- About 30% remains for the base S27 and S27+
- S26 Ultra was about 50% of its series, at 18 million units

Samsung reportedly plans to give more than 70% of Galaxy S27 series production to the Galaxy S27 Ultra and a new Galaxy S27 Pro, according to ETNews, as reported by 9to5Google and Notebookcheck. The remaining roughly 30% would go to the base Galaxy S27 and the larger Galaxy S27+.
For comparison, the Galaxy S26 Ultra accounted for about 50% of that series' production volume, totaling 18 million units. Samsung reportedly intends to keep the S27 Ultra at around 18 million units, while the S27 Pro takes about 7 or 8 million units out of the usual 35 million total.
Around 20% of sales that would have gone to the regular S27 or S27+ are expected to move upmarket to the more expensive S27 Pro. The S27 Pro is said to carry features usually reserved for the Ultra tier, such as Privacy Display and a matching design, but without an S Pen and at a lower price. It is expected to sit near the typical price of the Plus model and won't be much smaller than the S27+.
Notebookcheck says the shift is driven by rising component costs and a reliance on larger profit margins from high-end offerings. Samsung reportedly also plans to scale down production of low-end and mid-range Galaxy A phones.
Pricing is unclear. One leak suggests $900 for the Galaxy S27, $1,099 for the S27 Plus, $1,299 for the S27 Pro and $1,399 for the S27 Ultra, while Notebookcheck separately says the phones could start at $900 for the base model and $1,400 for the Ultra. The lineup is expected to launch in early 2027, and Samsung has made no official announcement on a launch date or availability.
