A yet-to-be-announced mid-range smartphone from Samsung, likely the Galaxy A27 5G with model number SM-A276B, has appeared in the Geekbench database. The leak offers an early look at its technical specs and performance level. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 processor—not the newest solution, having been used last year in models like the Galaxy A36.
The tested sample features 6 GB of RAM and runs on Android 16. It's expected to come with the One UI 8.5 interface, though this hasn't been officially confirmed yet.
Test results were fairly modest: the smartphone scored 777 points in single-core and 1,802 points in multi-core Geekbench tests. This is even lower than the Galaxy A26 with its Exynos 1380 chip. However, this is a test device, so the final version could show improved performance. According to available information, the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 can compete with the Exynos 1380, matching it in single-core tasks and slightly outperforming it in multi-core workloads.
Leaks suggest the Galaxy A27 will retain a 5,000 mAh battery—a standard choice for this segment. The new model will likely serve as a more affordable alternative to the recently released Galaxy A37 and A57, which feature the more powerful Exynos 1480 and Exynos 1680 chips respectively.
Details about the display, cameras, and pricing remain undisclosed. If Samsung can maintain an attractive price point, the Galaxy A27 could be a solid option for users seeking a simple, reliable 5G smartphone. However, given price increases in previous models of the series, keeping costs in line with past generations remains uncertain.
