THE Samsung Galaxy A27 5G (SM-A276B/U) has just resurfaced in new leaks, and this mid-range model risks overshadowing the brand’s flagships. Renderings and accessories outline a smartphone which, from the front and back, strongly resembles a Samsung Galaxy S26 sold around €999. Between the flat frame, vertical photo block and matte finish, everything is reminiscent of a $1,000 model (around €930). The technical sheet circulating confirms that Samsung is no longer content with recycling the design of the Samsung Galaxy A26 5G (SM-A266).
Behind the scenes, the references SM-A276B and SM-A276U were spotted on Geekbench 6revealing a passage to Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 and to Android 16. Rumors also speak of a 4K selfie camera, a 5,000 mAh battery and much faster charging. Enough to make it the most tempting alternative to Samsung Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+ And Galaxy S26 Ultra for those who watch their budget. It remains to be seen what all this gives in practice, and especially at what price in France.
Galaxy A27: a Galaxy S26 design for a much lower price?
According to several leaks, the Samsung Galaxy A27 5G takes up almost line for line the visual language of the Galaxy S26. There are three vertically aligned sensors, straight edges and a matte back which prevents fingerprints. The first shells confirm a format very close to the Samsung Galaxy A26 5Gwith refined screen borders which reinforce the impression of holding a flagship.
An Asian media even mentions a mid-range smartphone with a “Galaxy S flagship design”, with a premium finish and possible certification IP67 / IP68. Given that the A26 already offered theIP67it would be logical for the A27 to retain serious protection against water and dust, rare below the €400 mark. Add reinforced glass and a discreet photo module, and you get a device that, on social networks, will easily pass for a €1,000 model.

Samsung Galaxy A27 5G: what are its technical sheet, 4K selfie and battery worth?
On the performance side, the passage ofExynos 1380 At Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 changes the situation. On Geekbench 6the A27 would turn around 777 points in single core and 1,802 in multi core. The figures are a little behind the A26, but this SoC focused on efficiency should hold up better and offer a more modern modem for gaming and 5G.
The photo card should hardly move at the back, but the selfie would increase to 12 Mpx with 4K video at 30 fps, as on the Galaxy A37 5G, Galaxy A57 5G and the series Galaxy S26. Everything would be powered by a 5,000 mAh battery, with 45 W charging mentioned by several sources, compared to only 25 W on the A26.
Galaxy A27: release, price and place against the Galaxy S26?
Expected in 2026 with Galaxy A37 5G And Galaxy A57 5Gthe A27 would arrive under One UI 8.5 (Android 16) with software tracking. Its price should be around €350 to €400, very far from the €999 of Samsung Galaxy S26. For a third of the price of an S26, we would end up with an almost identical look, a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen at 120 Hz, a 5,000 mAh battery, potentially 45 W charging and a 4K selfie, enough to seriously shake up the mid-range in 2026.
