Galaxy S26 Edge Leak: Rumors and Hopes Rise
Here’s a summary of the article about the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge:
Key Points:
* Possible Revival: Despite reports suggesting the Galaxy S26 Edge was cancelled due to poor sales of previous “Edge” models, a new leak offers a glimmer of hope.
* BIS Certification: the phone (model number SM-S947B/DS) allegedly appeared on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification list in India on January 2nd.This suggests Samsung has at least considered launching it in that market.
* Conflicting Reports: There’s uncertainty about the S26 lineup. Initial plans suggested replacing the “Plus” model with the “Edge,” but recent reports indicate Samsung might stick with the base, Plus, and Ultra models, launching the Edge separately.
* Leaker Confirmation: Reliable leaker Ice Universe believes cancelling the S26 Edge now would be a meaningful loss, as the product is nearly finished.
* Potential Launch Timeline: The main S26 lineup is expected in February (a slight delay from the usual January launch). If launched at all, the S26 Edge might arrive in May, following the pattern of its predecessor.
In essence, the S26 Edge’s fate is still up in the air, but this new certification filing and insider comments suggest it hasn’t been fully ruled out.
