HotEUDeals has collaborated with Steve Hemmerstoffer (OnLeaks) to provide the first look at the Samsung Galaxy A27 through high-resolution CAD renders and a 360-degree video. These visuals offer the most detailed perspective yet of the Galaxy A26 successor, arriving significantly ahead of its anticipated retail debut later in 2026.

Samsung Galaxy A27 dimensions and design
Based on the data provided by OnLeaks, the Galaxy A27 will feature dimensions of approximately 162.3 x 78.6 x 7.9 mm. When accounting for the rear camera housing, the thickness increases to 10.0 mm at its deepest point. Comparing this to the Galaxy A26 (164.0 x 77.5 x 7.7 mm), the new model is slightly shorter and wider, with a marginal increase in thickness.
The most notable aesthetic upgrade is found on the display. Samsung has finally retired the “Infinity-U” waterdrop notch seen on the Galaxy A26, replacing it with a modern, centered punch-hole cutout for the selfie camera. This change brings the A2x series visually in line with Samsung’s more expensive mid-range offerings like the A37 and A57. The screen remains a flat panel measuring roughly 6.7 inches.
The rear of the device reveals a triple-lens camera array accompanied by an LED flash. While the core layout mirrors its predecessor, the camera “island” has received a subtle redesign. Beyond the punch-hole display, the device maintains a familiar silhouette, emphasizing evolution over a total design overhaul.
A note on technical accuracy: these renders are built using engineering CAD files. While they are highly reliable for determining dimensions and overall form factor, secondary details such as final bezel thinness, SIM tray placement, or exact retail color finishes may vary slightly on the final production units.
Comparison: Galaxy A27 vs. Galaxy A26
While the exterior is now visible, the internal specifications remain a mystery. Details regarding the chipset, RAM, battery capacity, and charging speeds were not included in this data set and have yet to be confirmed.
| Spec | Galaxy A27 | Galaxy A26 |
|---|---|---|
| Display | ~6.7 inch flat | 6.7 inch flat |
| Front camera | Punch-hole | Infinity-U (waterdrop) |
| Dimensions | 162.3 x 78.6 x 7.9 mm | 164.0 x 77.5 x 7.7 mm |
| Max thickness | 10.0 mm (with camera bump) | Not disclosed |
| Rear cameras | Triple + LED flash | Triple + LED flash |
Expected release window
Samsung has not confirmed a timeline, and the CAD files do not carry a release date. The A-series has historically refreshed on a near-yearly cadence, but the gap has widened - the A26 arrived roughly fifteen months after the A25 rather than the traditional twelve.
| Device | Announcement | Retail launch |
|---|---|---|
| Galaxy A27 | Not yet announced | |
| Galaxy A26 | March 2, 2025 | March 19, 2025 |
| Galaxy A25 | December 11, 2023 | December 2023 |
HotEUDeals take
The A27 reads as a practical, iterative refresh. The shift from the Infinity-U notch to a punch-hole camera modernizes the face and brings the mid-range A-series visually in line with Samsung’s more expensive models, but the rest of the industrial design - dimensions, 6.7-inch flat display, triple-camera layout - stays within the A26’s template. Evolution over reinvention.
The commercial context is the more interesting story. The A26 launched at £299 / €299 in March 2025 and now sits regularly below £170 / €200 on Amazon’s European storefronts - roughly a 40 percent drop within fourteen months. A-series pricing has followed this curve generation after generation, and the A27 is unlikely to be the exception.
For the A27 specifically, that means early buyers will pay a premium against what the same device will cost roughly a year on. The interesting price point, as with every A-series before it, arrives well after the launch cycle.
