Exynos Galaxy S27 Pro chip and memory advantage, Digi Mart USA News: Samsung’s chip plans for the Galaxy S27 series may differ by region, according to an unverified leak reported by Notebookcheck. The source cites a post from a Meeco user known as 흡혈귀왕 (Vampire King), dated November 6, which lists the Korean Galaxy S27, Galaxy S27+ and Galaxy S27 Pro as using an Exynos chip.
Only the Galaxy S27 Ultra is listed as using a Snapdragon chip in Korea.
The leaker attributes this split to Samsung headquarters not wanting to exceed the project’s budget. The source says the allocation was reportedly checked the week before and had not changed.
The European lineup appears different, with the Galaxy S27 Pro model SM-S957B/DS reportedly using Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 in trade records. In Europe, the Exynos 2700 is reportedly limited to the Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+.
A follow-up post dated November 12 claims Samsung plans to offer LPDDR6 memory only on the 1 TB Galaxy S27 Pro. According to that post, this variant pairs 1 TB of UFS 5.0 storage with 16 GB of LPDDR6 RAM instead of 12 GB.
The source notes that Qualcomm reserves LPDDR6 for the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6, while the standard Gen 6 is limited to LPDDR5X. As a result, the Snapdragon-powered Pro sold in Europe would reportedly stay on LPDDR5X regardless of storage tier.
The source states that the Meeco posts are unverified and that configurations can change before launch. Samsung has not set a launch date, and current projections place the Unpacked event in January or February 2027. Pricing for the upcoming phones has not been announced.
