S27 Family Expands: Samsung’s Pro Model Shows in IMEI

A quiet entry in the GSMA IMEI registry just rewrote part of Samsung's S27 script. The Galaxy S27 Pro, long a rumor on forums and image boards, now appears alongside the S27+, the S27 Ultra and the earlier S27—complete with its own model ID. The listing reads SM-S957B/DS for the Pro, SM-S956U for the S27+, and SM-S958U for the S27 Ultra, joining the previously seen SM-S925U.

What the Pro might actually be

Don’t expect a radically new family member. Early whispers describe the Pro as a compact Ultra — think similar hardware and polish, but no stylus. A 6.47-inch display is in the rumor mix, and Samsung’s Privacy Display feature that debuted on the S26 Ultra could carry over. Battery life looks generous on paper too: a 5,000 mAh cell is being mentioned.

It all adds up to four S27 variants likely headed to an early 2027 reveal. Why four? Because Samsung seems intent on flattening choices without losing niche appeal — a large Ultra for power users, a Plus for mainstream buyers, a standard S27, and this Pro that aims to sit between compact convenience and flagship muscle.

Who benefits from a Pro that skips the S Pen? People who want top-tier cameras and performance in a smaller frame, without the extra bulk or niche price bump of a stylus-equipped phone. Expect the usual parade of benchmarks, camera leaks and carrier filings to fill in the blanks over the coming months.

Quick take: the S27 family now looks set to include a smaller, Ultra-like Pro that borrows premium features while leaving the S Pen behind.
