Samsung Galaxy S27+ gets BIS approval in India
We’re heading towards the end of the year and Samsung’s next Plus flagship has taken another step towards an Indian launch. Annually refreshed in January, the Samsung Galaxy S27+ has appeared on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website. The listing doesn’t reveal any specifications, but it’s an indication that Samsung is preparing the phone for India. The standard Galaxy S27 had appeared on the BIS database a few days earlier, but the Galaxy S27 Pro and S27 Ultra are yet to show up.
Samsung Galaxy S27+ India launch details
The Samsung Galaxy S27+ was spotted with model number SM-S956B/DS, according to tipster Anvin.

The model number suggests this is the global dual-SIM version intended for markets including India. BIS approval doesn’t reveal any more, but it puts the S27+ among the devices being prepared for the Indian market.

Samsung is expected to introduce the Galaxy S27 series at a Galaxy Unpacked event in January or February 2027. Some reports have pointed to an earlier January launch, although February remains possible. The company has expectedly not confirmed the event or the lineup so far.
Samsung Galaxy S27+: what to expect
As per leaks, the Galaxy S27+ is said to retain a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It could run on Samsung’s Exynos 2700 or a Snapdragon 8 Elite-series processor, depending on the market. Other reported specifications include 12GB RAM, 256GB or 512GB storage, a 4,900mAh battery and 45W wired charging. The camera setup is expected to retail a 50MP primary sensor, a 12MP ultrawide camera and 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom. Android 17 with One UI is tipped for the software side. These details remain leaks, not confirmed specifications.
For context, the Galaxy S26+ launched in India at Rs 1,19,999 for the 12GB + 256GB variant. It offers a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120Hz Dynamic AMOLED 2X display, Exynos 2600 in India, a 4,900mAh battery and 45W wired charging. The S27+ could therefore be an incremental upgrade on paper if the reported display, battery and camera specifications hold. A price increase looks likely though, with the ongoing DRAM shortage adding to the pressure on smartphone makers. The S27+ could therefore launch above the S26+’s Rs 1,19,999 starting price.
Since certifications have started appearing, it signals the launch is close and it would make sense for buyers purchasing in the segment to wait for more details.
