At this point, it is no secret that Samsung is preparing to introduce a new Pro tier to its flagship smartphone lineup with the upcoming Galaxy S27 series. The device, reportedly called the Galaxy S27 Pro, has already appeared in previous leaks. Now, tipster @kro_itnyang, known as kro on X, has shared details about its display and battery specifications of this device.

According to kro, the Galaxy S27 Pro will feature a 6.5-inch display and a 5,000mAh battery. Previous reports had suggested that the screen could measure around 6.47 inches, so the latest claim points to a very similar size.

Could the Galaxy S27 Pro hit the right size balance?

Samsung has followed a fairly predictable size strategy with its Galaxy S lineup in recent years. The standard model has usually stayed around the 6.3-inch mark, while the Plus variant has offered a larger 6.7-inch display.

If the Galaxy S27 Pro does arrive with a 6.5-inch screen, it could sit neatly between the two. That may appeal to users who want something more compact than the Plus or Ultra models, but still do not want to give up too much screen space.

The tipster also claims that the Galaxy S27 Pro will not include S Pen support. That feature is expected to remain exclusive to the Ultra model.

The battery upgrade is where things get more interesting

The more interesting detail here is the battery capacity. The Galaxy S27 Pro is said to come with a 5,000mAh battery, which may not sound impressive when compared with some recent Android flagships. However, within Samsung’s own lineup, it would still be a meaningful upgrade.

For context, the Galaxy S26 Ultra, which launched in February 2026, also came with a 5,000mAh battery. The Galaxy S27 Pro would also offer slightly more capacity than the Galaxy S26+, which launched with a 4,900mAh battery.

Samsung has often moved slowly with battery and charging upgrades, so a 5,000mAh cell in the new Pro model would likely be welcomed by Galaxy fans. The rest of the package sounds promising as well. The S27 Pro is also rumored to share the Ultra model’s primary and ultrawide cameras, with the zoom lens being the main area where Samsung could create some separation between the two.

If that turns out to be accurate, the Galaxy S27 Pro could become a very easy sell for buyers who want much of the Ultra experience without going all the way up to Samsung’s largest and most expensive flagship.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8: Everything we know about the upcoming clamshell folding phone
Of the three phones expected to arrive at Galaxy Unpacked, the Flip 8 is shaping up to be the most underwhelming.
Three Galaxy Z Flip 7 models next to each other

The Fold 8 Ultra could get a sharper display, a more powerful chipset, a new camera, and a larger battery. Samsung’s purported wider foldable, the Fold 8, is expected to solve the most common problem with tall-body, narrow cover screens by adopting a new aspect ratio. The Flip 8, on the other hand, could only debut with a new chip, and not a Snapdragon one. 

The Flip 7 wasn’t a bad clamshell by any measure. However, it's been one year, and the memory crisis has already hit the smartphone market hard. In a tricky cost-to-margin situation, the Flip 8 could end up getting a price hike without any major improvements, and that might not sit well with potential buyers.

The feature gives you quick access to your phone number, email addresses, and other personal details while also adding a faster way to share them with others. The update is arriving with Google Contacts version 4.83.13.940538822 and is rolling out widely (via 9to5Google).
