We\u2019ve already seen reports about the S26 Plus model being replaced with the S26 Edge moniker, and now, the company might actually revamp the whole lineup to bring just three models in 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Yes, the Galaxy S26, S26 Plus will be moved out of the series, instead you get the S26 Edge, S26 Pro and the S26 Ultra versions in the lineup for the next flagship series from the brand. All these details have been sourced from an internal One UI 8 build, quoted in this report.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><strong>Samsung Going All New With Galaxy S26 Next Year<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The base Galaxy S26 model going away will surely be a surprise, especially since that allows more people to buy the affordable version. However, the news about S26 Plus giving way for the new Edge variant is hardly shocking, and its recent sales suggest the change was inevitable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But we are also eager to see how Samsung plans to position the \u2018Pro\u2019 version, which might become the iPhone 17 Pro rival in the Android space, with premium features but a more compact design. It is still quite early to make these assumptions, with the Galaxy S26 series not expected before February 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">And before that, the brand has bigger things to handle, especially it plans to introduce its first-ever tri-foldable device before the end of 2025. The company also launched its Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 models last month, which have probably been the most polished versions in the Galaxy fold universe till date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Samsung is ironing out the final bits of the new device to have it ready to launch before the year ends. We assume it could be around October or even November, once the iPhone 17 buzz is over. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/tech\/samsung-launched-the-galaxy-z-fold-7-but-where-is-the-tri-fold-device-9438060.html\">Samsung\u2019s tri-fold device is still a mystery at least in terms<\/a> of the features and hardware but a new leak has hinted at its possible launch price. The details from South Korea suggest the Samsung tri-fold price could be around $3,000 (Rs 2.56 lakh approx) which takes it into the Apple Vision Pro territory. <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/aadeetya-3-2023-11-9de48efa65a9ed8ed13a8932cadb6d5a.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/s-aadeetya-21044.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">S Aadeetya<\/a><\/p>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>S Aadeetya, Special Correspondent at News18 Tech, accidentally got into journalism 10 years ago, and since then, has been part of established media houses covering the latest trends in technology and helping fr&#8230;<!-- --> <span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd aurpdebtn\">Read More<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-e71bd712c195739a jsx-3473179491 artcta\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">News18 Tech delivers the latest technology updates, including phone launches, gadget reviews, AI advancements, and more.
