The tech giant originally planned to follow it up with a sequel, but ultimately <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-edge-cancelled-report-3607637\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ended up canceling<\/a> the Galaxy S26 Edge due to poor sales. As it turns out, the compromises required to shrink the phone down were not worth the squeeze. Although Samsung is no longer working on the S26 Edge, it did get far enough in the development process to create dummy units that we\u2019re now seeing for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/andauth.co\/AAGooglePreferredSource\" class=\"e_Em\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\"><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge light@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_light@2x.png\"\/><img class=\"e_Gg\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"  title=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\"  alt=\"google preferred source badge dark@2x\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/google_preferred_source_badge_dark@2x.png\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Courtesy of reputable tipster <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/OnLeaks\/status\/1988653750287003832\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">OnLeaks<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter), what appears to be real-world photos of a Galaxy S26 Edge dummy have surfaced online. There are four pictures in total that do a good job of signaling just how thin the S26 Edge would\u2019ve been. One image shows the dummy getting measured, and the other three are comparison shots between it and an iPhone 16 Pro.<\/p>\n<p>It appears that the dummy measures 5.5mm thick, which is pretty impressive. That makes this dummy unit 0.3mm thinner than the 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge. It even manages to beat out the iPhone 17 Air, which comes in at 5.6mm thick.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of the day, the market speaks for itself. People just aren\u2019t that interested in ultra-thin phones, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidauthority.com\/apple-iphone-air-2-production-plans-paused-3614594\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Apple<\/a> has also learned. That could change once these companies find a way to create one without having to make all of the compromises. Still, it\u2019s interesting to see this dummy model as it gives us a glimpse at what could\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you for being part of our community.
