Samsung Galaxy S26 Series: Emerging Rumors and Design Evolution
Recent reports suggest significant design revisions within the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 series. Initial speculation centered on the potential replacement of the Galaxy S26+ with a Galaxy S26 Edge variant. Subsequent information indicated a reversal of this decision, with the Galaxy S26 Edge purportedly cancelled.
However, emerging rumors propose a more complex scenario. While the initially planned Galaxy S26 Edge has been reportedly discontinued, a new device, codenamed “More Slim,” is currently under development. This designation is noteworthy, as the Galaxy S25 Edge was previously identified by the codename “Slim.”

Furthermore, development of the “More Slim” device commenced later than that of the anticipated Galaxy S26 Edge. This timeline suggests Samsung reassessed its initial plans, ultimately shifting towards the creation of a new Edge variant. Given this late-stage development, the “More Slim” model is potentially slated for a later release in the year, mirroring the launch schedule of the S25 Edge. This contrasts with the main S-series flagship timeline, which, according to recent reports, is anticipated to be delayed until March to accommodate the development of the S26+.
The “More Slim” designation implies a focus on enhanced thinness compared to its predecessor. This raises questions regarding the design priorities of Samsung, particularly in light of existing criticisms regarding the S25 Edge. While the S25 Edge’s battery performance and camera capabilities have been points of contention, the emphasis on thinness suggests a different focus for the S26 Edge’s design. Further details are anticipated regarding the trade-offs associated with achieving a slimmer profile.
