Galaxy S26 Series: What to Expect?
The Galaxy S26 series has been unveiled featuring the customary trio of models. We anticipate a Galaxy S26 FE in the future, but the S26 Edge might be as hard to find as hen’s teeth.
Samsung’s Unique Marvel?
After a chat with Samsung, I suspect the ultra-slim S25 Edge may not have a follow-up. Was it merely a fleeting moment of success?
Insights from Samsung’s Executive
I had a conversation with Kadesh Beckford, Senior Product Manager at Samsung UK, at their London store prior to Unpacked. When questioned if the Edge would return in 2026, he stated:
“We’ve gained insights from it [the S25 Edge] and incorporated those lessons into our other products. We’re continually assessing customer needs and delivering offerings that are worthy of purchase,” Beckford stated.
No Qi2 Magnets? Not an Issue!
Kadesh also suggested that the S25 Edge was somewhat of an experiment, mentioning that they’ve “applied our learnings” from it when referencing the absence of Qi2 magnets in the Galaxy S26 line.

Weak Sales and Speculations about the S26 Edge’s Fate
The S25 Edge supposedly didn’t perform well in sales, resulting in discussions that the S26 Edge might be scrapped. However, rumors suggest it could replace the S26+.
Ultra-Thin Competition and Potential Futures
Apple and Motorola are working on similarly sleek devices, so anything is possible. Last time, the S25 Edge debuted alongside other models, leaving room for chances.
The S26 Ultra: Thinner and Feature-Rich
The Galaxy S26 Ultra is slightly thinner than its predecessor by 0.3mm, retains its integrated S Pen, and features a new Privacy Display.
Samsung’s Future Outlook
Beckford added, “I can’t reveal too much about what lies ahead, but we remain dedicated to delivering the right devices for diverse customers worldwide.”
What Should You Consider?
Currently, you have three Galaxy S26 models to choose from, or you might wait for an Edge surprise. If the S26 Ultra interests you (and it should), investigate our hands-on experience with the device. If you’re torn between the S26 Ultra and the Pixel 10 Pro XL, we have a comparison review to assist you.
Summary: Edge of Triumph or Edge of Failure?
So, is the S26 Edge really gone or simply playing hard to get? Stay tuned with GadgetLad for the latest updates and straightforward reviews.
