Samsung’s ultra-slim Galaxy S25 Edge turned heads with its impossibly thin 5.8mm profile, but it also came with a major compromise, its battery size. You purchased this phone for its looks and feel, not for its practicality or endurance. But its successor might be a lot more practical. A fresh rumor hints at the Galaxy S26 Edge nailing both design and battery.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge: Bigger Battery but Somehow Thinner?
The Galaxy S25 Edge wasn’t the big success the South Korean tech giant was hoping it to be, owing to its hefty price tag and lacklustre battery life. But the brand is not giving up just yet, with new rumors from Ice Universe claiming that the upcoming S26 Edge will bring notable upgrades. As one would expect, the first thing Samsung could be fixing is the battery capacity that will bump the battery life.
However, these improvements extend to the design as well. The Galaxy S25 Edge was already pretty slim and light, but the Galaxy S26 Edge is reportedly getting even thinner (somehow). To recall, the S25 Edge had a super thin 5.8mm body that weighed just 163 grams. So despite having a taller display than the base Galaxy S25, it had a nearly identical heft. Samsung packed a flagship chipset and the S25 Ultra’s camera in this thin and light chassis.
Unfortunately, the 3,900mAh battery was its Achilles heel. Adding to its cons, Samsung released this flagship for a starting price tag of 1,099 US Dollars. This made it impractical for power users and inaccessible to the broader audience as well. Although these improvements would easily make it an attractive phone, even with its exorbitant pricing.
