Samsung to launch the Galaxy S26 series in three sizes, but no 'Plus' model this time

The Galaxy S25 Edge was Samsung's answer to the growing trend of slim phones. The phone was teased a couple of times before being unveiled on May 13. While everyone assumed that it was another phone in the S-series lineup, a report from May suggested that Samsung had a different thought behind it.

Samsung was reportedly eyeing to replace the "Plus" model from the S-series with the Edge model. The reason? The "Plus" model was the weakest performer of the lot, even though it is more feature-loaded than the "Edge."

Now, another report by The Elec has popped up online, adding more weight to this purported strategy. The Galaxy S26 series is roughly six months away from launch, and reportedly, the Korean tech giant has started working on three S26 models: the standard Galaxy S26, the slim Galaxy S26 Edge, and the premium Galaxy S26 Ultra.

The news outlet also spilled the beans about the display sizes of the upcoming models. Notably, the Galaxy S26 could feature a 6.27-inch display, the S26 Edge a 6.66-inch display, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra may come with a 6.89-inch panel. All models of the S26 series are expected to feature rounded corners, similar to previous models.

The display sizes also reveal that the base Galaxy S26 could come with a slightly larger display than the S25 (6.2-inch). With premium models now close to 7-inches, base models are also following the same trend and are no longer a compact offering.

But that's not all. Trusted news source WinFuture has revealed camera details about the top-of-the-line S26 Ultra. According to the source, it will feature a 200MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto camera with 5x optical zoom. On the other hand, the Galaxy S26 Edge will feature a 50MP ultrawide camera, in line with this year's Galaxy S25 Edge.
