Samsung reportedly cancels Galaxy S26 Edge

Samsung may have beaten Apple to the thin and light phone trend with the Galaxy S25 Edge, but it seems that it won’t follow up with a successor anytime soon. According to multiple reports, the Galaxy S26 Edge has been canceled due to the S25 Edge’s low sales volumes. South Korea’s NewsPim reports that Samsung is apparently set to discontinue the Edge series altogether once it clears all stock of the S25 Edge.

An unnamed Samsung official was quoted:

I’m not sure if the slim line (i.e. Edge line) will ever return, but as of now, it seems unlikely. It’s practically gone. - anonymous Samsung official

Despite the ongoing uncertainty, the report from Korea suggests that Samsung has already completed its Galaxy S26 Edge development and will likely launch the device sometime in the future, but not under the Edge lineup.

This news isn’t that surprising as we’ve already seen reports from earlier this year that confirm the S25 Edge’s struggling sales.

According to data from Hana Investment & Securities, the S25 Edge shipments amounted to 1.31 million units as of August. These figures pale in comparison to the Galaxy S25 (8.28 million), S25+ (5.05 million) and S25 Ultra (12.18 million).

Samsung is now expected to launch three Galaxy S26 devices with the Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Plus and S26 Ultra in January.
