Samsung may cancel the Galaxy S26

01 October 2024
2026 could be a wild year for the Korean company.

Sort by:

Vanilla S sells in Holland 3x better then the + version.
This probably is not much different in the rest of EU.

No i'd much more appy to see the + be replaced by a new S PRO version: 200MP main camera, obviously without periscope cam, but with the new 50MP 3x zoom AND the 50MP ultrawide AF.
Further on 6,4" fhd screen as it has to be at some distance to ULTRA.

    Here's better strategy for Samsung.
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    S26 Ultra (pro camera & flagship chip) 6.7"
    S26 (pro camera & flagship chip) 6.3"
    S26 FE (without periscope & flagship chip) 6.5"

    A76 6.5"
    A56 6.3"

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------

    Galaxy S26 becomes Pro camera with periscope telephoto a-la the Pixel 9 Pro & iPhone 16 Pro. 6.2" display & 70mm width. This will pair perfectly with Ultra.

    X out Galaxy S26+ it is useless without the Pro features. Rather bring out the A76 in 6.5" range.

    Make A56 smaller in 6.3" range. So many people are asking small affordable phones!!!!! Who needs bigger buys A76.

            raditz594, 02 Oct 2024The plus model is redundant. Keep the S26 and cancel the S26+Your comment is even more redundant.

                  I'd love to see some small under 160g devices again. I've gone back to using an ooooold device from 2018 just because I got fed up of my existing device that weighs so much.

Also image processing is better in alot of situations and definitely better video processing on the 2400.. yeah terrible right.

Based on what you declare that small phones aren't good? I guess you you never used a small flagship because is to expensive for you. But to call the base S 2x phone or an iphone bad really dumb

                              FE series started with the Note 7 deabacle and now it should end for good.

                              (Edit time expired so I'm quoting myself.)

                                Naming something "plus" without base model doesn't make any sense. It like making movie part 2 without part 1

                                  The base S2X always had a good weight and size, for really good performance. This would be a wrong move.

                                  Rather they should merge base S2X and S2X FE in one phone: cheap and lightweight and small, all in one.

I'm not even considering the S25 because Samsung has treated the vanilla S series as garbage lately, saving all the best features for the Ultra which is just too big of a phone for me. So I'm thinking about getting a 16 pro instead as it is still relatively compact while having all the other features of the 16 pro max.

                                      Shamrock Sean, 01 Oct 2024No the best compact phone is Pixel 9 Pro Joke of te year.
                                      The Pixel 9 pro XL scored on benchmark on GPU worse than most midrangers.
                                      So calling a flagship something with entry level specs means you need to swap your dealer.

                                        Really good news.
                                        Glad that tiny crappy useless phone called base S model not plus or ultra is gone for good.
                                        Tiny phones are useless because you cat cram good specs into tiny phones.
                                        Endurance rating is another problem and samsung overfills every phone with heavy bloatware which makes their phones even more useless and ram and specs hungry.
                                        Will not mourn for smaller samsung phones and the ones who will have to understand and go with a trend that the small phones going to extinct.
                                        I am cheering on that.
                                        Thumbs up Sammy.
