Samsung Electronics has announced the Galaxy A27 5G, a device that refines everyday mobile use with an immersive display, reliable performance and thoughtfully integrated AI features. Building on the popular Galaxy A26 5G, the Galaxy A27 5G introduces meaningful enhancements that make the experience easier and more intuitive for more users.

“The Galaxy A27 5G reflects our commitment to making meaningful innovation more accessible without compromising on quality,” said Ronnie Ng, Vice President, Head of Mobile Experience at Samsung. “As mobile experiences become increasingly central to how people connect, learn and stay productive, users expect technology that is both capable and intuitive. By bringing meaningful upgrades across display, performance and Awesome Intelligence features, the Galaxy A27 5G makes everyday innovation more accessible to people.”

More Screen, Less Distraction

For smoother and more seamless viewing, the Galaxy A27 5G features a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120 Hz refresh rate. It also introduces an upgraded Infinity-O display, which minimises the visible camera area through a discreet punch-hole design. Together with a reduced and more balanced bezel, this adds screen space and removes distractions to keep content front and centre. With a slim 7.8 mm body, the Galaxy A27 5G is designed to feel comfortable in the user’s hand throughout the day.

Everyday Performance, Enhanced

Powered by the Snapdragon® 6 Gen 3 Mobile Platform^[1], the Galaxy A27 5G delivers a smoother and more  responsive experience throughout the day, whether users are switching between apps or multitasking on the go. A boost in GPU performance delivers smoother graphics for gaming and streaming, while the latest high-speed memory enables faster data transfer speeds and improved power efficiency. Together, these upgrades help Galaxy A27 5G deliver an everyday experience that users can count on.

The Galaxy A27 5G also introduces a 12 MP front camera that captures a wider range of brightness and richer colours, resulting in more natural-looking selfies in a variety of lighting conditions.

With a 5,000 mAh (typical) battery^[2], the Galaxy A27 5G is designed to keep up with everyday activities, from gaming and streaming to staying connected throughout the day. Users can enjoy up to 23 hours of video playback on a full charge, while Super Fast Charging provides up to 45% charge in just 30 minutes when a quick power boost is needed.

Awesome Intelligence for Everyday Tasks

The Galaxy A27 5G introduces upgrades to its suite of Awesome Intelligence features, making mobile intelligence more accessible. Circle to Search^[3] with Google now supports multi-object recognition, allowing users to search for multiple items within an image at once, from outfits to accessories, in a single gesture. It also allows outfits to be virtually tried on directly from search results, helping users to explore new styles from anywhere.

Object Eraser^[4] now delivers more precise results, making it easier to remove unwanted distractions with more natural-looking edits. Additionally, Voice Transcription^[5] in the Voice Recorder app can now translate as it transcribes, making it easier to capture meeting notes in 22 languages.

Building on the Awesome Intelligence^[6] experiences introduced earlier this year, the Galaxy A27 5G supports a choice of AI assistants, including Google Gemini^[7] and Perplexity.^[8] Deeper integration across more native Galaxy apps, including Gallery, supports faster and more intuitive everyday interactions. The Galaxy A27 5G now supports Bixby^[9] as a conversational device agent, enabling seamless control of settings and features through natural language.

The Galaxy A27 5G reinforces Samsung’s commitment to long-term support with up to six generations of Android OS and One UI upgrades, as well as up to six years of security updates from the initial global launch date, giving users confidence that they will be able to use their device for longer. Built on Samsung Knox with hardware-backed protection from Knox Vault^[10], the Galaxy A27 5G keeps sensitive data secure, making device protection easier and more intuitive than ever before.

Samsung Newsroom explored the devices’ capabilities across AI, camera, design and performance.

Awesome Intelligence: AI for Everyday Tasks

At the core of Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G is Awesome Intelligence^[1] — a suite of AI-powered features designed to simplify daily tasks.

One of the most notable additions is Voice Transcription, available on the Galaxy A Series for the first time. With the Voice Recorder app, users can record audio, convert speech to text and translate it across multiple languages^[2] — making it easier to review meetings, revisit lectures or organise recorded calls.

▲ Voice Transcription

Circle to Search with Google^[3], a Galaxy fan favourite feature, continues to expand and now allows multiple objects to be identified at once. For example, when users spot a look they love, information about each object — from tops to footwear — can be found in one search by simply circling an outfit on the screen.

AI Select^[4] suggests relevant actions based on on-screen content, such as creating GIFs, saving images or setting wallpapers. The feature is now accessible by long-pressing the Edge Panel.

▲ AI Select

Users can also move content seamlessly between apps. Multi-Window Drag & Drop, enhanced with AI Select, enables faster multitasking in apps like Samsung Browser and Samsung Notes. For example, images can be dragged directly into Samsung Notes and resized as needed.

▲ Multi-Window Drag & Drop

The enhanced Object Eraser^[5] removes unwanted elements with improved edge accuracy for clearer, more natural-looking images in fewer edits.

Camera: Clearer Shots from Day to Night

Photography remains central to the Galaxy A Series, with camera enhancements that deliver sharp, vivid results in both bright and low-light conditions.

▲ (From top to bottom) Photos taken at 1x and 0.6x zoom on Galaxy A57 5G

Both models feature a triple rear camera system for greater versatility. A 5MP macro camera captures detailed close-ups, revealing textures that might otherwise go unnoticed. The 12MP ultra-wide camera on Galaxy A57 5G enables broader shots, ideal for landscapes and group photos.

▲ Detailed close-ups taken with Galaxy A57 5G

Nightography^[6] has been enhanced to produce brighter, sharper images in low light with more natural colour. Improvements are noticeable in cityscapes and street scenes, where noise and distortion are often more visible.

▲ (From top to bottom) Night scene in Seoul with Nightography on Galaxy A57 5G and resulting image

Design: Slim, Light and Refined

The new Galaxy A Series features a refined design that balances sleekness with everyday usability.

Galaxy A57 5G introduces a slimmer, lighter form factor at 6.9 mm thick and 179 g — 0.5 mm thinner and 19 g lighter than its predecessor — making it easier to hold while remaining pocket-friendly.

▲ Galaxy A57 5G is lightweight and sleek

The triple-camera layout creates a cohesive look aligned with the Galaxy design language, enhancing overall polish and precision.

Display improvements further elevate the experience. Galaxy A57 5G features 1.5 mm bezels on the top and sides — reduced by 0.7 mm at the top and 0.5 mm on the sides — for a more immersive viewing experience without increasing device size.

▲ Galaxy A57 5G has narrower bezels for a more immersive viewing experience

Both models are available in two light and two dark colour options. Galaxy A57 5G comes in Awesome Navy, Awesome Gray, Awesome Icyblue and Awesome Lilac,^[7] while Galaxy A37 5G is offered in Awesome Lavender, Awesome Charcoal, Awesome Graygreen and Awesome White.^[8] A premium metal frame on Galaxy A57 5G completes the design, balancing durability and aesthetics.

▲ (From top to bottom) Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G in different colours

Performance: Faster, Smoother and Longer-Lasting

Performance remains a key part of the overall experience. With an upgraded CPU and GPU, Galaxy A57 5G delivers faster, smoother operation for streaming, editing and everyday use.^[9] A 13% larger vapor chamber^[10] helps keep the device cool, even during extended gaming or video recording.

A 5,000mAh battery^[11] supports up to two days of use^[12] on a single charge. Super Fast Charging 2.0 powers Galaxy A57 5G up to 60% in about 30 minutes, reducing downtime.

Galaxy A57 5G and Galaxy A37 5G take a user-centric approach, focusing on essential innovations across AI, camera, design and performance in a practical and accessible way.

From Awesome Intelligence to advanced camera capabilities, the new Galaxy A Series brings the latest innovations to more users. Samsung will continue to expand access to its mobile innovations, empowering more people around the world.
