Samsung Galaxy A27 5G shifts to an Infinity-O display, replacing the Infinity-U design used by its predecessor. The punch-hole front camera gives the phone a cleaner appearance and makes its screen area feel less interrupted.
The redesign matters in the mid-range category, where exterior changes can be an immediate differentiator for potential buyers. The new front treatment brings the device visually closer to Samsung’s higher-tier Galaxy A series models.
A slimmer frame around a larger display
The Galaxy A27 5G uses a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED panel with Full HD Plus resolution and a 120 Hz refresh rate. Its narrower bezels help the display appear more expansive during content viewing and app switching.
The bezel measures about 3.5 mm and is said to be 2.1 mm thinner than on the previous generation. Together with the punch-hole camera, that reduction is central to the phone’s more current-looking front design.
| Feature | Galaxy A26 5G | Galaxy A27 5G |
|---|---|---|
| Front display design | Infinity-U Display | Infinity-O Display |
| Front camera placement | Notch | Punch hole |
| Bezel | Thicker | About 3.5 mm |
Performance also changes under the surface
Samsung pairs the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 chipset with LPDDR5X RAM in the Galaxy A27 5G. This replaces the Exynos 1380 platform used in the Galaxy A26 5G.
In brief testing reported by Kompas Tekno, the handset remained smooth while opening 20 apps, moving through menus, and trying games. The report noted no significant lag during those tasks.
The phone also includes Voice Transcription, Circle to Search, and Object Eraser. These AI tools are intended for voice-to-text conversion, on-screen searches, and removing objects from photos.
Circle to Search can identify information related to an object visible on the screen without requiring the user to switch apps. Object Eraser is designed to remove unwanted photo elements quickly with reasonably neat results.
Rear design and color options
The rear panel receives a separate visual update through an oval frame surrounding the three cameras. Samsung matches the camera frame color to the body, giving the back a more unified look.
Black, Blue, and Light Pink are the three available color options. Blue is described as the most eye-catching option, with a calm premium character that recalls a color used on the Galaxy Z Fold 7.
| Color | Character | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Black | Neutral | Official color option |
| Blue | Premium and calm | Most distinctive option |
| Light Pink | Soft | Official color option |
The Galaxy A27 5G is about 7.8 mm thick and weighs 200 grams. These dimensions keep the body relatively slim and comfortable to hold with one hand for short periods.
In Indonesia, the 6/128 GB version starts at Rp 5,2 jutaan, while the 8/256 GB model starts at Rp 6,2 jutaan. The handset’s main appeal in its segment is its combination of a renewed design, a 120 Hz display, and AI features.
