Samsung Galaxy S27+ Gets BIS Certification Ahead of Expected India Launch
Samsung Galaxy S27+ has appeared on the BIS certification website, hinting at an upcoming India launch. Here's everything we know so far about its expected specifications, processor, cameras, battery, price and launch timeline.
It looks like Samsung may be getting closer to the release of its next flagship phone range in India. It seems that Samsung Galaxy S27+ will soon hit the market since the product has appeared in the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification website. This means that Samsung has started preparations for the launch of the phone in the Indian market. While the listing does not contain any information about the specifications or features of the phone, this is a key signal for the launch of the product.
As per the information shared by the tipster Anvin, Samsung Galaxy S27+ has been seen in the BIS certification website under the model number SM-S956B/DS. The phone got its registration in November 2026 under the registration number R-85000280. Samsung India Electronics Private Limited is mentioned as the manufacturer with its registered office at Noida. As per the tipster, the model number stands for the global dual-SIM version of the phone.
It is interesting to note that the regular version of the Samsung Galaxy S27 was also present on the BIS certification website a few days ago. Nevertheless, the Galaxy S27 Pro and Galaxy S27 Ultra have not been found in the database yet. Although the certification does not indicate the release date, it implies that the South Korean manufacturer is steadily making all the necessary preparations to bring its new generation of flagships to the Indian market.
The Samsung Galaxy S27 series of phones is anticipated to be unveiled at the company's Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled to take place in January or February 2027. Some sources even believe that the lineup may be announced earlier, namely in January. However, it is still possible to hear news about the release of Samsung's new phones in February.
Samsung Galaxy S27+ Specifications and Features (Expected)
Though no official announcement has been made by Samsung yet, there are some leaks that have started to give us an idea about what the Galaxy S27+ might look like. The smartphone is rumored to include a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. The display size would enable it to serve as a good choice for people looking for a flagship experience but who don’t wish to buy the costlier Ultra variant.
In terms of internal specifications, Samsung might include either its future Exynos 2700 chipset or a Snapdragon 8 Elite series processor into the device. The phone is said to include 12GB of RAM and 256GB and 512GB variants of internal memory. It is also tipped to include a 4,900mAh battery with 45W fast charging capabilities.
Regarding the cameras of the Galaxy S27+, a triple rear camera system is predicted for the device. It may be composed of a 50 megapixels main camera, a 12 megapixels ultrawide sensor, and a 10 megapixels telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The software configuration of the phone includes Android 17 with Samsung’s One UI skin.
But it should be noted that all these features are mentioned due to the information from unofficial sources. Samsung has not officially revealed any information about the Galaxy S27+'s processor, camera hardware, battery size, and others.
Galaxy S27+ Could Be More Expensive Than Its Predecessor
By studying the existing Galaxy S26+, one can see what to expect from the new model. Samsung Galaxy S26+ was introduced in India at a base price of Rs 1,19,999 for the 12GB RAM and 256GB variant. It includes a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with 120Hz refresh rate, Exynos 2600 SoC in India, 4,900mAh battery and 45W wired charging.
According to the alleged specifications of the Galaxy S27+, the new iteration might offer fairly modest upgrades in hardware, especially when it comes to its screen and battery. The camera setup seems to be roughly the same, but some software optimizations, as well as enhanced image processing and better sensors, will surely make a difference.
It should also be noted that the price of the device might get impacted by the ongoing shortage of DRAM memory and the resulting increased prices for the components that are used in smartphones. As a result, Samsung will have to reconsider its pricing strategy and increase the price of the next flagship generation, which means that the Galaxy S27+ will cost more than Rs 1,19,999 that the Galaxy S26+ started off with.
Should You Wait for the Samsung Galaxy S27+?
The presence of the Galaxy S27+ on the BIS certification website can be seen as an early sign that Samsung is now getting ready to introduce its next Plus model in India. With the regular Galaxy S27 already having undergone the same process, additional details on the soon-to-come range might be revealed over the next few weeks.
It may be wise for consumers who are intending to buy a high-end Samsung mobile phone to wait until the introduction of the Galaxy S27 range. It will give them the opportunity to analyze the new equipment and prices. Until Samsung introduces its Galaxy S27+, its specs and price are unconfirmed.
