Samsung replaced the Galaxy S26 Edge with the Galaxy S26+ . This decision by the company didn’t come early enough as expected and it made the work on the S26+ not to start on time.
However, Samsung is working hard to achieve this aim. Korean publication, The Elec, revealed some thoughts of insiders, showing last-minute changes in this regard.
It seems the company planned to have the new display panel, initially developed for the S26 Edge, featured on the Plus model. But it was obvious that after the decision, Samsung didn’t have enough time left for the replacement. Thus, the S26+ will feature an almost identical panel as the Galaxy S25+. However, it’s expected to use a new glass.
According to reports, the new display of vanilla Galaxy S26 will measure 6.27” , making it 0.11” bigger than the 6.16” panel on the outgoing Galaxy S25. Probably the S26 Edge panel would have been bigger, as last year’s S25+ and S25 Edge featured 6.7” panels.
More info from the Elec’s report has it that the Galaxy S26 Ultra went into mass production in December 2025. As it stands now, the production targets are 3.6 million Ultras, 700,000 vanilla phones and 600,000 Plus models. Though the targets will surely increase next month as the company plans higher volumes for the vanilla and Plus models respectively.
Meanwhile, Samsung hasn’t officially confirmed the date to unveil the Galaxy S26 series. However it’s expected to launch on 25th February. If this happens, it will be launching a month later than the S25 series did last year.

YouTube has disabled the long-supported specialised caption option. For channels that rely on advanced subtitles, this is a big deal. The SRV3 format, known for allowing specialised captions with colours, outlines, and positioning, is now disabled. The upload option has been removed, and the existing files are being taken down.
In a Reddit post, creators shared their observations, noting that YouTube’s Creator Studio no longer has the option to upload SRV3 files . Many users also reported that their live videos were losing previously uploaded files. It seems the company is actively implementing the change and removing the associated files, and it isn’t just a simple interface change.
The SRV3 format on YouTube allowed for a more detailed subtitle design compared to the basic tools on the platform. Creators could add multiple colours, drop shadows, and precise placement, making translations clearer without cluttering the screen. It’s a commonly used tool in Japanese and Korean channels, including VTuber productions, where bilingual transcription is common.
The SRV3 format is particularly popular for its ability to support stacked text and let original dialogue appear above translated lines in custom fonts. This has helped disabled viewers and international audiences follow content more easily. While it’s popular among a small audience, YouTube is working to completely scrap it off from its platform.
This sudden change of removing the SRV3 format from YouTube has garnered criticism from worldwide users and established groups such as Hololive, whose international branches depend on advanced caption workflows. Although Google has yet to release any official statement regarding this new development, users and creators hope the company brings back the format or makes provision for specialised captions.
