The rumors around Galaxy S26 Edge They have taken an unexpected turn. In recent days, several publications have claimed that Samsung would have canceled this model by 2026, but new clues indicate that the idea of an ultra-thin mobile phone is still valid in another form. The key? An internal project with the codename «More Slim».
The confusion comes from afar: first there was talk of replacing the Galaxy S26+ for a Galaxy S26 Edge; after recovering the Galaxy S26+ and bury the Galaxy S26 Edge. Currently, reports agree that Samsung has been working for months on an even thinner phone that would take up the concept of the Galaxy S25 Edge (whose internal alias was “Slim”). It is not clear if it will see the light of day with the name Galaxy S26 Edgeanother trade name or even later than expected.
What is “More Slim” and what about the Galaxy S26 Edge?
According to this information, “More Slim” would not be the original Galaxy S26 Edgebut a later development that seeks to go one step further in thinness and lightness. The most plausible interpretation is that Samsung is still betting on an ultra-thin flagship, even if it is reviewing its launch schedule and its place in the range. If he Galaxy S25 Edge prioritized extreme design with concessions in battery and cameras, this new attempt could achieve a better balance to avoid the commercial mistakes of the previous model.
The choice of code names seems coherent: if the Galaxy S25 Edge was “Slim”, calling the next one “More Slim” suggests concept continuity. It would also explain why some leakers talk about Edge «cancelled» and others of Edge “paused”: the commercial project as planned would have been stopped, but the idea of an ultra-thin Galaxy would continue its course as a parallel line.
Calendar and snap on the Galaxy S26 range
Another piece of the puzzle is calendar. Sources suggest that the development of “More Slim” began later than that of the “classic” Galaxy S26 (the Galaxy S26, the Galaxy S26+ and the Galaxy S26 Ultra). That would open two scenarios: that debuted months later of the main trio, as happened in practice with the Galaxy S25 Edgeor even generation skip and does not present itself formally as Galaxy S26 Edge. In parallel, the return of the Galaxy S26+ would reinforce the traditional catalog for those who prioritize autonomy, the camera and the price over the obsession with thickness.
For the user, this translates into more realistic expectations: if it arrives, the ultra-thin model would not compete directly on all fronts with the Galaxy S26 Ultrabut would propose an experience of extreme design with measured compromises. And for Samsung, it would allow diversifying the offer without forcing the buyer to do without the Plus format, which has historically worked well in sales.
What this leak leaves us with: a thinner (and later) Edge
However, the message that remains is clear: Samsung has not thrown away the Edge conceptbut it does seem to be repositioning it. If “More Slim” crystallizes, we will see a Galaxy even finer than Galaxy S25 Edgewith improvements where there were previously concessions. The question is when it will arrive and with what name. Are you seduced by the idea of a Galaxy ultra-thin even if it means sacrificing a little battery or camera compared to a Plus/Ultra? We read you in the comments.
