Leaked details about the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S27 series suggest that the new smartphones may not see significant upgrades in RAM and storage compared to the previous Galaxy S26 models. This comes amid a broader industry challenge, driven in part by the increasing demand for resources from AI data centers, which has made components like RAM and storage more expensive and scarce. According to a reliable South Korean leaker known as Lanzuk, via GSMArena, the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27 Plus are expected to feature 12GB of RAM with either 256GB or 512GB of storage. These specifications are the same as those found in the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus, though the S26 line also offered a 128GB version, which is not present in the new models. The Galaxy S27 Ultra, meanwhile, is rumored to offer 12GB of RAM with 256GB or 512GB of storage, along with a higher-end model featuring 16GB of RAM and 1TB of storage—similar to the S26 Ultra. The rumored Galaxy S27 Pro, a smaller version of the Ultra, is expected to come with 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB, 512GB, and 1TB. However, it will not include the 16GB of RAM found in the top-tier Ultra model. Despite this, some models in the S27 series may use newer, faster components. These include LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.1 storage, which would be significantly faster than the components used in the Galaxy S26 series. However, these upgrades are likely limited to the highest-end storage configurations. The lack of major upgrades in RAM and storage could help keep the Galaxy S27 series affordable, especially if Samsung maintains current pricing. However, the cost of the latest Qualcomm chipsets, which are expected to be used in the new phones, may still lead to higher prices overall. As a result, while the Galaxy S27 series may not offer substantial improvements in performance for most users, the situation reflects a broader industry trend where technological advancements are being tempered by supply chain challenges and rising component costs.
