It might be just me and it might be too early to draw conclusions, but it feels like Samsung is focusing more on making the Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Edge interesting than the Galaxy S26 Ultra.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last six months or so, you probably already know that the Galaxy S25 Ultra is a bigger box-office hit than the «vanilla» S25 and the S25 Plus. Despite its. uncomfortable price point, the largest and most sophisticated member of Samsung’s latest (non-foldable) ultra-high-end handset family has managed to continue a trend noticed in recent years, substantially outselling its smaller and cheaper brothers right off the bat and maintaining that global advantage to this day (presumably).
But while you might expect the world’s top smartphone vendor to do everything in its power to keep the sales balance of its most impressive products tipped in favor of the costliest model, I’m starting to feel like Samsung is focusing less on the Galaxy S26 Ultra and more on the sequels to the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Edge.
Because if it is, then we might be in for a world of mediocrity here. Mediocrity by Android flagship standards, of course, but mediocrity nonetheless. Allow me to very simply illustrate that point with a quick list of product names and numbers:
OnePlus 13 — 100W;
OnePlus 13R — 80W;
OnePlus Nord CE4 — 100W;
Motorola Edge 60 Pro — 90W;
Motorola Edge 50 Pro — 125W;
Motorola Edge (2025) — 68W;
Motorola Razr Ultra (2025) — 68W;
Nothing Phone (3) — 65W;
Xiaomi 15 Ultra — 90W;
Xiaomi 15 — 90W;
