Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra Leaks: Weight and Thickness Revealed
New leaks suggest the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra will weigh 218g and be 7.9mm thick, marking a halt in Samsung's recent trend of reducing the phone's weight.
Reported Specs and Source
The information comes from leaker Ice Universe, who posted the specifications on X. The 7.9mm thickness figure reportedly excludes the camera bump, aligning with the Galaxy S26 Ultra's dimensions.
Historical Context and Comparisons
Ice Universe has a solid track record for Samsung hardware leaks. Last year, his prediction of 217g for the Galaxy S26 Ultra proved accurate (the phone shipped at 214g). This new weight is consistent with the Galaxy S25 Ultra (218g) but 4g heavier than the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Here's a look at the Ultra line's weight progression:
- Galaxy S24 Ultra: 233g
- Galaxy S25 Ultra: 218g
- Galaxy S26 Ultra: 214g
- Galaxy S27 Ultra (rumored): 218g
Contradictions and Potential Reasons
These figures contradict an earlier leak from Lanzuk, which suggested a lighter Galaxy S27 Ultra with a larger battery. A larger battery is considered the most likely reason for the slight weight increase, consistent with other Galaxy S27 Ultra leaks.
Weight Comparison with Competitors
Despite the slight increase, the Galaxy S27 Ultra is expected to remain lighter than competitors. Apple's iPhone 18 Pro Max weighs 249g, while the Google Pixel 11 Pro XL is listed at 226g.
