Samsung Galaxy S27 and S27+ Spotted in China's 3C Certification Database
Regulatory filings reveal the upcoming flagship series is nearing production, with the S27+ confirmed for 45W fast charging.
Samsung's next generation of flagship smartphones is beginning to surface in regulatory filings. The Galaxy S27 (SM-S9520) and Galaxy S27+ (SM-S9560) have officially appeared in China's 3C (CCC) certification database, signaling that the devices are nearing production.
According to reports from GSMArena, Gizmochina, SamMobile, and iXBT, the certification filings provide a first look at the hardware's power capabilities. Specifically, the database confirms that the Galaxy S27+ will support 45W fast charging. While the base Galaxy S27 has also been certified, its exact charging wattage remains unconfirmed due to conflicting reports.
The Role of 3C Certification
3C certification, also known as China Compulsory Certificate, is a mandatory safety standard for electronic products sold within the Chinese market. For the Samsung S-series, these filings have historically served as a reliable leak source. Because the certification requires the disclosure of electrical specifications, the maximum supported wattage for fast charging is typically revealed weeks or months before the official product announcement.
Competitive Pressure on Charging
Charging speed has become a primary battleground for flagship smartphones, particularly as Chinese OEMs deploy ultra-fast charging technologies that far exceed Samsung's current offerings. For analysts and users, the 3C filings are a critical indicator of whether Samsung intends to push its charging envelopes or maintain its current conservative approach to battery longevity and heat management.
What to Watch
The appearance of these models in the 3C database confirms the hardware is finalized, but several questions remain. The industry is now waiting for confirmation on the base S27's charging speed and the specifications for the Ultra model, which typically carries the highest specs of the lineup. Further leaks regarding the processor and display technology are expected as the official launch window approaches.
