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.

AI's demand for memory chips has made budget smartphones unprofitable to build.

That $100 phone you were going to grab for your kid's first device, or hand down to grandma, could become a dream in a while. AI's hunger for memory chips just made the entire budget phone category borderline impossible to build.

So how bad are we actually talking?

Buying your next Apple device could soon look like leasing a car. Apple is launching its new Apple Upgrade program on Tuesday, July 28, replacing new enrollments in the long-running iPhone Upgrade Program with a lease-based option that covers iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple Watches.

Backed by Klarna, the program is designed to lower the upfront cost of Apple's premium devices, but it is also raising questions about whether you'll actually own what you're paying for.

Setting up your dorm desk? These are the phone stands I’d actually spend my money on
From a $2 folding stand to a three-in-one Apple charging dock, these are the phone stands worth setting up this semester.
Analog Clock, Clock, Electronics

A phone stand is one of the smallest purchases on any back-to-school list, but it's also one of the easiest to get wrong, especially since there are dozens of options available on Amazon. A good phone stand is one that does its job well and, more importantly, doesn't put much of a dent in your budget.

This is one of those product categories where you don’t need to spend big, unless a MagSafe dock or a multi-device charging stand is genuinely useful for your desk or dorm setup. That is why this list begins with the most affordable options and works its way up to the more expensive ones. From a two-pack that costs about as much as a coffee to a three-in-one Apple charging station, I picked eight of Amazon's best-reviewed phone stands worth considering this back-to-school season.
