> ETNews puts next year's Galaxy S27 production near 35 million, with the Ultra and the new Pro making up over 70% of it.

Samsung is planning around 35 million [Galaxy S27 phones](https://idevice.com/phones/galaxy-s/roadmap) for next year, and more than half of them are Ultras. [ETNews reported the split, per SammyGuru](https://sammyguru.com/samsung-galaxy-s27-series-production-estimates/): 18 million Ultras, 7 to 8 million of the new Pro, and 9 to 10 million shared between the S27 and S27+.

Put the top two together and you get 25 to 26 million phones, over 70% of the plan. The Pro is a first-year model and it's already close to the two regular phones combined. Samsung sees buyers for near-Ultra specs in a smaller phone, including owners of a base model who'd move up.

We've covered the report that the Pro gets the Ultra's Privacy Display, and the one saying the S27 and S27+ could start with 8GB of RAM to keep the price down. Both point the same way as these numbers: more of the range's appeal sits at the top.

Analysts expect smartphone sales to slow next year as parts cost more, and memory prices have already pushed phone prices up. Samsung also needs the Pro to win people over without pulling too many buyers away from the Ultra. The Ultra has made up about half of Galaxy S sales in the past, so the plan has it holding that share.

Samsung hasn't announced the Pro or a price, and the series is expected in early 2027. If you want a smaller Galaxy with top specs, the S27 Pro is the one to hold out for. Its price will decide how good that deal is.
