Goodbye, Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus?

47 thoughts on “Goodbye, Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus?”

1. This is just good marketing.
   The vanilla S phones are high-end flagships with three cameras. That's "Pro" in Apple language.

2. This is bad news for me. I am interested in switching from iPhone to Samsung for my next phone. I may still wait for the S27 line up to upgrade but if this is the new trend Samsung wants to go down, I am now feeling less confident switching over. Good job Samsung.

3. These samsung s26 models are disappointing

4. Why are they killing compact phones?

5. this is good news?! they should have had a pro size phone with flagship cameras and other specs years ago. One of the key reasons Apple is winning is that there is no pro galaxy phone for those who dont want a humongous screen in their pockets. those people buy iphone pros rn.

6. As someone who owned the S3, s7, S22 that sounds like bad news for me as I don't want to pay a lot for an upgrade

7. No the edge sucks I rather buy the s25 plus

8. Samsung really downgraded there battery now

9. I'm gonna miss the plus version it's my favorite. I have the s22+ & s23+ I also have the s22U & s25U. This is why they're gonna make the s25fe more premium this year. I wouldn't mind the edge as long as it has better battery life.

10. I've been waiting for Samsung to launch a flagship phone in the size of iPhone pro models without sacrificing specs.
    I've been a Samsung user for a long time but never liked the size and shape of ultra phones.

11. I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 FE And I love the Samsung Galaxy S24 FE Because the Battery and the Camera are Absolutely Amazing

12. So, it will be a standart version with the already expected upgrade on cameras, and a plus version with less battery, all with a new name to justify a price increase

13. But we don't want any chip that's made by Samsung what an shortchanged and their world slower charging speed 😂

14. a little pool: would you rother buy a fancy, thin phone, that dies after 3 hours of screen on time, with lenses that anyway double the thickness in some areas and which is hard to pickup from flat surface, or boring, extra thick phone (like 15mm), with 12 hours screen on, easy to lift from your desk, giving good grip, with lenses that don't stick out?

15. 8:15 The app is… well, hope is secure enough.

16. Edge model needs to have curve display
    Ultra needs to be note boxy design
    And a compact model
    3 flagships this will increase sales and what consumer wants !!

17. S25 = iphone 16 pro because the S is PRO

18. Just like the galaxy note, they didn't discontinue it, they just rebranded it as the ultra to the s series

19. Phone release should be every two years.
    Maybe they can release Ultra and Edge next year and then Fan Edition and Pro the year after that. That's the only way they can sell more phones annually.

20. In which universe a S25 is not DIRECTLY competing against the iPhone 16 Pro ???

21. That's why I picked up the S25 plus. I knew it was going to become an end of an era with those.

22. Smiles with my A series

23. GROWTH. But how can a corporation "grow" if their customers are increasingly more broke?

24. The 25 edge is a phenomenal phone. The rumors are pointing at the 26 edge getting thinner and a larger battery. It just keeps getting better.

25. That's one of the dumbest thing I've heard that s25 is worser than pixel 9 pro

26. I still have an s23 ultra. It's not paid off yet but will be soon

27. Samsung should have kept the note series and release it as ultra model later the year. S26 as smaller affordable phone compact like S25. S26 plus as pro model with better specs than usual plus models with same size and lastly edge as slightly bigger but thin model.

28. I understand the s26 edge instead of plus… But as a happy base s23 user, this is unfortunate. The standard S phone is a great size and always comes at by far the best deal, especially a few months after release. If the price stays the same, that's fine. The flagship snapdragon chip and 120hz 1080p display are the essentials – which the current S25 does. It's due for a camera redisign, but that shouldn't make for a price increase after this long. These base level flagship phones are an inportant phone to exist.

29. Nooo… i like the standard S series 😢 I've been using S25 to replace my iphone pro max and loving it ❤

30. Bigger batteries please

31. If S26 PRO rumors are true = INSTANT BUY!

32. They need to keep the plus😭 or make the pro model the size of a plus

33. As long as they have the ultra and put bluetooth back in the Spen.

34. If they start making the base models have the same specs and features as the flagship model ill downgrade my screen size a little to save money. Im thinking AR devices will be getting more and more popular. Screen size wont matter with a good pair of AR glasses

35. They should finally stop releasing a phone evedy year.

36. Samsung dex should be something samesung really leans into. These phones are getting really capable and i see peoples phones replacing their gaming pcs in a few years if the support and performance is there

37. I guess I will skip S26 and hold out for S27.

38. There is no more a need for a yearly release for the flagship.

39. I can't stand these ridiculous name changes. First they rebranded the Note the Ultra and now this. How pointless

40. Pro to what?
    There has to be a base version to justify that gap.
    Don't tell me it's FE

41. We need to move beyond yearly releases. Tech is moving slower now which has led to copy and paste phone generations, not to mention a rise in e-waste. Each generation is the same as the last except for a minor tweak here or there. We need to be on 3 year generations so we can have some true upgrades with each new release. It also gives the engineers time to innovate and problem solve. There's nothing wrong with selling the same phone for a few years straight. They will still sell as people require an upgrade from previous generations. If I bought an S24 the trade year it released, I'd likely need a new phone sometime through the S25's life cycle because that's 6 years. By the end of the S25 generation, 80% of Samsung users would be on the S25 platform. That's A LOT of S25's being sold. Same for the S26, the S27, etc..

42. How would there be a pro without having a regular?? They have Ultras against the pixel pros and iphone pros!!.. i call BS on this analysis

43. Smart move. Samsung want to push and focus on the following line

    Samsung galaxy edge
    Samsung s ultra
    Samsung flip
    Samsung fold

    Thats what going to be 2026 Samsung drive

44. Samsung is doing what its can to cappie apple 😂😂😂

45. I've reported this video to Nintendo.

46. The Edge baffles me. Who is it for? People buying the normal S won't buy it because it's too expensive, Ultra people won't buy it because it's missing most top end features and it's fairly close to price of the Ultra.

    No one in the last 5 (maybe even 10 years) has complained their phone is too thick, but what they do complain about is bad battery. Who is buying an unnecessarily thin expensive phone with worse battery. Honestly I'd love to know who the demographic this is aimed at, I can normally work it out, but not this time.

47. The fck. Ive been buying the plus forever. I aren't buying the edge, i need a all day battery life. Im not buying the Ultra. Its way to big for my hands. I guess its about time to jump ship
