Well, it’s happened. Apparently, Samsung has decided to cancel the Galaxy S26 Edge. In a tragic, disappointing, and entirely unexpected move, there won’t be a second generation of Samsung’s ultra-thin flagship. And, as someone who has spent plenty of time with the Galaxy S26 Edge, comparing it to just about every other flagship out there, let me tell you, I’m shocked.
Except I’m not. I’m not shocked, even a little bit. Samsung’s goal with the Galaxy S25 Edge was clear from the start: To mooch off the hype for Apple’s upcoming iPhone Air. It wanted to beat Apple to the punch, but in its haste, forgot how to make that punch land, and now there’s no escaping its most obvious copycat attempt yet.
