Samsung’s next Plus-sized flagship may be a modest step forward. A tipster has shared a side-by-side look at the Galaxy S27+ and Galaxy S26+, and most numbers stay the same, with changes mainly in the chip, display generation and wireless charging.
This is a leak, not an official specification list, and Samsung has not announced the phone. See more on our Galaxy S27 tag page, and read about the brand at Samsung India.
Galaxy S26+ vs Galaxy S27+ (Leaked)
| Feature | Galaxy S26+ | Galaxy S27+ (leak) |
|---|---|---|
| Display | 6.7-inch AMOLED | 6.7-inch AMOLED |
| Panel generation | 120Hz M13 | 120Hz M14 |
| Resolution | WQHD+ | WQHD+ |
| Chipset | Exynos 2600 (2nm) | Exynos 2700 (2nm) |
| Main camera | 50MP | 50MP |
| Ultra-wide | 12MP | 12MP |
| Telephoto | 10MP 3x | 10MP 3x |
| Front camera | 12MP | 12MP |
| Battery | 4,900mAh | 4,900mAh (expected) |
| Charging | 45W + Qi2 | 45W + Qi2.2 |
| Durability | IP68 | IP68 |
What Changes
The leak lists three real changes: a newer Samsung display panel generation called M14, a new Exynos 2700 chip on a 2nm process, and the move from Qi2 to Qi2.2 wireless charging. Everything else, including camera sensors and the battery, is listed as unchanged.
What Stays the Same
Display size and resolution, the 50MP, 12MP and 10MP rear cameras, the 12MP selfie camera, the 4,900mAh battery and 45W wired charging all carry over. The battery number is marked as expected, so it may still change.
Is It Worth Waiting?
If these details are right, S26+ owners will find little reason to upgrade, while buyers who skipped it may prefer the newer chip and wireless charging. The tipster said the base and Plus models are getting an incremental upgrade only, and called the Pro model the interesting one, so bigger changes may be saved for that phone.

Why Plus Models Matter
The Plus phone is Samsung’s middle option, bigger than the base model but cheaper than the Ultra. Many buyers choose it for the larger screen and battery without paying for the top camera system. A leak that shows few changes from one year to the next therefore matters to a large group of buyers. If you already own an S26+, the saving from skipping a year may outweigh the small gains listed here, especially since phone prices are rising across the market.
The Chip Question
The Exynos line has changed a lot in recent years, and the 2nm process is meant to improve efficiency and heat. Samsung often uses different chips in different regions, so the final version sold in India may not match the one in the leak. The Qi2.2 charging update suggests a small but useful improvement in wireless speed and magnet alignment, though the leak gives no wattage for it.
Official details from Samsung will decide whether the S27+ is a real upgrade, so treat this comparison as an early look, not a verdict.
