Device Overview
The legend is back. The Galaxy Note 27 resurrects the beloved Note brand with a futuristic twist: a motorized rollable display that expands from a standard phone into an 8-inch canvas for the built-in S-Pen.
Common Questions
Why did Samsung bring the Note name back?
Samsung realized that while the Ultra series was great, hardcore productivity users missed the distinct, boxy aesthetic and dedicated professional focus of the Note brand, leading to this futuristic revival.
How does the rollable display work?
With a double-tap of the power button, a silent micro-motor unrolls a hidden section of the flexible OLED screen from the side, expanding the 6.8-inch phone into a seamless 8.0-inch mini-tablet.
Is a rollable screen better than a foldable?
Yes, because the screen rolls in a gentle curve inside the chassis rather than folding sharply in half, there is absolutely zero visible or tactile crease on the display.
What is the new S-Pen Pro?
The built-in stylus has been upgraded with a gyroscope for air gestures, ultra-low 1.5ms latency, and a new textured tip that makes writing on the glass feel exactly like writing on premium paper.
Is the motorized mechanism fragile?
It is heavily tested for over 300,000 rolls and features smart sensors that instantly retract the screen if the phone detects it is being dropped, protecting the flexible panel.
What happens to apps when the screen expands?
One UI 10.0 is built for this. As the screen physically grows, apps seamlessly stretch and rearrange their UI (like opening sidebars in email apps) without needing to restart or reload.
Is the camera setup compromised by the rolling mechanism?
Not at all. It features the same massive 200MP main sensor and 50MP periscope zoom lens as the S-series Ultra, ensuring top-tier photography alongside ultimate productivity.
How is the battery life?
Despite the motorized parts, Samsung fit a high-density 5500 mAh battery inside. The software optimizes power heavily, resulting in a phone that comfortably lasts a full day of heavy professional use.
Does it have a desktop mode?
Yes, wireless Samsung DeX is built-in. You can cast your phone to a smart TV or monitor and use the expanded 8-inch rollable screen as a massive, multi-touch trackpad and keyboard.
Is the phone water-resistant?
Engineering a waterproof rollable was tough, but Samsung achieved an IP68 rating by using special hydrophobic coatings and sealed internal gaskets around the moving parts.
