Galaxy S26 Edge: Will Samsung Create the Thinnest Phone Ever?
Rumors are swirling that Samsung might be ditching the Galaxy S26 Plus for a new
Galaxy S26 Edge. If the leaks are true, we could be looking at a seriously slim device, potentially rivaling the rumored iPhone 17 Air in terms of thinness. According to trusted leaker Ice Universe, the S26 Edge could be a mere 5.5mm thick. That's even thinner than the current Galaxy S25 Edge! I mean, we're talking about a phone that could almost disappear in your pocket. But it's not just about shedding millimeters. The same source suggests a
4,200mAh battery. That's a notable increase from the S25 Edge's 3,900mAh, and a much larger capacity than the ~2,900mAh said to be in the iPhone 17 Air. If you remember the Galaxy S25 Edge, it was praised for its sleek design and decent main camera. However, it also received criticism for its less-than-stellar battery life and thermal performance. No one wants a phone that gets too hot in your hands, right? It seems Samsung is also considering a revamp of the entire S26 lineup. We might see a
Galaxy S26 Pro, an S26 Edge, and the top-tier S26 Ultra. The "Pro" model would replace the standard S26, while the Edge would take the place of the S26 Plus. It will be interesting to see if Samsung can address those previous shortcomings while pushing the boundaries of phone design. Let's hope the S26 Edge lives up to the hype and delivers a well-rounded experience.
