Summary
$349.99 puts Samsung’s new Galaxy A27 $50 above last year’s A26, even as the budget phone cuts selfie and ultrawide camera resolution and drops to IP64 water resistance.
Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 is the main upgrade, while key carryovers include 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, a 5,000mAh battery, a 6.7-inch 120Hz display and a 50-megapixel rear camera.
July 14 is the US on-sale date, with only a black model offered there; international markets get blue and pink versions and an earlier July 3 release.
Industry-wide cost pressure is hitting cheaper phones especially hard, with Samsung’s increase following broader price rises and some rivals scaling back budget-line plans.
