As many of you know, IS22 UltraI have been collecting dummy units and making leaked videos for a long time, and80 to 90 percent of the leaks I shared in the S23, S24 and S25 series ended up coming true.This time too, to me.S26 Ultra, S26 and S26 Edge–has a dummy unit, and today’s discussion is based on that experience.

Big update about S26 Edge

Let’s start with the biggest news—Samsung is not bringing the S26 Edge model this year.
Initially, Samsung planned to launch this phone, and that’s why dummy units were also created, which are now being seen in the market. However, the company later changed its mind. The reason is very clear:The market demand for super slim phones is very low.
Apple’s iPhone Air also didn’t sell as well as expected. So Samsung realized that most users prefer a balanced build, performance, and battery life over an extremely thin phone. As a resultS26 Edge has been officially canceled।

Launch timeline

Samsung usually launches its S-series in January every year. But this time all the leaks and reports are indicating,The S26 series will launch in the last week of February or the first week of March.The main reason for the delay is that the decision to cancel the S26 Edge was taken at the very last minute. Time was needed for launch recalibration.
