Samsung Galaxy S27 Pro Skips Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6

Samsung Galaxy S27 Database Listing Reveals Chipset Split Across Four European Models

Samsung plans to split processors across its upcoming flagship smartphone lineup, with European models appearing in the Niubaide database showing three distinct chips for four devices, Sammobile reported. Notebookcheck noted that rumors previously pointed to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 powering the top-tier Ultra version in Europe, while the database entries confirm that distribution alongside separate silicon for the base, plus, and Pro variants.

Processor Distribution Across European Variants

The database listing ties the standard Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ to Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2700 system-on-chip. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S27 Pro runs on the standard Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 processor, and the Galaxy S27 Ultra adopts the higher-end Snapdragon 8 Elite Extreme Gen 6 variant. All four processors utilize a 2-nanometer manufacturing process, according to Sammobile.

Vary Screen Sizes Across the Series

Trade data shows consistent memory and storage specs paired with varying screen dimensions across the series. Every model in the lineup features 12GB of RAM and 256GB of base storage as standard. The base Galaxy S27 carries a 6.3-inch screen under model number SM-S952B/DS. The Galaxy S27+ features a 6.7-inch display with model number SM-S956B/DS. The Galaxy S27 Pro fills the middle ground with a 6.5-inch panel and model number SM-S957B/DS, while the Galaxy S27 Ultra maintains a 6.9-inch display under model number SM-S958B/DS.

Strategic Shift From Prior Hardware Releases

This multi-chip strategy marks a departure from Samsung’s recent release history. Previous generations relied on a single Qualcomm Snapdragon chip across an entire flagship lineup. For example, Samsung utilized the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy inside the Galaxy S26 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra. The upcoming S27 series breaks that uniform approach by dividing performance tiers across Exynos and two distinct Snapdragon processors.
