It’s been a wild ride over the past few weeks in Samsung rumor land. The Korean company was initially said to be replacing the Galaxy S26+ with the Galaxy S26 Edge, but then it apparently went the exact other way round, with the S26 Edge cancelled and the S26+ back in action.
Now a new rumor claims there’s more to the story, and while the originally planned S26 Edge has indeed been scrapped, this is now likely to be replaced with another phone. That’s because a device with the codename More Slim is now allegedly in development, which is interesting since the S25 Edge was codenamed Slim.

Furthermore, the development of the More Slim started later than that of the phone that’s thought to be the S26 Edge. So it looks like Samsung changed its mind and scrapped that while working on another S26 Edge. Since the development started later, this may arrive, just like the S25 Edge, later in the year compared to the main S-series flagship family, which we most recently heard is delayed until March to account for the necessary development time for the S26+.
With a codename like More Slim, we expect the S26 Edge to be even thinner than its predecessor, which begs the question – was the S25 Edge not being slim enough its main issue? We’d argue the battery life and camera situation might be most people’s main problems with it, but Samsung apparently disagrees. We’re anxious to find out how slim the S26 Edge will actually be, and what we’ll lose in order to make that happen.
