Samsung has accidentally leaked its most exciting budget phone in years – the Galaxy A27. The upcoming A26 successor is expected to feature a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chip, a modern punch-hole design with slim bezels, and a 120Hz display, positioning it as a real contender in the €300 price segment.
Samsung has unintentionally revealed the imminent launch of the Galaxy A27, which could be its most premium budget Galaxy phone yet.
Earlier this year, the Korean tech giant officially introduced the mid-range Galaxy A37 and Galaxy A57 in March. However, the entry-level star of the lineup, the Galaxy A27, was notably missing—until now.
The confirmation didn’t come through a formal announcement but rather a slip-up on Samsung’s regional support pages. The Galaxy A27 appeared as a compatible device on Samsung’s Brazilian website in a section dedicated to Samsung Wallet. This oversight effectively confirms the phone’s existence and hints at an official launch in the near future.
Why the Galaxy A27 Could Be Samsung’s Best €300 Phone Yet
If recent reports are accurate, the Galaxy A27 aims to bridge the gap between budget and mid-range phones better than any of its predecessors. Traditionally, the Galaxy A2x series has been associated with entry-level compromises, such as thick bezels and outdated waterdrop notches. However, the A27 is set to change that narrative with a bold redesign.
Leaked renders show that Samsung has replaced the “Infinity-V” notch with a sleek punch-hole cutout and significantly reduced the bottom bezel (compared to the Galaxy A26). By adopting the design language of the pricier Galaxy A5x series, the A27 offers a modern, premium look at a budget-friendly price.
Leaked Specs: Galaxy A27’s Impressive Features
Under the hood, the Galaxy A27 borrows from the Galaxy A36’s playbook, featuring the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset, as revealed by recent Geekbench listings.
Here’s a breakdown of the leaked specs:
- Display: 6.7-inch FHD+ LCD with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
- Memory: 6GB RAM, with a possible 8GB variant in select regions.
- Camera: 50MP main sensor, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and 2MP macro lens.
- Battery: 5,000 mAh capacity.
With the Galaxy A57 moving into higher price brackets, the A27’s combination of modern design, solid performance, and long-term software support (up to 6 years of OS updates) could make it the go-to choice for Samsung fans in 2026. However, its success may hinge on whether it stays close to the €300 price point of the Galaxy A26, especially given the ongoing memory shortage.
