So, it seems Samsung's experiment with the Galaxy S25 Edge, a super-slimmed-down flagship, might be coming to an end sooner than expected. I remember when it launched; the idea was to beat Apple to the punch with a thinner phone. However, the latest buzz suggests that the Galaxy S26 Edge has been canceled due to underwhelming sales. It appears people just didn't vibe with the compromises made to achieve that ultra-thin design.

According to reports, Samsung might pull the plug on the "Edge" series altogether, a mere five months after launch. The big reason? Numbers weren't adding up. It looks like we're back to the classic lineup: the standard Galaxy S26 (possibly rebranded as Pro), the Plus, and the Ultra. I am very surprised by this decision, because it seems like that design has a huge potential, which was not explored properly.

What's interesting is that while the Galaxy S25, Plus, and Ultra models sold quite well (8.28 million, 5.05 million, and 12.18 million units respectively), the S25 Edge only managed 1.31 million. That's a pretty significant gap! Even considering its shorter time on the market, it's clear that it wasn't a hit. This shows us that the consumer still demands more battery power, and a good trade off between processing and hardware.

Two different sources confirmed this information, so it seems the fate of the Galaxy S26 Edge is sealed. I guess, Samsung will discontinue the S25 Edge once the inventory is depleted. The return of the Edge line? Unlikely. But, if the development has been already completed, maybe Samsung can release it separately in the future.
