The Samsung Galaxy S27 will feature a new Pro variant, which is essentially the Ultra version but excludes the S Pen.

      Four Galaxy S27 models are on the way, with one model hitting the sweet spot between the Plus and Ultra.

      Samsung has maintained a three-model Galaxy S lineup since 2020: standard, Plus, and Ultra. The Galaxy S27 is set to change that. Industry sources, initially reported by leaker Ice Universe on X, indicate that Samsung’s Mobile eXperience division has decided to introduce a new “Pro” model to the Galaxy S27 series, bringing the flagship lineup to four models: Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra.

      BREAKING! The Samsung Galaxy S27 series will launch a new “Pro” model — essentially an Ultra minus the S Pen. This means the lineup will include four models: Galaxy S27, S27+, S27 Pro, and S27 Ultra. Samsung Electronics is adding a new high-end model to the Galaxy S27…— Ice Universe (@UniverseIce) April 6, 2026

      What is the Galaxy S27 Pro?

      Consider it as the Samsung Galaxy Ultra without the S Pen. It is not a substitute for the Plus but an additional high-end option positioned between the Plus and Ultra. It serves as an ideal phone for those who desire Ultra features but have never used an S Pen. This addition might also lead to a price reduction, making the device even more appealing.

      An industry insider has confirmed that specific details, such as display size, are still being finalized, but the general direction is clear. Features exclusive to the Ultra, including the privacy display that drew significant attention on the Galaxy S26 Ultra, are expected to be available on both the Pro and Ultra models in the next generation.

      Is this Samsung’s response to Apple?

      Apple currently has a lineup structured with four models: standard, Air, Pro, and Pro Max. Analysts interpreting Ice Universe's post suggest that Samsung might be attempting to replicate this strategy. However, considering the poor sales of the S25 Edge, it has opted for a Pro model instead of a sleeker one.

      A brief note on the S Pen

      If you hope Samsung will reinstate the Bluetooth feature for the S Pen, don’t count on it. Samsung eliminated Bluetooth capabilities from the S Pen on the Galaxy S25 Ultra, citing low usage, and continued that trend with the S26 Ultra.

      Initial thoughts after 12 hours with the Galaxy S25 Ultra: 📐 The new corners are less appealing but significantly more comfortable. 🖋️ I'm still annoyed but don't expect to miss the S Pen features. (Samsung claims it removed them because less than 1% of customers utilized them.) 🧠 The “Now Bar” summaries are… pic.twitter.com/XcHQBMSIse— Michael Fisher (@Captain2Phones) January 23, 2025

      The inclusion of an S27 Pro gives Samsung some flexibility to potentially reintroduce those features, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Samsung confirmed to reviewer Michael Fisher that fewer than 1% of buyers used the Bluetooth features, which is why the hardware was removed. It's unlikely that the company will revisit this issue soon.

      If Samsung introduces a Galaxy S27 Pro, the name alone won’t save it.

      Samsung doesn’t require another name; it needs a better mid-tier flagship.

      New rumors have reignited discussions about a new Galaxy Pro flagship phone, and this makes sense to me—but not for flattering reasons. Samsung is anticipated to add a fourth Galaxy S27 model next year, with a "Pro" variant expected to sit just below the top-tier S27 Ultra. This model essentially fills the gap between the standard and Ultra Galaxy phones with high-end features, excluding the S Pen. Some premium features could potentially include the S26 Ultra's new Privacy Display feature.

      Some of Samsung’s top new Galaxy S26 AI features are making their way to the S25.

      Samsung is reportedly not hoarding all of the best new Galaxy AI enhancements exclusively for the Galaxy S26 series. The company has confirmed that it is developing a software update to transfer newer AI features introduced in the latest flagship lineup to older models.

      Google’s latest Play Store fix addresses cluttered app reviews.

      Users can now search through reviews to quickly identify specific complaints, bugs, or paywalls. Google is implementing a fix for one of the Play Store’s most frustrating issues—messy, difficult-to-navigate app reviews. A new feature allows users to jump directly to the feedback that matters most. Instead of sifting through hundreds of comments, users can now type in specific terms and immediately access relevant experiences. It’s a minor adjustment, but it addresses a significant trust deficit in how apps are assessed prior to downloading.
