IP64 provides dust protection and water splash resistance. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor handles biometric unlocking. Available in four colours: Black, Blue, Light Green, and Light Pink.
Display:
The Galaxy A27 carries a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display at 1080 x 2340 pixels (385 ppi) running at 120Hz with Corning Gorilla Glass Victus+ protection at Mohs level 5. The FHD+ Super AMOLED panel delivers Samsung’s characteristic deep blacks, vivid colour reproduction, and strong contrast. The 385 ppi renders text and images sharply. The 120Hz refresh rate keeps everyday scrolling and One UI animations smooth.
Camera:
The Galaxy A27 carries a triple rear camera system: a 50MP main camera (f/1.8, 1/2.76-inch, 0.64µm, PDAF, OIS), a 5MP ultrawide (f/2.2, 1/5.0-inch, 1.12µm), and a 2MP macro camera. The main camera records 4K video at 30fps with gyro-EIS stabilisation and supports 720p at 480fps slow-motion. The ultrawide extends the framing range for group shots and landscapes. The 12MP selfie camera (f/2.2, autofocus) records 1080p at 30fps, with autofocus enabling sharper portraits at varying distances.
Performance:
The Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 on 4nm with 6GB or 8GB RAM delivers smooth mid-range performance for all standard Kenyan daily tasks and moderate gaming. The Adreno 710 GPU handles everyday graphics, casual games, and the camera’s 4K video processing confidently. One UI 8.5 on Android 16 with 6 guaranteed Android upgrades ensures the phone remains current and well-supported. Android update commitment extends through approximately Android 22. Samsung Knox security is present across all Galaxy A-series phones.
Connectivity:
The Galaxy A27 connects to 5G and 4G LTE on Safaricom, Airtel, and Telkom Kenya. Wi-Fi 5 dual-band with Wi-Fi Direct covers home and office wireless. Bluetooth 5.1 handles wireless accessories. Multi-constellation GPS with Galileo, GLONASS, BDS, and QZSS covers navigation. NFC availability is unspecified in the official spec sheet, confirm with Smartphones Planet Kenya if tap-to-pay is a priority. USB-C 2.0 with OTG supports charging, data, and peripheral connections. No 3.5mm headphone jack is included. The microSDXC slot uses a shared SIM slot, see the disclosure box above for the practical implication of this design.
Battery and Charging:
The Galaxy A27 carries a 5,000mAh battery with 25W wired charging reaching 45% in 30 minutes. The 5,000mAh cell provides reliable all-day endurance for typical Kenyan daily use. The 25W charging is the same speed as the Galaxy S25 and A56 in this catalogue, restoring meaningful charge during a brief midday plug-in. No wireless charging is stated in the specification sheet.
