Five stock wallpapers said to come from Samsung's Galaxy S27 firmware have leaked. They may show which colors the 2027 flagships will come in: burgundy, navy blue, light blue, pink and a creamy white. Samsung usually matches its default wallpapers to the phone's body colors, so this is one of the clearest early hints yet at what next year's Galaxy S lineup will look like.

The images were published by SammyGuru, which says they come from what appear to be leaked firmware files. Samsung hasn't commented, and none of the colors are confirmed. Treat this as a leak, not a final palette.

Five Colors, One Ribbon Design

All five wallpapers use the same design: a folded ribbon that curls out of the background into the shape of the letter S. Only the color changes. That builds on the Galaxy S26 series, which launched with its own S-shaped wallpaper pattern.

The leaked set comes in these shades (Samsung's official color names haven't surfaced):

  • Burgundy (a deep red)
  • Navy or dark blue
  • Light blue
  • Pink
  • White, leaning toward cream

These are static wallpapers only. Samsung usually ships live wallpapers with a new flagship too, but none have turned up in this leak. The previews circulating now are 1200 x 1200 pixels and carry SammyGuru's watermark. The site offers full-resolution files to registered account holders.

Several of the shades will look familiar to Samsung fans. Light blue and white echo the Sky Blue and White finishes on the current Galaxy S26 phones, and navy was a Galaxy S25 color. Burgundy last appeared on a Galaxy S flagship with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. Apple also sells a burgundy shade in its iPhone 18 Pro lineup.

Which Colors Might Go to Which Model

The Galaxy S27 family is expected to grow to four phones: the standard Galaxy S27, the S27+, a new Galaxy S27 Pro and the S27 Ultra. Based on the wallpapers, SammyGuru predicts that burgundy and navy are meant for the Pro and Ultra, with the lighter pastel shades going to the base and Plus models. That's an educated guess, not something the firmware confirms.

That would be a change from this year. For the Galaxy S26 generation, Samsung gave every model the same colors for the first time. The Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra all come in Cobalt Violet, White, Black and Sky Blue, with Pink Gold and Silver Shadow sold only through Samsung.com. A Pro model sitting between the Plus and the Ultra could give Samsung a reason to split colors by model again.

The leak also partly lines up with an earlier claim. In October, leaker Ice Universe said the Galaxy S27 Ultra would come in Black, Blue, Light Pink and White as its main colors, and also mentioned a special violet finish. Blue, pink and white all appear among the new wallpapers. Burgundy wasn't part of that claim.

Where's Black?

The most obvious gap is black. Every Galaxy S26 model comes in Black, and the leaked set has no dark-gray or black wallpaper. That doesn't mean Samsung is dropping the color. Five wallpapers may simply not be the whole collection, and a black option could show up in a later leak.

The count also falls short of the current lineup. With its four standard colors and two online exclusives, the Galaxy S26 series has six finishes in total. If Samsung follows the same plan, the S27 family could add Samsung.com-only colors that these wallpapers don't cover, and some colors could be limited to certain markets or models.

For buyers, this matters more than it used to. Year-to-year hardware changes have become smaller, so color is one of the most visible ways a new flagship stands out on a store shelf. Shades like burgundy and navy would give the Galaxy S27 a darker, more muted look than the bright violet Samsung pushed with the S26.

When the Galaxy S27 Could Launch

As of November 12, 2026, Samsung hasn't announced a launch date for the Galaxy S27 series. The phones are widely expected to be unveiled in early 2027. For comparison, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S26 lineup at Galaxy Unpacked in San Francisco on February 25, 2026, and it went on sale in the US on March 11.

Other reports ahead of launch claim Samsung is testing a 200MP main camera for the S27 Pro and Ultra, with telephoto cameras staying at 50MP. Dummy units and screen protectors have also hinted at design changes. Expect official color names, renders and more firmware finds as Unpacked gets closer. Samsung tends to confirm its colors only on stage.
