Samsung has reportedly canceled its slim and trim Edge series after releasing just one device in the lineup. The company announced the Galaxy S25 Edge in May this year and was, in fact, working on the S26 Edge for launch next year.
However, Samsung has now scrapped the idea of slim phones in its flagship Galaxy lineup, according to a report from South Korea’s NewsPim. The news was later corroborated by several industry tipsters and media outlets independently.
Low sales of the S25 Edge appear to be the main reason behind the discontinuation of the Edge series. Reportedly, the phone sold only 190,000 units in its first month after launch. During the same period, the S25 sold 1.17 million units, the S25 Plus sold 840,000, and the S25 Ultra reached 2.55 million units.
As of August, cumulative sales of the Edge stood at 1.31 million units, compared to 8.28 million for the S25, 5.05 million for the Plus, and 12.18 million for the Ultra.
S26 Edge might see the light of day
Interestingly, there had been internal discussions at one point within Samsung about not renewing the Galaxy S26 Plus and instead replacing it with the S25 Edge. Samsung has reportedly now resumed development of the S26 Plus, but, ironically, has decided to discontinue the Edge entirely.
That said, there’s still some hope that Samsung might eventually launch the Galaxy S26 Edge, as reports suggest the company has already completed much of its development. The device might get a separate release in the future. In fact, high-quality renders of the phone leaked back in September, showing a camera module design spanning the width of the rear panel.
So, Samsung seems to have been quite far along in the development process, meaning it’s still possible that the S26 Edge could materialize despite everything.
