alongside the base, Plus, and Ultra models Samsung could be going from three Galaxy S models to four next year, and were not talking about a return of the Edge line. Instead, the company might launch a new Pro phone.

This is according to a report in ETNews (via 9to5Google ), and while this
isnt quite the first time weve heard of a Pro-branded Galaxy phone ( rumors
of a Galaxy S26 Pro swirled last year), there are some new details here. For one thing, it will reportedly have a screen thats just 6.47 inches in size, making it only marginally larger than the 6.3-inch Samsung Galaxy S26, and much smaller than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra or Plus. The other new detail is that the new phone will apparently launch alongside the Samsung Galaxy
S27, Galaxy S27 Plus, and Galaxy S27 Ultra, rather than instead of one of them. Latest Videos From You may like Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra rumored to

Unpacked event of 2026 Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra Small but mighty So, what will the Galaxy S27 Pro offer thats different from the base Galaxy S27? Well, as the name suggests, this will apparently have
far higher-end specs, putting it more in line with the Ultra model, albeit without S Pen support.

In other words, this would be a compact option for people who still want high-end specs and features. How successful that will be remains to be seen, but it would mean Samsung finally offers a device thats more of a direct
rival to the iPhone 17 Pro , so it makes a certain amount of sense.

And early reactions are largely positive, with people on Reddit saying things like this will be amazing, thats so good Im buying that one next time, and so excited about this possibility. So, it sounds like Samsung might be on to something.

Of course, the Galaxy S27 Pro is just a rumor for now, but if it does exist, it will probably launch in early 2027, alongside the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S27 series. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox
