Samsung reportedly drops plans for Galaxy S26 Edge, on track to launch Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra


Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year, and there are rumours of Samsung continuing the slim phone trend with the Galaxy S26 Edge. Even the CAD-based renders of the phone surfaced recently, showing a large camera deco.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge dropped?

Now, a new report from South Korean site newspim says that the company doesn’t have plans to launch the Galaxy S26 Edge next year. An earlier report said that the Galaxy S25 Edge experienced plummeting production and low sales, with around 300,000 units planned from September to December.

The new report says that the company will discontinue the Galaxy Edge lineup with the Galaxy S25 Edge, which is expected to be discontinued once all secured stock is sold out.

Samsung to continue with Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra

Earlier this month, The Elec said that Samsung has resumed development of the Galaxy S26+, internally codenamed M Plus. A new report from Sammobile says that the Galaxy S26 will still be the name of the entry-level S series model and not be called as the Galaxy S26 Pro. So, Samsung will still continue with Galaxy S26, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra.

Based on earlier rumours, the Galaxy S26 is said to get a 4300mAh battery, significantly higher than the Galaxy S25’s 4000mAh battery, retain similar camera setup as the S25, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra is said to retain the 5000mAh battery. Rumours indicate Exynos 2600 chip and Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 for Galaxy SoC for the S26 and S26+ depending on the market while retaining Snapdragon chip for the S26 Ultra in all the market markets.

We can expect the Galaxy S26 series to be introduced sometime in early 2026. We should know more details in the coming months.
