Does the Galaxy A27 take a memory card on top of its 128 GB?
Yes, up to 2 TB via microSD. One caveat: the tray is hybrid, with the card taking the place of the second nano-SIM. You therefore have to choose between a second line and extra storage — that is the point to settle before buying.
Can you take the Galaxy A27 to the swimming pool?
No: its IP64 rating covers dust and water splashes — rain showers, spills, wet hands — but not immersion. No bath, no swimming pool, no rinsing under the tap: it is one step below IP67 and IP68.
How long can the Galaxy A27 play video without recharging?
Up to 23 hours of continuous video playback, on a 5,000 mAh battery — a different measure from a day of mixed use, where the network and background apps weigh more heavily. 25 W charging restores 45% in 30 minutes.

It is an octa-core Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 built on a 4 nm process, clocked at 2.4 and 1.8 GHz. A finer process has a direct effect on power consumption: for comparable performance, it runs cooler and uses less power than a chip built on a larger process.

Does the Galaxy A27's front camera have a flash?
