A new rumor indicates Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra will use Snapdragon chipsets in South Korea, reversing previous expectations. Tipster yeux1122 claims the decision is driven by cost reduction during design and component selection. The Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, while the S27 Pro will use the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6.
Earlier reports suggested Samsung might use its own Exynos 2700 in Korea and Europe, but the company is reconsidering this strategy. If finalized, this would mark a continued shift back to Qualcomm processors for Samsung's top-tier devices in the region. Meanwhile, the standard Galaxy S27 and S27+ are expected to use the Exynos 2700 in most markets, with Snapdragon variants likely reserved for North America.
Samsung's Galaxy S27 series is rumored to debut in early 2027 with upgraded hardware, an improved Privacy Display on Pro and Ultra models, and a redesigned rear camera module on both top-tier variants.
