Recent reports regarding the naming convention for the Samsung Galaxy S25 successor have presented conflicting information. Initial speculation suggested the device would be designated the Galaxy S26 Pro, following persistent rumors. However, a revised report indicates a potential shift in strategy, with the successor, tentatively labeled the Galaxy S26, slated for release alongside the Galaxy S26+ and Galaxy S26 Ultra, mirroring the established product line configuration.
Further complicating the landscape, previous rumors suggested a Galaxy S26 Edge model would replace the Galaxy S26+, which was purportedly discontinued. Conversely, more recent reports indicate the Galaxy S26 Edge has been cancelled, reportedly due to unfavorable sales performance of its predecessor. The Galaxy S26+ is now expected to proceed, alongside the other models.
The divergent nature of these reports raises questions regarding their veracity. The possibility of fabricated information exists; however, the inconsistencies could also stem from internal strategic revisions within Samsung’s development process. Should the latter be the case, it may suggest a degree of uncertainty regarding the company’s approach to its upcoming flagship series, potentially impacting consumer perception. This scenario would need to be considered when analyzing the full range of product features.
Specifications for the base Galaxy S26, and likely the S26+, indicate these models will be powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2600 System-on-Chip (SoC) in select markets. Furthermore, while the camera systems are anticipated to remain unchanged from the Galaxy S25, a key upgrade for the base model is expected to be a 4,300 mAh battery, an increase from the Galaxy S25’s 4,000 mAh capacity.
