Samsung is said to be preparing to launch the Galaxy S27 series early next year. The rumour mill has suggested that a new Pro model could join the lineup, which is expected to also comprise the Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Plus, and Galaxy S27 Ultra. Now, a new report claims Samsung could bring back its Exynos chipset to the top-end Galaxy S model. The Galaxy S27 Ultra is tipped to feature the Exynos 2700 in at least one market, potentially marking the first time since the Galaxy S22 Ultra that an Ultra-series model uses an Exynos SoC.

If accurate, the Galaxy S27 Ultra would be the first Ultra-branded Galaxy S smartphone to use an Exynos chipset since the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Samsung used Exynos and Snapdragon chipsets in different markets for the Galaxy S22 Ultra, before moving to a Snapdragon-only approach for subsequent Ultra models.

Leaked details about Exynos 2700 could also explain why Samsung appears to be considering the chip for its most premium Galaxy S model. Recent reports suggest the upcoming SoC could offer substantial improvements over previous generations, with Samsung reportedly focusing on CPU, GPU and AI performance.

An earlier leak has also claimed that the Exynos 2700 could feature a prime CPU core clocked at up to 5.0GHz. Leaked benchmarks have also suggested that the processor could compete more closely with Qualcomm's upcoming flagship silicon.

The Galaxy S27 series itself is expected to bring several changes. Alongside the regular Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27 Plus and Galaxy S27 Ultra, Samsung is reportedly planning a Galaxy S27 Pro variant. The Ultra model is also said to be getting a redesigned rear camera arrangement, with leaked information pointing towards a camera bump that bears similarities to the design language seen on recent iPhone Pro models.
