The Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro was previously speculated to be a “mini Ultra” due to leaks suggesting a Privacy Display feature for its 6.47” screen. However, it has become clear that the Pro and Ultra models will be equipped with different telephoto cameras, although they will share the same main, ultra-wide, and selfie cameras.
Recent reports from Korea's Money Today indicate that the Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro will feature the Exynos 2700 chipset in all regions except North America. China typically receives Snapdragon chips, though this detail was not addressed in the report. In contrast, the S27 Ultra is set to utilize the new Snapdragon Elite chip on a global scale, solidifying the distinction between the two models.
The Exynos 2700 will be manufactured using Samsung’s SF2P process, offering a 26% reduction in power consumption and a 15% increase in clock speeds compared to the Exynos 2600’s SF2 technology. Samsung is also shifting from the traditional stacked design (with DRAM positioned above the chipset) to a Side-by-Side layout.
The Exynos 2600 uses a heat pass block to improve coolingThis new design positions the DRAM and chipset adjacent to each other, connected via a silicon interposer, enhancing heat transfer. Typically, heat from the chipset must pass through the DRAM before reaching the cooling block. Although initial benchmarks were unimpressive, it is worth noting that the test sample operated at lower clock speeds, with the top core running at just 2.88GHz, compared to the Exynos 2600's prime core at 3.8GHz and the Exynos 2700's expected maximum clock speed of 4.2GHz (targeting an ARM C2 Ultra core).
It is expected that the standard Samsung Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ will also be powered by the Exynos 2700 in most markets, again excluding North America and potentially China.
