Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is set to introduce incremental but meaningful updates to its flagship Galaxy S27 series, expected to launch in January or February 2025. Leaked component information indicates the Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra will feature an enhanced Privacy Display with increased brightness, building on the angled-view limitation introduced on this year's flagship devices. The feature, which limits viewing angles to protect user privacy, will have improved display brightness compared to previous iterations, though details on overall display quality improvements remain scarce. Samsung is not expected to equip the standard Galaxy S27 or S27+ with the Privacy Display capability, a distinction that aligns with the Pro model potentially taking the place of the current Ultra in the lineup.
On the charging front, certification listings from Chinese and Korean regulatory databases confirm the Galaxy S27+ will support 45W fast charging across all regional variants, including global (SM-S956B), Korean (SM-S956N), US (SM-S956U), Chinese (SM-S9560), and Japanese (SC-52H) models. The 45W speed matches the Galaxy S26+, continuing a trend that has seen Plus models charge at this speed since the S22+ series. The vanilla Galaxy S27 is also rumored to retain 25W charging, consistent with the S26 model.
More on Samsung: The company is expected to launch the Galaxy S27 series in early 2025, though no specific launch date has been nailed down. The certification listings cover pretty much every version of the handset, suggesting Samsung aims for consistent charging speeds regardless of market. As the launch window approaches, more details are expected to confirm the feature set and availability for the entire S27 lineup.
