The Samsung Galaxy A27 comes with a 120 Hz refresh rate 6.70-inch touchscreen display offering a resolution of 2340×1080 pixels (FHD+). It comes in two variants of 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage.

The Samsung Galaxy A27 5G runs Android 16 and is powered by a 5000mAh non-removable battery with support for 20W Fast Charging.

For the cameras, the Samsung Galaxy A27 5G on the rear packs a triple camera setup featuring a 50-megapixel primary camera, a 5-megapixel (ultra wide-angle) camera, and a 2-megapixel (macro) camera. There is a single front camera setup for selfies, featuring a 12-megapixel sensor.

As far as the software is concerned, the Samsung Galaxy A27 5G runs One UI 8.5, which is based on Android 16 and is powered by the Snapdragon® 6 Gen 3 Mobile Platform.

AI features

Upgrades to the existing suite of AI features make mobile intelligence more accessible. Circle to Search with Google now supports multi-object recognition, allowing users to search for multiple items within an image at once, from outfits to accessories, in a single step. It also allows outfits to be virtually tried on directly from search results, helping users to explore new styles from anywhere.

Object Eraser now delivers more precise results, making it easier to remove unwanted distractions with more natural-looking edits. Additionally, Voice Transcription in the Voice Recorder app can now translate as it transcribes, making it easier to capture meeting notes in 22 languages.

Building on the Awesome Intelligence experiences introduced earlier this year, Galaxy A27 5G supports a choice of AI assistants, including Google Gemini and Perplexity. Deeper integration across more native Galaxy apps – including Gallery – supports faster, more intuitive everyday interactions. Galaxy A27 5G now supports Bixby.

The Galaxy A27 5G will be available in Kenya from July 3 at Samsung Experience Stores, Samsung Shop in Shops as well as authorized Samsung retail stores nationwide.  The device will be available at a recommended retail price (RRP) of:

• 4GB RAM + 64GB storage: KES 41,300
