Will the Samsung Galaxy S27 Ultra launch in the US above $1,399.99?
$18,116 Vol. 104d 5h left
Description The Galaxy S26 Ultra launched in the US at $1,299.99, then Samsung officially raised it to $1,399.99 (256GB) in October 2026, citing memory costs. October 2026 leaks (PhoneArena, 9to5Google, Android Authority) suggest a four-model 2027 lineup with a new Galaxy S27 Pro and an S27 Ultra at $1,399–$1,499. No Unpacked invites yet; tipsters expect late January–February 2027.
- This event resolves YES if Samsung officially announces the Galaxy S27 Ultra with a US starting MSRP above $1,399.99 on or before March 31, 2027 11:59 PM ET.
- This event resolves NO if the announced US starting MSRP is $1,399.99 or lower, or if no Galaxy S27-series device carrying the "Ultra" name is officially announced with US pricing by the deadline.
- 1. Specificity: Price = Samsung's official US full-retail MSRP of the cheapest storage configuration of the Galaxy S27 Ultra, whatever its base storage. Any amount ≥$1,400.00 (e.g., $1,449.99) = YES. Suffixes like "5G" are fine.
- 2. Exclusion: Trade-ins, carrier deals, pre-order offers, free storage upgrades, bundles, rebates and sales tax are ignored. Leaks, retailer/carrier listings and non-US prices do not count. Other models (S27 Pro, S27+, or a differently named top model) do not count. Later price changes are ignored; the first official US starting MSRP governs.
- 3. Source Hierarchy: Samsung US Newsroom (news.samsung.com/us) press release priority. Samsung.com/us on announcement day secondary, used only if the press release doesn't state a US starting price; on conflict the press release wins. Major tech outlets (The Verge, 9to5Google, Engadget) tertiary.
- 4. Timing: All times America/New_York. Trading closes at the official start of the Unpacked event introducing the S27 series, or earlier at the moment Samsung officially publishes US S27 Ultra pricing (including reservation pages). Post-deadline announcements resolve NO.
- 5. Cancellation Rule: Announcement without US pricing by the deadline resolves NO.
