It is expected to share most of the Ultra\u2019s features but drop support for the S Pen.<\/p>\n<p>Junior Ultra, but why?<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"e_Wg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in hand showing Privacy Display quick settings\"  alt=\"Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra in hand showing Privacy Display quick settings\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Samsung-Galaxy-S26-Ultra-in-hand-showing-Privacy-Display-quick-settings.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Hadlee Simons \/ Android Authority<\/p>\n<p>Until now, the Ultra has been Samsung\u2019s only true no-compromise flagship. Introducing a Pro model that keeps most of the Ultra\u2019s core features, minus the S Pen, would effectively create a second premium device, giving buyers more flexibility at the top end of the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>But there may be a bigger strategy at play. The addition of a slightly watered-down flagship could signal that Samsung is getting ready to raise the Galaxy S27 Ultra\u2019s price next year.<\/p>\n<p>With prices for Samsung\u2019s older flagships already creeping up in some regions due to the ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/android-phones-ruined-ram-crisis-3649724\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RAM crisis<\/a>, the Pro model could act as a buffer, offering a near-Ultra experience for buyers who aren\u2019t willing to stretch to Samsung\u2019s most expensive flagship.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of Samsung&#8217;s rumored plans for the Galaxy S27 Pro?<\/p>\n<p>26 votes<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m love the idea of a Galaxy S27 Pro. It could be a great phone.<\/p>\n<p>27%<\/p>\n<p>I hate this idea. I think Samsung should just focus on making improvements.<\/p>\n<p>42%<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m worried it might drive up the price of the Galaxy S27 Ultra.<\/p>\n<p>19%<\/p>\n<p>I need more information to make up my mind.<\/p>\n<p>12%<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, it\u2019s too early to say what this new Pro model will bring to the table or whether Samsung will even raise prices next year. The report notes that specifics of the phone, like its display size, are still undecided.<\/p>\n<p>This time around, though, the rumored Galaxy S27 Pro is not meant to replace an existing model. Instead, it\u2019s being positioned as a strategic addition designed to broaden Samsung\u2019s premium smartphone offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The move also appears to be a direct response to Apple\u2019s iPhone lineup that includes two standard and two Pro models. In contrast, Samsung has long relied on a single Ultra model as its most premium and feature-packed smartphone.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
