Leaked Dummy Shows 5.5mm Galaxy S26 Edge as Reports Say Samsung Axed the Model
Fresh dummy photos highlight a 5.5mm-thin concept reportedly axed following weak S25 Edge demand.
Overview
- OnLeaks and Steve H. McFly posted real-life images of a Galaxy S26 Edge dummy, with a gauge showing a thickness of about 5.5mm.
- The dummy appears more like a finished store unit and looks far slimmer than Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro, which measures 8.3mm, in side-by-side comparisons.
- Coverage indicates Samsung will not release the S26 Edge after the S25 Edge underperformed, pivoting to a three-device S26 lineup.
- SamMobile reports Samsung has finalized chipset plans for the S26 range and is adopting faster memory intended to improve camera performance.
- Launch timing for the S26 series is reported for early 2026, with windows ranging from late January to February.
