Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge Plans Reportedly Dropped Amidst Poor Sales of Ultra-Thin Phones
Samsung has reportedly cancelled the Galaxy S26 Edge, signalling a pullback from ultra-thin smartphones after weak demand in 2025. Poor sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge and Apple’s iPhone Air suggest buyers prefer better battery life, cameras, and performance over slim designs. The S25 Edge faced criticism for its small battery and missing telephoto camera. With Apple also scaling back its ultra-thin plans and Samsung lacking silicon-carbon batteries, both companies appear to be prioritising practicality over extreme thinness.
