Now, it's a major clearance for users who were waiting to see this particular variant going official. It also indicates that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S27 in India in the first quarter of the year 2027. It will likely happen in January or February 2027.

Galaxy S27 (SM-S952B/DS) Specifications

• Model Number: SM-S952B/DS
• Display Size: 6.3-inch
• Processor: Exynos 2700
• RAM: 12 GB
• Storage: 256 GB

This is a sign of good news for Indian users who were patiently waiting for the device's availability. Now, it will likely happen in the coming months and not wait indefinitely.

SM-S952B/DS is the model number of the Galaxy S27 approved in India. This is a dual-SIM version of the Galaxy S27. In the regulatory filings and previous database listings, this model has been connected to the 6.3-inch display size.

With this display size, this is going to be a non-Plus variant of the Galaxy S27. However, this is a standard dual-SIM version of Galaxy S27, which is in line with the Indian market.

Samsung's in-house Exynos 2700 chipset is expected to be used on Galaxy S27. It will come with 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage. These are the base specifications for Galaxy S27 (base model).

It will differentiate from Pro Galaxy S27 because of the use of the Exynos chipset. Pro Galaxy S27 will come with a different chipset.

We have seen that the charging speed of Galaxy S27 has been limited to 25W (wired charging). This speed has been revealed by the certifications from China's 3C authority and UL Solutions. This is the standard charging speed of the Galaxy S27. So, the charging experience won't be groundbreaking, but it will be sufficient.

We have been following the development of Galaxy S27. Recently, we also told how Galaxy S27 Pro will come with Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6, but the standard S27 will be Exynos 2700 powered. So, this regulatory clearance is the confirmation for Indian users that they will be able to get Exynos-powered Galaxy S27 in India.

The BIS clearance is the first official regulatory clearance for Galaxy S27 in India. So, now, Galaxy S27 is getting very close to the retail shelves in the first quarter of 2027.
