When Will the Samsung Galaxy S27 Launch in Malaysia? Expected Dates, 4 Models and Whether to Wait

Short answer: Samsung has not announced a Galaxy S27 date yet. According to the latest leak (19 October 2026), Galaxy Unpacked is targeted for early January 2027, February at the latest. Going by the Galaxy S26 pattern, expect the S27 in Malaysian shops around late January to March 2027. Need a new phone now?

Updated 8 November 2026. Every S27 date below is a leak or an estimate, not an official Samsung announcement.

When will the Samsung Galaxy S27 launch?

There is no official date. As of early November 2026, Samsung has not sent out Galaxy Unpacked invitations.

What we have comes from Korean tipster Lanzuk (on Naver), as reported by 9to5Google and SamMobile on 19 October 2026:

• Target: early January 2027 — a few weeks earlier than the S25 and S26.
• Latest: February 2027.
• Why it isn't fixed yet: the Galaxy S27 and S27+ are said to be finalised, but Samsung is still deciding on parts for the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra — specifically whether to use LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage. According to SamMobile, memory chip prices have risen several-fold over the past year, so this is a costly call.

In short: January if the Pro/Ultra parts are settled quickly, February if not.

When will the Galaxy S27 arrive in Malaysia?

Our estimate: late January to March 2027, depending on the Unpacked date.

Malaysia was in the first launch wave for the Galaxy S26: Unpacked was held on 25 February 2026, Malaysian pre-orders opened on 26 February (the very next day) and ran until 10 March, and in-store sales started on 11 March 2026 (according to CelcomDigi's announcement, as reported by CMOtech Asia).

Recent Galaxy S launch dates (according to SamMobile):

If Unpacked lands in January, the S27 could be on sale in Malaysia before Chinese New Year. If it slips to February, think March.

How many Galaxy S27 models will there be?

Four, according to SamMobile — one more than usual:

• Galaxy S27 and Galaxy S27+ — reportedly powered by the Exynos 2700 in most markets outside China and North America. The Malaysian version is not confirmed yet.
• Galaxy S27 Pro — a new model slotting between the Plus and the Ultra. Its chip may vary by country (Exynos 2700 or Snapdragon).
• Galaxy S27 Ultra — reportedly Qualcomm Snapdragon only, in every market.

On cameras, an earlier report this year said the S27 Ultra may drop its 3x telephoto lens — see the Galaxy S27 Ultra camera rumour. Malaysian pricing is completely unknown so far.

Should you wait for the Galaxy S27 or get a Galaxy S26 now?

It depends on the phone in your hand today, not on the leaks.

Wait for the S27 if:

• Your current phone still works well and the battery lasts a full day.
• You specifically want the new Pro or Ultra and can hold out another two to four months.
• You don't mind limited stock in the first weeks of sales.

Get an S26 now if:

• Your screen is cracked, the battery drains fast or the phone keeps freezing — three months is a long wait.
• You want a proven model that still has years of software updates ahead.
• You want to start paying monthly now, without a credit card.

One more thing: with memory costs rising (according to SamMobile), don't assume the S27 will be cheaper than the S26. Samsung has not announced any pricing.
