A report cited by both articles says Samsung is allocating more than 70% of Galaxy S27-series production to the Pro and Ultra models, leaving the rest for the base and Plus versions. The articles differ on how they explain the change: one emphasizes component costs and margins, while the other describes expected production volumes and a possible shift of buyers toward the Pro. Pricing remains uncertain in the reporting.

Samsung is reportedly assigning more than 70% of Galaxy S27-series production to the Pro and Ultra, with the remaining share allocated to the base and Plus models.
One article attributes the reported allocation to rising component costs and the larger margins associated with high-end phones; the other says adding the Pro model would draw some production away from the base and Plus models.
Pricing is not confirmed in the articles: one cites leaked starting prices from $900 for the base model to $1,399 for the Ultra, while the other describes the Pro as expected to cost less than the Ultra.
