- The Galaxy S26 series could not only ditch the Plus model, but could also kill the standard model.
- Evidence found in an internal One UI 8 build suggests a lineup of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
- That means Samsung may rename the base model to “Pro” and replace the “Plus” model with Edge.
Samsung’s next major release is the Galaxy S26 series, with the launch of its latest foldables now behind it. Earlier reports suggested Samsung might drop the “Plus” model entirely in 2026 and introduce an “Edge” model in its place. If those rumors hold up, the lineup would include the Galaxy S26, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra. But Samsung’s rebranding and strategy pivot might go even further than that.
