Samsung appears to be preparing a new addition to its Galaxy S26 series that could surpass the slimness of the Galaxy S25 Edge. Launched in May, the Galaxy S25 Edge was celebrated for its 5.8mm thin profile, but reportedly weaker-than-expected sales have prompted speculation about the future of the slimline model. Recent leaks suggest that instead of discontinuing the concept, Samsung may introduce a rebranded, even slimmer handset as part of the upcoming S26 series.
The new device, internally codenamed ‘More Slim,’ is said to have a remarkably thin 5.56mm profile, making it thinner than the current Galaxy S25 Edge. If true, this could position the model as one of the slimmest premium smartphones on the market, even surpassing the 5.6mm iPhone Air. Analysts believe Samsung might be using a new naming strategy to reposition its ultra-slim lineup after the S25 Edge’s lukewarm reception.
In terms of display, the ‘More Slim’ model is tipped to feature a 6.6-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X LTPO 2.5 panel with an adaptive 120Hz refresh rate. This would ensure smooth visuals and responsive touch performance, aligning with the company’s flagship-grade specifications while maintaining the ultra-slim form factor.
Battery life is also expected to see an upgrade compared with the S25 Edge. Reports indicate a 4,300mAh lithium-polymer battery will be integrated into the handset, alongside Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2600 chipset. This combination is expected to provide a balance of high performance and energy efficiency, ensuring that users won’t have to compromise on power despite the slimmer design.
