Galaxy A27 gets accidentally leaked by no other than Samsung

We're used to leaks and rumors from industry insiders and tipsters, but it's quite unusual when a big company accidentally leaks its next smartphone model.

This is exactly what happened with the Galaxy A27, the budget phone that Samsung is preparing to launch next.

The Korean company was so eager to get the phone out to the public that it accidentally published the full product page of the model on its official website for the Czech Republic, Sammobile reports.

The page was quickly removed, which suggests it was an honest mistake and not some clever marketing move. Amazing!

All Galaxy A27 specs are now out in the open

All the specs are now in the open, and we know everything about this new budget Samsung model.

The phone features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD+ resolution, and get this, a 120Hz refresh rate.

The phone also features a new design for its punch-hole camera, it's called Infinity-O and basically swaps the teardrop-shaped Infinity-U design of the previous model with a circular cutout.

What do you think about phone leaks ahead of their official launch?

Galaxy A27 features a triple camera system, but with a caveat

The camera system of the phone was featured in detail on the leaked product page. The Galaxy A27 sports a triple camera setup, but there's a small catch.

Alongside the 50MP main camera, there's a 5MP ultrawide, which is a decent setup for this price segment. But the third camera is a 2MP macro. We would've welcomed a telephoto of any kind but macro it is.

The selfie camera is also a decent one — a 12MP sensor that can also record 4K 30fps videos.

From Exynos to Snapdragon

Another change compared to the previous model is the move from the Exynos 1380 and 1280 (in some markets) to a Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset. This is not a powerhouse silicon but still a decent midrange octacore processor that can do AI, and it's built on a 4 nm node, meaning it's quite efficient as well.

The Galaxy A27 comes with 6GB of RAM, which is on the low side for an Android phone but still manageable, and two memory configurations for the onboard storage — 128GB and 256GB. What's really interesting is that the phone also sports a microSD slot, a feature that's been missing from flagship phones for quite some time now.

More Galaxy A27 specs and pricing

Further down the specs sheet we find that the Galaxy A27 runs Android 16-based One UI 8.5 out of the box, and according to the leaked page, the phone will receive six major OS updates.

There's Samsung DeX support, a 5,000 mAh battery, and 25W fast wired charging rounding out the specs.

The phone is also quite slim, measuring 7.7 mm in thickness, and it's 164 mm tall and 77.5 mm wide. There's IP64 dust and water resistance on board as well.

Samsung is launching the Galaxy A27 in Europe in four colors: Black, Blue, Light Green, and Pink. The starting price for the 128GB model is €349, while the 256GB version costs €439.
