Samsung has confirmed that its upcoming Galaxy S26 series will not feature the much-rumoured Galaxy S26 Pro or Galaxy S26 Edge models, putting an end to weeks of speculation among smartphone enthusiasts.
The clarification follows a wave of leaks that suggested major changes to Samsung’s flagship lineup. Some reports even hinted that the Edge variant could replace the Plus model, or that a Pro version might replace the standard Galaxy S26.
What Samsung has confirmed
A promotional document released by Samsung Colombia for the upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event lists only three devices: the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26+, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. Notably, the material makes no reference to either a Pro or Edge variant, strongly indicating that these models will not debut with this year’s flagship release.

(@SamMobiles) January 16, 2026While the absence of the Pro and Edge models will disappoint some fans, the document does not completely rule out their arrival in the future. Industry observers note that Samsung could still revive the Edge branding at a later stage, but current signals suggest the company is prioritising a more streamlined lineup for now.
What to expect next
For consumers hoping for a Galaxy S26 Pro or S26 Edge, the final word will come during Samsung’s official Galaxy Unpacked event, where the company is expected to outline its long-term strategy for the S-series.
Until then, the confirmed S26 lineup points to Samsung doubling down on its core models, with the Ultra expected to remain the brand’s most feature-packed flagship for 2026.
