For those who do not remember, the Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered flagship launched just five months ago, and with the latest development, the company is likely to bring the \u2018Plus\u2019 variant back into the fold.<\/p>\n<p>Only the Galaxy S26 Ultra\u2019s development is progressing smoothly, with sources close to the matter saying that the Galaxy S26 Edge\u2019s cancellation has introduced some delays with the remaining models<\/p>\n<p>With the update published on Newspim, it can be concluded that Samsung will only launch the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Plus, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. After experiencing poor sales with the Galaxy S25 Edge, the Korean giant <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/samsung-starts-galaxy-s26-plus-development-due-to-poor-galaxy-s25-edge-sales\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">restarted the development of its \u2018middle of the pack\u2019 flagship<\/a>, the Galaxy S26 Plus, but there appears to be even more bad news on the horizon.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/chunvn8888\/status\/1978730992102727869?t=ISrBnhuar15TJBtMvYoGXw&amp;s=08\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">@chunvn8888<\/a>, the Galaxy S26 Edge\u2019s cancellation has delayed the development of the Galaxy S26 Pro and Galaxy S26 Plus, with no timeline provided on when Samsung intends to resume things. Thankfully, the Galaxy S26 Ultra appears to be progressing along nicely, which is unsurprising given that it is the most popular device in the family.

Definitely we will see some launch delay for both due to Edge&#8217;s sudden death.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 yawn (@chunvn8888) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/chunvn8888\/status\/1978730992102727869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Galaxy S25 Edge will officially be discontinued once the stock has been depleted, and while the slim flagship will not appeal to many due to the many compromises it makes, it does have some strengths. Firstly, let us talk about the price; at <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/4oqv8aE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">$729 on Amazon for the 512GB model,<\/a>\u00a0thanks to an incredible 40 percent discount, this smartphone is significantly cheaper than the <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/apple-iphone-air-announced-specs-features-price-availability\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">iPhone Air<\/a>\u00a0while packing some solid internals like the <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/qualcomm-officially-announces-snapdragon-8-elite\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Snapdragon 8 Elite<\/a>\u00a0and 12GB RAM.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I got the information from my independent source: <br \/>Galaxy S26 Edge is definitely gone, 100% correct.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PhoneArt (@UniverseIce) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UniverseIce\/status\/1978733847182250143?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 16, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the Galaxy S25 Edge has <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/galaxy-s25-edge-narrowly-beats-the-iphone-air-in-battery-drain-test\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">beaten the iPhone Air in a battery drain test<\/a>, while also producing <a href=\"https:\/\/wccftech.com\/galaxy-s25-edge-200mp-sensor-crop-beats-apple-5x-optical-zoom\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">better image quality with its 200MP camera in some scenarios<\/a>\u00a0against the iPhone 16 Pro\u2019s and iPhone 16 Pro Max\u2019s 5x optical zoom lens. Sure, the sleek flagship will have its advantages, but it was always a question of whether customers were ready to transition to these form factors, knowing full well the trade-offs they would get.<\/p>\n<p>Also, let us not forget the myriad options currently crowding the smartphone market, expediting the Galaxy S25 Edge\u2019s demise. Now it remains to be seen if the iPhone Air will suffer the same fate or prosper.<\/p>\n<p class=\"source\">News Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/m.newspim.com\/news\/view\/20251016000725\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Newspim<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-style: italic; border-top: 1px solid var(--gray-300); padding-top: 10px; margin-top: 20px;\">Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/profile.google.com\/cp\/Cg0vZy8xMWM3NDB2MmIyGgA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wccftech on Google<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=wccftech.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">add us as a preferred source<\/a>, to get our news coverage and reviews in your feeds.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"0-20%: Unlikely &#8211; Lacks credible sources 21-40%: Questionable &#8211; Some concerns remain 41-60%: Plausible &#8211; Reasonable evidence 61-80%:&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":229293,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[165,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-229292","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mobile","8":"tag-mobile","9":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=229292"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229292\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/229293"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=229292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=229292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=229292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
