Samsung began the Galaxy Edge lineup with the Galaxy S25 Edge, which launched a few months back. Then came rumours that Samsung was cancelling the Edge lineup due to slow sales. Now, it seems like Samsung may not be done with the slim phone design after all. The cancelled Galaxy S26 Edge may come back in another form, just under a different name.
According to a report from GalaxyClub , Samsung has been working on a new phone going by the codename “ More Slim ,” a successor to the Galaxy S25 Edge codenamed “Slim.” The report reveals that the More Slim production started way earlier than the Galaxy S26 Edge story even surfaced, meaning it was a different phone entirely.
Project Objectives Codename: More Slim (redacted) Target Thickness: < 5.56mm Display: 6.6” Dynamic AMOLED 2X, LTPO 2.5, 1–120Hz adaptive refresh Battery Goal: ≥ 4,300mAh (Stacked Li-pol cell, Gen4 chemistry) SoC: Exynos 2600 — S (@SPYGO19726) October 30, 2025
Samsung seems to be working on software for the Galaxy S26 Edge. An X user, CID , spotted firmware files that align with those intended for the phone. The firmware files were associated with the allegedly cancelled Galaxy S26 Edge and not the More Slim model. Another X user, SPYGO19726, shared that Samsung is aiming for a flagship phone that is thinner than the 5.8mm Galaxy S25 Edge and even the 5.6mm iPhone Air, with a thickness of less than 5.56mm.
Talking about specifications, More Slim will come with a 6.6-inch LTPO display, powered by Samsung’s Exynos 2600 SoC, with a bigger 4,300mAh battery compared to the S25 Edge’s 3,900mAh capacity. It is expected to feature an aluminium frame and a reinforced titanium substructure, like the iPhone Air. For the camera, the new Galaxy S26 Edge will pack a 50MP primary sensor and a 50MP ultrawide sensor, with a periscope zoom lens.
More Slim Specs
These specifications were shared by a relatively new leaker, and are to be taken with a pinch of salt. Even so, the More Slim rumour seems to align with Samsung’s wider plans for the Edge lineup. The company only launched its thin flagship for a few months. Scrapping the ultra-thin phone idea completely would be too soon, considering that the company only manufactured the first generation device in the thin lineup. And with Apple still in the game, the company won’t be that willing to back down.
The follow-up to the Galaxy S25 Edge is the More Slim phone. It won’t be coming as Galaxy S26 Edge as previous reports have stated. It will probably be under a different phone lineup just like Apple’s thin phone is the iPhone Air, having a lineup to its name. These still remain speculation until Samsung officially confirms this.

Galaxy S series phones usually launch early in the year, sometime in late January or early February. For the Galaxy S26 series , there seems to be a delay in the launch date.
Galaxy S26 will launch in February 2026
According to MoneyToday , the Galaxy S26 series could launch on February 25, 2026. Next year’s Galaxy Unpacked event will be held in San Francisco. Ever since the launch of the Galaxy S23 series, next year will be Samsung’s first return to San Francisco for a Galaxy S launch.
There have been reports of Samsung making changes to the Galaxy S series with the launch of next year’s devices — the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Galaxy S26 Edge ended up being cancelled due to the poor sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge, and the company decided to stick to its original structure.
According to reports, Samsung plans to reintroduce its Exynos chip with the 2026 devices, and this time, it will come back stronger. Some Galaxy S26 will feature the powerful Exynos 2600 chip, the world’s first 2nm-class smartphone chip. The Exynos 2600 is developed by Samsung’s System LSI arm and built on Samsung Foundry’s 2nm process node, featuring a 10-core CPU (ARM C1) and an AMD RDNA-based Xclipse 960 GPU.
The Galaxy S26 and S26+ could come with the Exynos 2600 processor in the global market, excluding Canada, China, and the USA. Some Galaxy S26 models could also run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 to be launched in selected countries like the United States, Japan, and China.
