According to a new leak, Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra could weigh 218 grams while maintaining the same 7,9 mm thickness as it is now Galaxy S26 UltraAnd while this may seem like negative news, it is balanced by the fact that the battery capacity should jump to 5,700 mAh.
About the line Galaxy S27 we already know quite a lot, even though we won't officially get to know it until the end of January next year. Fresh news from a reliable leakera Ice Universe mentions that the top of the range will retain a thickness of 7,9 mm, but should weigh 218 g. In contrast to the iPhone 18 Pro Max It's still nothing, because it weighs 249 g, but compared to Galaxy S26 Ultra it is an increase of 4 g (Galaxy S25 Ultra was 8,2 mm in the waist and weighed 218 g).

I dare say that you will be able to forgive this increase in the upcoming novelty, as it will be due to a significantly larger battery. It should have a capacity of 5,700 mAh, which is a full 700 mAh more than the current one. Galaxy S26 UltraSamsung can achieve this increase in battery capacity in two ways:
- By redesigning the design
- By switching to a silicon-carbon battery
And actually, a combination of both. According to leaks, we know that Samsung wants to throw out the superfluous 3x telephoto lens from its flagship and fundamentally redesign the module along the lines of the iPhone 17 Pro. But we also know that a number of Galaxy The Z8 contains a new generation of batteries that can offer greater capacity in a smaller space, so we logically expect it even in the TOP model of classic design.

And now the bad news
The RAM crisis, or RAMageddon, shows no sign of abating as AI companies continue to greedily snap up memory and other key components that smartphones need. This has already led to higher prices for consumer electronics, and even Samsung was in trouble in 2018. 2026 forced to raise prices not only of its smartphones, but also of its tablets three times. But it will also affect the next Galaxy S27.
Leaker eyes1122 reports that Samsung plans to increase prices across the range Galaxy S27, where the increase will likely affect “various storage capacities and models.” In the domestic market, the increase could range from 100,000 won to more than 130,000 won (approximately $74 to $96). These are figures for the market, but it’s probably clear to everyone that it will be at some level everywhere in the world.

For completeness and if we look at the American market, the prices Galaxy S26 increased in most variant (except for the basic S26 Ultra). Galaxy S26 started at $900 for the base 256GB variantu, which was $100 more than 128GB Galaxy S25 and $40 more for 256GB varianta. In other words, don't be surprised if even the cheapest Galaxy S27 will boot from more than 950 USB.
