For years, we’ve complained about Samsung charging as much as they do on their ‘Ultra’ phones, with only 12GB of RAM standard. Well, now things are about to get worse because of the RAM crisis.
According to tipster @kro_roe, Samsung is apparently planning to offer the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus with 8GB of RAM alongside the previously leaked 12GB models. So, similar to the ‘Ultra’ models, where you can get 16GB of RAM with 1TB of storage, Samsung seems to be doing the same with the base models to keep prices down.
This same tipster also claims Samsung plans to use different UFS storage versions across the Galaxy S27 lineup. So some models may offer faster storage speeds than others. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen this leak about different storage versions.
Finally, the 1TB Galaxy S27 Ultra is still in the cards, but semiconductor cost pressures could push the price even higher than initially expected. However, this tipster doesn’t mention prices at all. This is likely because prices will still change before the Galaxy S27 is announced.
Samsung’s Galaxy S27 series is slated to launch early next year
Right now, Samsung is apparently targeting January for the Galaxy S27 launch, though it could be pushed back to February. February would make more sense, since it’s closer to Mobile World Congress, when Samsung announced the Galaxy S26 series this year.
Either way, we still have a few months before Samsung officially announces the Galaxy S27 and puts it on sale. Unfortunately, prices won’t drop anytime soon, and the Galaxy S27 Ultra could become Samsung’s most expensive Galaxy S phone ever, at least on paper. The Galaxy S20 Ultra launched at $1,399 back in 2020, which works out to roughly $1,750 in today’s money. So even if the Galaxy S27 Ultra lands at $1,499 or more, as expected, it would technically still be cheaper than the S20 Ultra after inflation. That’s not much comfort, though, when you’re the one paying.
