Samsung Reportedly Drops Galaxy S26 Edge, Keeps S26+ in 2026 Lineup

A SamMobile report says the change follows weak Galaxy S25 Edge sales and puts Samsung back to a three-model flagship slate.

Overview

  • SamMobile says its own sources confirm there will be no Galaxy S26 Edge, aligning with South Korean outlet NewsPim, which cited a Samsung official.
  • The Galaxy S26 family is expected to consist of the S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra after development initially included four models.
  • The reported rationale is disappointing demand for the Galaxy S25 Edge, which prioritized an ultra-thin design over some specifications.
  • SamMobile reports the S26 is slated to use Samsung’s 2nm Exynos 2600, while the S26 Ultra would feature a higher-clocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, with no firm details yet on the S26+ chipset.
  • SamMobile notes the Edge branding could theoretically return in the future, but there is no confirmation of any new Edge model at this time.
