Overview

  • Samsung confirmed that the Galaxy S26 series will consist of three models—standard (possibly called Pro), Edge, and Ultra—eliminating the Plus variant.
  • Leaks from ETNews and tipster Ice Universe indicate the S26 Edge will slim down to 5.5 mm and upgrade its battery to around 4,200 mAh.
  • Early leaks suggest the S26 Ultra could feature a unified camera housing with a 200 MP Sony sensor, expanded telephoto aperture, a new ISOCELL HP2+ low-light sensor, 16 GB RAM, up to 1 TB storage, and a 5,500 mAh battery with 60 W charging.
  • A report from FNNews claims Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S25 Fan Edition on September 19 in South Korea, pricing it below KRW 1 million (~$720).
  • The S25 FE is expected to bring flagship design cues—flatter edges and a triple-camera array—with Exynos 2500 chipset, 4,900 mAh battery, support for 45 W wired and 15 W wireless charging, and four color options.
