Samsung’s phone lineup hasn’t changed much since 2020, when the Galaxy S20 series set the precedent of a base, Plus, and Ultra model every year. There have been some additions, such as the more budget-friendly FE variants or this year’s thinner Galaxy S25 Edge, but by and large, the formula has been the same for the last five years. That could change in 2026, as Samsung may pivot to a Galaxy S26 Pro, Edge, and Ultra.
If that is the case, the phone I’d be most interested in is the Galaxy S26 Pro. The “Pro” name carries weight, especially in the world of iPhones and Pixels, and there are certain upgrades I’d like to see over the S25 for the S26 Pro to live up to its new name.
