Overview
- Multiple outlets citing Newspim report that Samsung has scrapped the S26 Edge, with the 2026 range expected to consist of the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra.
- Hana Investment & Securities data shows the S25 Edge shipped about 190,000 units in its first month and 1.31 million by August, far below the S25 (8.28 million), S25+ (5.05 million), and S25 Ultra (12.18 million).
- Manufacturing of the S25 Edge has reportedly been halted and the model will be discontinued after existing stock sells through, with an anonymous Samsung official saying the slim line has essentially disappeared.
- Reports say development of the S26 Edge was completed but the device is being shelved, and leakers Ice Universe and OnLeaks publicly corroborated the cancellation.
- An IMEI listing spotted for the Galaxy S26+ supports the Plus model’s return, while separate reports suggest the base model will be called S26 rather than S26 Pro and unverified tipster claims point to possible development delays for non‑Ultra variants.
