Samsung Confirms Galaxy S26 Lineup Details
Samsung has officially clarified its plans for the upcoming Galaxy S26 lineup, confirming that neither a Galaxy S26 Edge nor a Galaxy S26 Pro model is currently scheduled for release. This disclosure supports earlier industry rumors, which suggested Samsung would not replace the Plus model with an Edge variant or the base model with a Pro version. Consequently, tech enthusiasts now have a clearer picture of what to expect from the next generation of flagship devices.
A Traditional Three-Model Structure for the S26 Series
The confirmation originates from a Samsung Colombia PDF document, specifically related to promotional activities. This document outlines the S26 series ahead of the highly anticipated Galaxy S26 Unpacked event. According to the internal document, the series will include the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Significantly, there is no mention of either Edge or Pro models within this confirmed list. Furthermore, this information aligns with previous reports indicating Samsung’s intention to maintain its traditional three-tier flagship structure for this generation, ensuring consistency for loyal customers.
Edge and Pro Variants: Future Possibilities?
While the document strongly indicates that Edge and Pro variants will not launch alongside the initial S26 series, this does not entirely rule out their future introduction. A delayed release for a Galaxy S26 Edge remains a distinct possibility, allowing Samsung to assess market demand and refine its strategy. Conversely, there is currently no specific indication of a Pro model being in active development. Considering the mixed sales performance of the last Edge model, Samsung would need to significantly innovate and enhance the slim variant’s appeal for a successful reintroduction. Therefore, for the time being, all available information suggests Samsung is stepping away from the Edge branding, at least for the initial launch of the Galaxy S26 lineup.
