.

The newer records instead associate the Pro with Qualcomm’s SM8950 and the Ultra with SM8975. That would position the Pro below the Ultra in chipset tier, rather than making it a straightforward smaller alternative with identical processing hardware.

The segmentation could give Samsung another way to distinguish its premium models. However, the listings do not quantify any real-world performance difference. Processor names alone cannot establish how the phones will compare in gaming, battery efficiency or sustained workloads.

Regional Chipset Differences Could Continue

The supplied report suggests that the Galaxy S27 and S27+ will use Exynos 2700 in most markets, with the United States and selected other regions receiving the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 instead.

The Pro is expected to use its Snapdragon processor more broadly, although its South Korean configuration remains uncertain. The Ultra is likewise tipped for wider use of the Extreme variant.

Those regional expectations go beyond what the reported European entries establish. The NBD records described by Notebookcheck identify the European configurations; they do not confirm a worldwide processor allocation.

Until Samsung publishes regional specifications, it would be premature to describe any model as definitively Snapdragon-only worldwide.

All Three Processors Are Reported as 2nm Designs

The supplied information describes the Exynos 2700, Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 as 2nm processors.

That places them within the same stated manufacturing generation, but it does not make them equivalent. Nor does it establish that one will necessarily deliver better battery life or lower temperatures in a finished phone.

The reported split raises useful questions about Samsung’s product positioning, but answering them will require final specifications and direct testing. The database entries themselves provide no benchmark results or sustained-performance measurements.

Display Sizes Suggest Four Distinct Positions

The listed screen sizes also help explain how the expanded range could be organised. At 6.3 inches, the standard Galaxy S27 would remain the smallest option. The 6.7-inch S27+ would serve buyers wanting a larger screen, while the Pro would combine a smaller 6.5-inch display with higher-end positioning. The Ultra would remain the largest at 6.9 inches.

These dimensions are not entirely consistent across earlier reports. Previous coverage placed the Pro’s display at approximately 6.6 inches, rather than the 6.5 inches in the newer records. That discrepancy is another reason to regard pre-launch specifications as provisional.

Launch Expected in Early 2027

The Galaxy S27 family is tipped to arrive in the first quarter of 2027, with January or February identified in the supplied report as the likely announcement window.

Earlier reporting favoured a February unveiling, but presented that timing as an expectation rather than an officially confirmed date.

For now, the clearest development is the reported European chipset allocation: Exynos for the standard and Plus models, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 for the Pro, and an Extreme variant for the Ultra. If that arrangement reaches retail, the Galaxy S27 range will offer more choice—but also require buyers to look beyond screen size when comparing models.
