Love it or hate it, Samsung’s single 2026 replacement for the Galaxy S25 Edge and Galaxy S25 Plus is just about confirmed to rock a massive rear camera island.
If you thought this year’s first-of-a-kind Galaxy S25 Edge looked. unconventional (especially before the iPhone 17 Air is unveiled), with a crazy thin 5.8mm profile and a relatively modest rear-facing camera system (at least compared to the likes of the Galaxy S25 Ultra), wait until you see the handset’s 2026 successor in high-quality product depictions.
Believe it or not, there’s no need to wait four or five more months for that, as the (almost) always trustworthy Steve Hemmerstoffer over on X has already partnered with the equally reputable folks at Android Headlines to blow the S26 Edge’s cover.
Perfectly in line with a number of recent rumors, the Galaxy S26 Edge is once again tipped to replace both the S25 Edge and S25 Plus in Samsung’s main 2026 Android flagship trio.
While the company’s Plus-branded powerhouses have never sold very well and the S25 Edge reportedly got off to an even worse start at the global box-office a few months ago, that will certainly put quite a bit of pressure on a device with a. rather unorthodox design.
The S26 Edge is incredibly expected to measure 5.5mm at its thinnest point, but also no less than 10.8mm at its thickest point due to employing a camera island that’s likely to be visible from Mars.
