Mumbai, October 17: The Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge may not be launched next year, as reports suggest that the company suffered losses in sales of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The South Korean tech giant launched its Galaxy S25 Edge globally in May 2025, featuring a slimmer design and a dual-camera setup on the rear. Although it initially received significant hype, the device saw lower-than-expected sales in the following months.

In the past few months, sales of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge have been disappointing for the company, and due to this, it has reportedly cancelled the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge in 2026. Newspim reported that Samsung cancelled the 'Edge' line due to receiving poor sales. iPhone 18 Pro Max and iPhone 18 Pro Launch in 2026 With Variable Aperture Lens To Take Photos in Changing Brightness and Depth of Field: Report

Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge Cancelled, Not Coming in 2026

When Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, it compromised various specifications and features in order to maintain the thin design. The company released the slim variant before Apple’s iPhone Air was launched in September. However, the smartphone did not perform well in the market in terms of sales.

The report mentioned that Samsung decided to discontinue its "ultra-slim line," also known as the "Edge" series, within five months of its ambitious launch. The Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event in January 2026 will likely include these models: Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro, Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus, and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. Samsung notified its employees about the discontinuation of the Galaxy S26 Edge smartphone and the entire "slim line." Newspim noted that the possibility of the slim line returning is low.
