At this point, the Galaxy S26 Edge — Samsung's rumored follow-up to the Galaxy S25 Edge that debuted earlier this year — feels a little bit like the Schrödinger's cat of phone updates. It's simultaneously cancelled or on course to arrive with the rest or the Galaxy S26 lineup next year.
The cancelled claims surfaced after a news report cited less-than-encouraging Galaxy S25 Edge sales that caused Samsung to abandon plans to include an Edge in the S26 lineup, possibly as a replacement for the neither fish-nor-fowl Plus model. Prominent leakers echoed those claims, and now reports have Samsung pushing back its phone launch to late February/early March as it scrambles to get the Galaxy S26 lineup back in shape.
