Samsung Galaxy A27 5G launched with Infinity-O display, Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 & expanded AI features

Samsung has expanded its Galaxy A-series smartphone lineup with the launch of the Galaxy A27 5G. Positioned as the successor to the Galaxy A26 5G, the new device brings a refreshed design, upgraded performance and a broader suite of AI-powered features aimed at making everyday smartphone use more intuitive. The Galaxy A27 5G will go on sale in select global markets from July 3 and will be available in Black, Blue, Light Green and Light Pink colour options.

Samsung Galaxy A27 5G Display: Bigger screen, slimmer design

One of the biggest changes on the Galaxy A27 5G is its display. Samsung has equipped the phone with a 6.7-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED panel that supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling and animations.

The display also adopts Samsung's Infinity-O design, replacing the older notch with a centred punch-hole camera. Combined with slimmer bezels, the new design gives users more usable screen space while offering a cleaner, less distracting viewing experience.

Despite the larger display, Samsung has managed to keep the phone relatively slim at 7.8mm, making it easier to hold and use throughout the day.

Samsung Galaxy A27 5G Performance: Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 and upgraded cameras

Powering the Galaxy A27 5G is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor, built on a 4nm process. Samsung says the chipset delivers faster app switching, improved multitasking and better graphics performance for gaming and video streaming, while also improving power efficiency.

On the camera front, the phone features a 50-megapixel primary camera with optical image stabilisation, alongside a 5-megapixel ultra-wide camera and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. Selfies are handled by a new 12-megapixel front camera, which Samsung says captures more natural colours and improved dynamic range across different lighting conditions.

The smartphone packs a 5,000mAh battery with support for 25W fast charging and also includes microSD card expansion of up to 2TB.

Samsung Galaxy A27 5G AI Features: Gemini, Perplexity and long-term software support

Samsung is also bringing more AI features to its mid-range lineup through what it calls Awesome Intelligence. Circle to Search with Google now supports recognising multiple objects within a single image and can even suggest virtual outfit try-ons directly from search results.

Other additions include an improved Object Eraser for cleaner photo edits, Voice Transcription with live translation support across 22 languages, and deeper integration with both Google Gemini and Perplexity AI assistants. Samsung has also upgraded Bixby into a more conversational assistant capable of controlling phone settings through natural language commands.

The Galaxy A27 5G will receive up to six generations of Android and One UI upgrades, along with six years of security updates. Security is handled through Samsung Knox Vault, providing hardware-backed protection for sensitive data.
