Samsung is reshaping its flagship lineup with the introduction of a new 'Pro' tier for the Galaxy S27 series, a move that directly impacts buyers looking for a middle ground between the standard and Ultra models. This structural change arrives alongside certification data that confirms a significant shift in power delivery for the higher-end devices. Buyers who prioritize fast charging speeds will find that the new Pro and Ultra variants now match each other in this critical specification.
New Pro tier matches Ultra charging speed in China certification
The Galaxy S27 Pro, identified by model number SM-S9570, and the Galaxy S27 Ultra, model SM-S9580, have both cleared China's 3C certification database. These model numbers provide the first concrete identifiers for the devices, confirming their existence ahead of an official launch. The certification process validates the hardware specifications that Samsung has kept under wraps until now.
Specifications
- Charging Speed (S27 Pro): 60W
- Charging Speed (S27 Ultra): 60W
- Model Number (S27 Pro): SM-S9570
- Model Number (S27 Ultra): SM-S9580
- Charger Inclusion: Not included
Both the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra support 60W fast charging, a specification that aligns them with the previous generation's Ultra model. This marks a notable change in the charging hierarchy, as the base S27 (SM-S9520) is limited to 45W, and the S27 Plus (SM-S9650) drops to 27W. The retail packages for these devices will not include a charging brick, requiring users to purchase a compatible 60W adapter separately if they do not already own one.
Early certification timing suggests these devices could launch as early as January 2027, which would be an unusual departure from Samsung's typical late-year release schedule. We touched on Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra spotted testing in our earlier Samsung coverage. The confirmed charging specs and model numbers provide a clear baseline for the upcoming hardware, even as the exact release date remains unconfirmed by the manufacturer.
