TL;DR<\/p>\n

Samsung has reportedly decided to bring back the Galaxy S26 Plus.
\nThe phone could join the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra, making it a quartet of devices.
\nThe decision was apparently made due to lower-than-expected Galaxy S25 Edge sales.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve heard rumors for a while now that Samsung could replace the Galaxy S26 Plus with the Galaxy S26 Edge. In fact, we\u2019ve even uncovered evidence of this<\/a> back in July. However, it sounds like Samsung<\/a> will bring back the Galaxy S26 Plus after all.<\/p>\n

Korean outlet The Elec<\/a> (spotted via Jukanlosreve<\/a> on X) reports that Samsung has begun development on a Galaxy S26 series phone with the project name M Plus. This suggests that we\u2019re looking at a Galaxy S26 Plus. For what it\u2019s worth, the previously revealed M1, M2, and M3 project names refer to the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra<\/a>, respectively.<\/p>\n

The Elec also notes that the M Plus project has been \u201cadded,\u201d and that the M1, M2, and M3 project are still in development. This suggests that we could have four Galaxy S26 series phones next year. That\u2019s good news for fans of the Plus device. But why is Samsung making this apparent U-turn regarding the Plus model? It turns out S25 Edge sales might be the reason.<\/p>\n

\u201cSamsung Electronics recently added the (M Plus) development project due to lower-than-expected Galaxy S25 Edge sales,\u201d a source told the outlet.<\/p>\n

More specifically, it\u2019s believed that S25 Edge\u2019s planned production volume from September to December is in the \u201clow 300,000s.\u201d By contrast, the S25 Plus\u2019s planned production volume from September to December is apparently in the \u201clow 500,000s.\u201d<\/p>\n

Either way, it seems like Samsung isn\u2019t confident the Galaxy S26 Edge can deliver sales numbers to rival a Plus model. That\u2019s particularly telling as Samsung\u2019s Plus phones have traditionally been the least popular Galaxy S model each year.<\/p>\n
