Samsung Galaxy A27 Shows Up in CAD Renders with Punch Hole Screen & Slim Bezels

A recent Geekbench listing gave away the Galaxy A27. The phone is late, but not exactly discontinued. The rest of the A series devices have already gone official, and the only one left is the Samsung Galaxy A27. We’ve found a bunch of CAD renders that preview this newcomer in great detail.

It has the same look as the Galaxy A37 and A57. There’s a familiar Key Island on the side, not to mention the rear unified camera plateau, which covers all three lenses. Galaxy A26 had all the same elements last year, nothing new. But they did upgrade the screen.

They’ve worked on the front side of Samsung's latest Galaxy mobile. This newcomer doesn’t have a notch like last year. It has a punch hole instead, with thinner bezels and a less noticeable chin. Perhaps those upgrades are the reason Galaxy A27 is late.

Galaxy A27 is clearly stepping into Galaxy A37’s territory with its new look, and it could devour a few sales from that particular category. These two devices have never looked more similar. Anyway, the source for this render leak had the phone’s dimensions as well.

It’s a little thicker than last time. The frame has gone up to 7.9mm. And the phone is a bit shorter at 162.3mm with a wider 78.6mm chassis. There are a few reports that Galaxy A27 could reuse the 6.7” AMOLED (punch hole) at an FHD+ 1080p resolution. 

The refresh rate would be 120Hz as always. Then comes the performance. Apparently, the chipset used by the Galaxy A36 last year is now being installed on the Galaxy A27. It’s the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 5G. There’s possibly 6GB RAM on the base trim. 

25W charging will reappear. No changes are made to the battery either, as it’s still a 5000mAh cell. That’s been the case for at least three generations now. They’ll probably rely on software optimizations for extra endurance. We’ll let you know when we have more details. Keep watching the news.
