Cross-corroborated by Samsung's own slip-ups earlier in 2026 — model number SM-A276 surfaced on Samsung Wallet's compatibility list and the device was briefly referenced on Samsung Brazil's website. Partial A27 leaks have also circulated in the wider tech press over the past months; the press materials seen by MyMobiles fill in the complete spec sheet and colourway lineup.
Three colours in the leaked renders
The Galaxy A27 arrives in three finishes: Light Pink, Blue, and Black. Samsung is sticking to a restrained palette this generation — gone are some of the cooler pastels seen on the Galaxy A26, replaced by more universal options aimed at a broader audience.

The leaked press materials don't specify the A27's panel type or refresh rate. The A26's 6.7-inch Super AMOLED at 120 Hz would be the natural inheritance, but neither spec is stated in the documents we've seen.
What changes vs. the Galaxy A26
The A27 is a careful refresh of the A26 formula. Five changes worth noting:
Exynos out, Snapdragon in. The A26 ran on Samsung's own Exynos 1380. The A27 switches to Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 — a meaningful platform shift for the mid-range A-series, which has been Exynos-first across Europe and Asia for several generations. The switch to Qualcomm is likely to improve efficiency and app responsiveness versus the Exynos 1380.
The body grows wider. Dimensions go from 162 × 76.5 × 7.7 mm on the A26 to 162.4 × 78.2 × 7.8 mm on the A27 — 1.7 mm wider and 0.1 mm thicker, with height and weight (~200 g) unchanged. The 6.7-inch display carries over.
Ultrawide and selfie cameras step down. The ultrawide drops from 8 MP on the A26 to 5 MP on the A27. The front camera drops from 13 MP to 12 MP. The 50 MP OIS main and 2 MP macro carry over unchanged. The downgrade direction is unusual at this tier — normally mid-range refreshes hold or improve sensor specs, not reduce them.
microSD expansion drops. The A26 supported microSDXC up to 1 TB. The A27 spec sheet explicitly says expandable storage is not supported — a notable cut for a mid-range device whose audience has historically valued the flexibility.
Android 16 with One UI 8.5. The A26 shipped with Android 15 and One UI 7. The A27 jumps a full OS generation to Android 16 and One UI 8.5, putting it ahead of the curve for a mid-ranger.
When to expect it
The Galaxy A27 has had an unusual run-up. Samsung's own accidental leaks earlier in 2026 — model number SM-A276 surfacing on Samsung Wallet's compatibility list, plus a passing reference on Samsung Brazil's own website — confirmed the device existed but suggested it wouldn't make Samsung's usual March A-series window. Industry reporting at the time pointed to delays driven by rising memory component costs, with the A57 and A37 carrying the early-2026 launch slate instead.
The press materials we have access to confirm the A27 is still on the way. Q1 2026 has now passed without an announcement, and the finalised press renders and full spec sheet circulating in late May point to a launch window in the second half of 2026 — most plausibly June through August, with retail availability following shortly after.
| Device | Announcement | Available |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A27 | Expected mid-to-late 2026 | TBC |
| Galaxy A26 | 2 March 2025 | 19 March 2025 |
| Galaxy A25 | 11 December 2023 | 16 December 2023 |
MyMobiles take
The Galaxy A27 keeps Samsung's volume mid-range formula intact — familiar design language, the same 50 MP OIS main camera carried over from the A26, and the platform shift from Exynos to Snapdragon. The trade-offs are more visible than usual at this tier: the ultrawide and selfie cameras step down, and microSD expansion is gone — both consumer-unfriendly cuts for a line whose buyers have historically valued exactly those features.
