As speculation around Samsung’s next flagship continues to build, a new round of leaks from tipster Tech Info on X has offered a fairly detailed early picture of what the Galaxy S27 Ultra could bring, spanning display, performance, camera, and battery specifications. A separate leak from tipster Galaxy Flash has since added further detail, particularly around thermal management and battery chemistry.
Display
According to Tech Info, the Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.9-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, capable of reaching peak brightness of up to 3,000 nits. The display is also said to be protected by Gorilla Glass Armor 2, Corning’s latest protective glass technology, offering improved scratch resistance and better anti-reflective properties compared to previous generations.
Performance and Memory
On the performance front, the leak points to a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipset, specifically the Galaxy-optimized variant Qualcomm has previously customized for Samsung’s flagship devices. This would be paired with LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage, both representing next-generation memory and storage standards that haven’t yet become widespread across the smartphone industry.
Separately, tipster Galaxy Flash claims the Galaxy S27 Ultra will use a 2nm SD8G6P processor, which appears to align with the same Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chip referenced in the earlier leak, suggesting some consistency between the two independent sources on this particular detail.
Camera System
The rear camera setup is rumored to be genuinely ambitious. According to the leak, the Galaxy S27 Ultra could feature a 200-megapixel primary sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS), paired with a 50-megapixel ultrawide camera, a 10-megapixel telephoto lens offering 3x zoom, and a second 50-megapixel periscope telephoto camera capable of 5x zoom. Up front, the device is expected to include a 16-megapixel selfie camera.
If accurate, this would represent one of the more comprehensive camera setups Samsung has offered on an Ultra-tier device, particularly with two distinct telephoto lenses covering different zoom ranges.
Battery and Charging
Battery details show some variation between the two leaks. Tech Info’s report points to a 5,700mAh battery, supporting 65W wired charging and Qi2 wireless charging. Qi2 support in particular would be a notable addition, offering improved wireless charging compatibility and efficiency compared to the original Qi standard.
Galaxy Flash’s separate leak, however, points to a 5,500mAh battery instead, though this version specifically claims the cell will use new silicon-carbon battery technology rather than traditional lithium-ion chemistry. Since silicon-carbon batteries generally offer higher energy density, a slightly smaller-capacity silicon-carbon battery could potentially deliver comparable or even better real-world battery life than a larger traditional lithium-ion cell, so these two figures aren’t necessarily contradictory once battery chemistry is factored in.
Software, Connectivity, and Security
The Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to ship with One UI 9 out of the box, Samsung’s latest software layer built on top of Android. On connectivity, the device is rumored to support Bluetooth 6.0 and Wi-Fi 7, both representing the newest available wireless standards.
For security, the leak points to a 3D ultrasonic fingerprint reader, a more advanced in-display fingerprint scanning technology than the standard optical sensors used in many current smartphones. S Pen support is also expected to continue, keeping the stylus functionality that has become a signature feature of Samsung’s Ultra lineup.
Thermal Management and Design Improvements
According to Galaxy Flash’s leak, Samsung is specifically focusing on power efficiency and heat management for the Galaxy S27 Ultra, attributing this to a new M16 display panel working in conjunction with the 2nm chipset. The leak also claims the device will include a new, larger cooling system compared to previous generations, suggesting Samsung may be prioritizing sustained performance during demanding tasks like gaming or extended camera use.
On the software side, this same leak suggests Samsung is aiming for a refined design approach paired with One UI 9.5, potentially a later software update following the initial One UI 9 release, while still working to conserve device resources for better overall efficiency.
What This Could Mean for the Galaxy S27 Ultra
Taken together, these two leaks paint a picture of a device receiving substantial upgrades across nearly every category, display technology, camera hardware, memory standards, connectivity, and thermal management. The specific emphasis on cooling and power efficiency, mentioned independently by Galaxy Flash, suggests Samsung may be directly addressing heat-related performance throttling, an area that’s occasionally drawn criticism on previous Galaxy Ultra models during sustained heavy use.
As with all early-stage leaks, especially ones this far ahead of an expected launch, these details should be treated as unconfirmed and potentially subject to change. The minor discrepancies between the two sources on battery capacity also highlight how leaked specifications can vary depending on when in the development cycle a particular leak originates. More concrete details are expected to surface as Samsung moves closer to an official Galaxy S27 series announcement.
