Samsung is preparing to launch its next flagship phone series, the Galaxy S27, in early 2027.
Before the official debut, the company is getting approvals for its phones in different countries.
The Galaxy S27+ has now appeared on India's certification portal run by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).
The BIS sets and certifies product standards in India, so this listing is a regulatory step.
The listing is for model number SM-S956B/DS. The letter B points to the global version of the phone.
DS means it supports two SIM cards.
This is a sign that the phone is moving toward launch.
But the listing does not give any new details about how the phone will work.
Key points
- The Galaxy S27+ is listed on India's BIS certification portal.
- The model number is SM-S956B/DS, a global version with dual-SIM support.
- The listing shows no new features or specifications.
- Samsung is aiming for a January 2027 unveiling, which could slip to February.
What features are expected on this phone?
The BIS listing does not reveal features.
However, earlier leaks, which are unofficial pieces of information, already give a fairly clear picture.
The phone is expected to have a 6.7-inch screen, a 4,900mAh battery, and support for 45W wired charging.

The mAh figure shows battery capacity. The 45W figure shows how fast the phone charges through a cable.
It should sit above the standard Galaxy S27 and below the new S27 Pro in Samsung's lineup.
The cameras are likely to be largely identical to those on the S27.
Leaks point to a 50MP main camera, a 12MP ultrawide camera, and a 3x telephoto camera for zoom.
The design may stay familiar. Both models should keep three vertical camera rings on the back, like earlier models.
The S27 Pro and Ultra are rumored to get a new rectangular camera island.
What happens next for the launch?
Leaks suggest Samsung is aiming to unveil the Galaxy S27 series in January 2027.
Its Galaxy Unpacked event, which is where Samsung usually presents new phones, could move to February.
Some last-minute hurdles could cause that delay. Nothing is confirmed yet, so the exact date is still open.
If you are planning to buy a new Samsung phone in 2027, it helps to know that the launch may shift by a month.
