Overview

  • SamMobile-sourced reports indicate Samsung has abandoned the 'Galaxy S26 Pro' rename and will stick with the standard S26 branding.
  • Recent coverage reiterates that the thin 'Edge' variant is unlikely to return, with reports pointing to a revived Galaxy S26+ in the three-phone lineup alongside the Ultra.
  • A claim from TechManiacs suggests the launch could slip to March 2026, but Android Headlines characterizes the evidence as thin and other reporting still points to a January window.
  • The base Galaxy S26 is expected to reuse the Galaxy S25’s camera hardware without upgrades, according to multiple reports.
  • Industry reporting expects Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Samsung’s Exynos 2600 to power the series with regional allocation yet to be confirmed.
