News about the specifications of the Samsung Galaxy A27 have been circulating on the Internet for a while, and recently this mid-range new phone has finally been officially revealed. Samsung’s Czech official website put the Galaxy A27 on the shelves without warning, directly ending recent rumors. This generation of models has made obvious changes in hardware. The most concerning of these must be the conversion of the processor, but at the same time, there are also signs of compromise in some specifications.
In terms of hardware specifications, the Galaxy A27 abandons the common Exynos 1280 and 1380 chips of the previous generation and is equipped with a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor. This is undoubtedly good news for users who prefer Qualcomm chips. The memory and storage space provides 6GB or 8GB RAM, paired with 128GB or 256GB ROM combination, which is enough to meet daily and general entertainment needs.
On the front of the fuselage, Galaxy A27 is equipped with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen that supports FHD+ resolution and 120Hz screen refresh rate, providing a smooth visual experience. It is worth noting that this generation has finally switched to a more modern-looking punch-hole screen design, but the pixels of the front lens have dropped slightly from the 13-megapixel of the Galaxy A26 to the 12-megapixel of the current generation.
As for the camera module on the back of the phone, there was also a strange situation of “falling instead of rising”. Although the main lens remains at a practical 50-megapixel camera and supports OIS optical anti-shake, and is equipped with a 2-megapixel macro lens, the ultra-wide-angle lens has been reduced from the previous generation’s 8-megapixel camera to 5-megapixel camera. In addition, the protection level has also been weakened, from the IP67 dustproof and waterproof level of the Galaxy A26 to the IP64 specification that only supports water splash resistance.
In terms of battery life and software support, Galaxy A27 continues to have a built-in 5000mAh large-capacity battery and continues to use 25W wired fast charging. The phone will be preloaded with the OneUI 8.5 system based on Android 16 when it leaves the factory. The official has also promised to provide up to six years of Android system version upgrades and security updates, which greatly extends the life cycle of the phone.
Currently, the Galaxy A27 is available in four color options: black, blue, light green and pink. Although the official website has not yet announced the exact price, according to earlier news, the European price of the 6GB+128GB version is expected to be 349 euros, while the 8GB+256GB version may be priced at 439 euros. It is believed that details of the offering in the Hong Kong market will be announced in the short term.
