Rumors suggest that the Galaxy S26 Edge will feature an enhanced 50MP ultra-wide camera, a significant improvement over the Galaxy S25 Edge’s 12MP counterpart.
This camera upgrade is specifically linked to the NPA2 model, indicating the absence of a Samsung Galaxy S26+ next year. The differentiation in camera specs between models hints at a new addition between the Samsung Galaxy S26 and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
More confirmation of a Plus-less 2026
Recent reports further solidify the idea of Samsung dropping the Plus model from its lineup. The Elec, a South Korean website, directly states that the S26 series will comprise the S26, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge received mixed reviews due to its sleek design compromising battery life and camera quality. In contrast, the S25+ was favored, being dubbed “The sweet spot in the Galaxy S25 lineup.” Despite the lukewarm reception to the S25 Edge, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge aims to address these issues and deliver an improved experience.
