Leaked One UI wallpapers hint at Galaxy S27 colour options

Wallpapers found in a One UI build

Samsung may have given an early glimpse of the Galaxy S27's colour range, according to Android Police. A set of wallpapers discovered inside a new One UI build, the software layer Samsung runs on top of Android, appears to match the shades expected for the upcoming flagship series.

The discovery was made by SammyGuru, who shared the pack online. It contains five abstract designs, each showing a twisting strip in a single colour palette. There is no obvious reference to the number 27, but the style is consistent with Samsung's usual approach to stock wallpapers.

The five shades on offer

The wallpapers come in five tones: a dark navy blue, a pale blue, white, a soft pink, and a red that could also be described as burgundy. If these are the final wallpaper packs, they suggest the Galaxy S27 series will be sold in these five finishes.

The burgundy shade stands out because it appears to be the new headline colour. Android Police notes it would replace cobalt violet, which serves that role on the current Galaxy S26.

How the colours match earlier leaks

Four of the five shades line up with claims from the leakster IceUniverse, who said more than a month ago that the Galaxy S27 Ultra would come in those colours. Burgundy was not part of that earlier list.

Samsung typically also sells exclusive finishes through its own stores. A black or graphite option was absent from the wallpaper pack, and further shades may be announced closer to launch.

Which models get which colours

It is not yet clear whether the standard Galaxy S27 will share every colour with the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra. Android Police points out that the current S26 range uses the same palette across all models, so that pattern could continue next year.

The burgundy finish is expected to accompany a redesign on the S27 Ultra and S27 Pro. Renders show a new back panel with a wide rectangular camera island, a layout similar to the iPhone 18 Pro. The base model is said to keep the familiar look with a floating lens in a vertical arrangement.

When the Galaxy S27 may arrive

Samsung is reportedly planning to launch the Galaxy S27 earlier than usual. Industry chatter points to a reveal in late January or early February 2027.

All of this remains unconfirmed until Samsung makes an announcement. Wallpaper discoveries have pointed at colour options before, but the company has not commented on the leak.
