Samsung’s Galaxy A-series has long been the gold standard for budget-friendly Android phones, but the latest leaks suggest that the upcoming Galaxy A27 might stretch the definition of the word "budget." Over the past few weeks, we have seen a steady stream of renders and spec sheet rumors, but the actual price tag remained a glaring omission. Now, thanks to a new leak, we finally have an idea of what the A27 will cost when it hits the Eurozone—and you might want to brace yourself for a bit of sticker shock.
If you were holding out hope for the usual sub-€300 entry point, it looks like Samsung is making a significant shift. According to the leaked pricing, the base model of the Galaxy A27, which comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, will start at €349. That is a steep €50 increase over the launch price of its predecessor, the Galaxy A26. For those wanting more memory and storage, the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant is reportedly jumping to €439—a hefty €70 markup over last year’s equivalent model. This kind of price hike pushes the A27 out of the comfortable "impulse buy" territory and throws it right into the fiercely competitive mid-range arena, where aggressive brands like Xiaomi, Poco, and Motorola are already fighting for dominance.
Under the hood, the Galaxy A27 doesn’t exactly scream “premium upgrade.” Rumored specifications include a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, a 50MP main camera with optical image stabilization, and the familiar 5,000mAh battery paired with 25W charging. It’s a competent package — undeniably so — but it reads more like a gentle polish of the A26 rather than a revolutionary leap that warrants a steeper price tag
