- This new model may be released after the Galaxy S26 range
- Samsung hints at impressive performance for the Galaxy S26
Amidst ongoing speculation, the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge appears to be back on the radar once again.
Initially intended to replace the Samsung Galaxy S26+ in Samsungâs lineup, the fate of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge seemed uncertain following poor sales of its predecessor, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.
However, recent reports from Dutch website Galaxyclub suggest that Samsung is taking a different approach by working on an entirely new and potentially even slimmer phone, codenamed âMore Slimâ.
Exploring Samsungâs Slimmer Design
Recent developments indicate that Samsung has been focusing on a new device known as âMore Slimâ, following the initial plans for the Galaxy S26 Edge. This new model may not be ready for the initial Galaxy S26 launch in January.
It appears that Samsung is considering both reinstating the Samsung Galaxy S26+ and introducing an enhanced Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge at a later date.
This strategy mirrors the release pattern of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, which arrived on the market several months after the Samsung Galaxy S25.

Insights on Galaxy S26 Performance
Samsung has officially shared details about the upcoming Galaxy S26 series, promising advanced AI, a second-generation custom AP, and enhanced performance, including new camera sensors.
The reference to a âsecond-generation custom APâ likely points to the Exynos 2600, which is rumored to outperform competitors like Qualcommâs Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and Appleâs A19 Pro in early tests.
Early benchmark results for the Exynos 2600 indicate strong performance, potentially matching or surpassing other top-tier processors in the market.
With the promise of high-performance devices, Samsungâs collaboration with Qualcomm on optimized chips suggests a competitive edge in the smartphone market.
