Samsung is rumored to consider axing the Galaxy S26+ in favor of the S26 Edge, which will launch alongside the Galaxy S26 and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
The decision is based on the poor sales performance of the Galaxy S26+ in comparison to other models in the flagship line.
The S26 Edge is speculated to be a replacement for the S26+ and may focus on thinness as a unique selling point, similar to Apple's rumored iPhone 17 Air.
While still at an early rumor stage, Samsung is reportedly contemplating this shift as they commence development on the S26 family and strive for increased sales targets.
