## What will it have? (today's facts are from Samsung Galaxy S26)

- **Will the battery last longer?** No runtime figure has been reported for the S27. The Galaxy S26 runs 30 hours of video playback on a 4,300mAh cell. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-the-battery-last-longer))
- **Will it cost more?** Reported: Reported European pricing runs €799 for 128GB and €1,099 for 512GB. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-it-cost-more))
- **Will it still handle a shower or a swim?** Almost certainly yes. The Galaxy S26 is IP68, which covers a shower and a soaking but not laps in a pool, and every Galaxy S has carried that rating for years. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-it-still-handle-a-shower-or-a-swim))
- **Will it have more storage?** Nothing has been reported. The Galaxy S26 comes in 256GB and 512GB. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-it-have-more-storage))
- **Will the screen change?** Not in size, on SamMobile's reporting, which gives the base S27 the same 6.3 inches. The S26's panel runs adaptively from 1Hz to 120Hz. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-the-screen-change))
- **Will the screen be bigger?** Reportedly not. SamMobile puts the base S27 at 6.3 inches, the same as the Galaxy S26. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-the-screen-be-bigger))
- **Will it do 5G?** Yes, expect so. The Galaxy S26 covers 5G on the sub-6 bands and no Galaxy S has shipped without 5G. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-it-do-5g))
- **Will it charge faster?** Possibly, but not on the base model. Samsung's certification filings in China rate the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra for 60W wired charging, and say nothing about the standard phone. The Galaxy S26 reaches about 55% in 30 minutes at 25W. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-it-charge-faster))
- **Will it be lighter?** Nothing has been reported about the base model's weight. The Galaxy S26 is 167g. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-it-be-lighter))
- **Will the camera be better?** The camera leaks so far disagree with each other, and Samsung has said nothing. The Galaxy S26 shoots on a 50MP main camera, one of three on the back, alongside a 12MP ultrawide and a 10MP 3x telephoto, with a 12MP camera on the front. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-the-camera-be-better))
- **Will it shoot better video?** Nothing has been reported. The Galaxy S26 already shoots 8K at 30fps and 4K at 60fps. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-it-shoot-better-video))
- **Will it connect any differently?** Expect the same connections. The Galaxy S26 runs Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4, and SamMobile lists NFC and USB-C among the S27's expected features. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-it-connect-any-differently))
- **Will the battery be bigger?** Samsung Galaxy S26 today: The battery is 4300 mAh. Expected: A rated 5,087mAh implies about 5,200mAh typical. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-will-the-battery-be-bigger))
- **What colours will it come in?** The S27's finishes have not leaked. The Galaxy S26 comes in six, including two that are Samsung.com exclusives. ([on the Guide](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap#can-what-colours-will-it-come-in))
