- Samsung will reportedly not release the Galaxy S26 Edge due to poor sales of the S25 Edge
- There may be a Galaxy S26 Plus instead, but there isn’t much time for Samsung to develop one
- The company is also said to be discontinuing the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
We’ve been hearing rumblings for a while that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might not be selling brilliantly, but the situation could be even worse than we thought as Samsung is reportedly discontinuing the entire series.
This is according to a report on News Pim (via @Jukanlosreve), which says Samsung has decided not to release the Galaxy S26 Edge and will instead sell a Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus alongside the Samsung Galaxy S26 (which may be called the S26 Pro) and the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Additionally, Samsung apparently won’t be making any more Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge devices, so once the current stock is sold out, it may be impossible to buy.
A credible claim
Of course, we’d take all of this with a grain of salt, but it seems believable, especially since the site claims to have spoken with a Samsung official who said “I don’t know if the slim line is coming back, but it doesn’t look easy at the moment,” adding, “I think you can consider it gone.”
It is also not particularly surprising to hear that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is not selling well. After all, it’s in some ways a worse phone than the standard Samsung Galaxy S25 – with a smaller battery and fewer cameras – but it costs more, all because it’s 1.4mm thinner.
Apple’s somewhat similar iPhone Air is reportedly not selling brilliantly either, so it seems there just isn’t much of a market for super-slim phones. At least not when it means compromising on other specifications and increasing prices at the same time.
Still, Samsung has reportedly finished developing the Galaxy S26 Edge, and probably doesn’t have much time to replace it with a Galaxy S26 Plus, as the S26 line is expected to land early next year.
So we still wouldn’t completely rule out a Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge launch, and if it really has been cancelled, we wouldn’t be surprised to see just two phones in the S26 line either, despite claims here that a Plus model is now planned.
