Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro leaked render shows off differences from the S27 Ultra
Aug 27, 2026 — 5:43 AM ET

- Leaked renders suggest both the Galaxy S27 Ultra and S27 Pro will adopt a new iPhone 17 Pro-style camera plateau instead of Samsung’s signature vertical camera island.
- The Galaxy S27 Pro could share the Ultra’s design language but skip the S Pen slot and swap the positions of the speaker grille and microphone hole.
- Design leaks also suggest a rounder frame edges on the Galaxy S27 Ultra/Pro for an easier grip, alongside slightly narrower screen bezels on the S27 Plus.
The latest Galaxy S27 Ultra render leaks have shown off a polarizing design that doesn’t seem unique at all. The biggest visible change is the camera island, with the leak suggesting that Samsung could be going for an iPhone 17 Pro-esque camera plateau instead of its hallmark vertical camera setup. Render leaks for the base S27 suggest that the design change isn’t trickling across the lineup. If you’re wondering where the Galaxy S27 Pro would place in this situation, a new render gives us our answer and highlights the biggest possible difference between the Pro and Ultra.
Leaker Ice Universe has shared outline renders of the Galaxy S27 Ultra and Galaxy S27 Pro on X:
Take a closer look below:
For better or worse, the Galaxy S27 Pro could follow the Galaxy S27 Ultra’s design language, including the camera plateau. This was half-expected, since the Galaxy S27 Pro is said to share most of its specifications with the S27 Ultra, except for the S Pen. Indeed, the S27 Pro renders do not include a slot for the S Pen, and Samsung seems to have swapped the position of the speaker grille and microphone hole, too.
Ice Universe also shared another render on X comparing the bottom edges of the Galaxy S27 Ultra with those of the Galaxy S26 Ultra:
The camera plateau changes are visible in this render, but Ice Universe is highlighting the rounder edge of the frame. These softer edges help make the phone easier to grip than harder-angled ones, so we can expect the Galaxy S27 Ultra (and the Galaxy S27 Pro) to be easier to hold.
On the topic of Samsung flagships, Ice Universe also shared a front render for the Galaxy S27 Plus on X, mentioning that its screen bezel will be narrower than the previous generation:
The Galaxy S26 Plus already has thin bezels, so it’s unlikely most people will notice the Galaxy S27 Plus reducing them even further. Still, that’s one change in the spec sheet over last year that Samsung can boast about.
We’re still plenty of months away from the Galaxy S27 release, so leaks should continue to flow in the runup. We’ll keep you updated when we learn more. For now, we’re bracing ourselves for more Android phones to look similar to the iPhone 17 Pro.
