It’s been a complete mess for Samsung—or at least it seems that way from the outside. First, the company was thought to be replacing the Galaxy S26 Plus with the S26 Edge.
Later, reports suggested that the S26 Plus was back in the lineup and that there wouldn’t be a Galaxy S26 Edge instead. In fact, the entire Edge series was said to have been dropped.
Even slimmer than Edge: More Slim
Now, a wild new rumor claims there’s more to this story. According to the Dutch site GalaxyClub, the S26 Edge has indeed been scrapped, but Samsung hasn’t given up on making a slim flagship. The company is reportedly developing another thin phone, internally codenamed “More Slim.”
The report states that Samsung has been working on this mystery device for a few months now, although its development began significantly later than previously thought to be the S26 Edge project.
The previous S25 Edge carried the internal codename “Slim,” so it does make “More Slim” sound like a deliberate continuation of that idea.
Now, we don’t know much about this More Slim device, except that the name itself hints it could be even slimmer than the now-scrapped S26 Edge.
We’re not entirely sure what Samsung’s logic is here. The S25 Edge was already an expensive phone for what it offered—you got a dual-camera setup with no telephoto lens and a small 3,900mAh battery.
Making the next iteration even thinner will likely drive up costs, as Samsung would need to custom-engineer components to fit more into even less space. And even then, how does the company plan to improve on common complaints about the S25 Edge, like battery in an even slimmer design?
Samsung must have a plan in mind, and we’ll likely learn more about it in the near future.
