The recent official presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has been a reminder that the Korean company is still at the forefront in the development of smartphones. It is the most fine ‘premium’ model on the market, without making notable sacrifices in important aspects such as power, photography, or battery. But it also brings bad news under your arm.
The last filtration published by the Korean medium The ELEC reveals that The Galaxy S26+ is going to be canceledand that will be replaced by the EDGE model. It is a decision that has all the meaning of the world, and that was expected for years, but that is still painful for users who still have the Plus model among their favorite smartphones.
Of all models of the galaxy s range, Plus has always been the most misunderstood. It is not as cheap as the basic model, nor does it offer the same ‘hardware’ pointer as the ultra model; It is found in an uncomfortable middle ground that is its greatest weakness, but at the same time, its greatest strength. In fact, although it is forgotten by many buyers, for many others it is their preferred mobile for these reasons.
The Galaxy S25+, for example, is an ideal mobile for those who want a larger screen (6.7 inches compared to 6.2 of the Galaxy S25) but It has other advantages over the basic modelas a faster capacity battery and even compatibility with UWB (Ultra-Wideband for devices such as trackers) such as the Ultra Galaxy S25. Unfortunately, the Plus model has always had difficulty attracting consumers, and it is expected to represent only 6.7 million of the 37.7 million units that Samsung expects to sell from the Galaxy S25 range.
This is not the first time that his early death is reported; But this occasion seems to be the definitive one. And now Samsung has an appropriate substitutea device that is also halfway to the basic model and the ultra, but that is a bit more expensive; We speak, of course, of the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Being honest, There are fewer reasons to buy a S25+ Now that the S25 Edge has reached the market. The new model is not only thinner and light, but it has a better main camera; However, the Edge is left behind in an aspect as important as the battery, and costs 100 euros more departure. But that is not enough justification for Samsung to maintain four different models in its high range, especially if you want to save on production and development costs.

For all this, the filtration that Samsung will not launch a S26+ galaxy is not entirely surprising; The next range will be composed of the Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, the company’s managers do not want to complete the Plus model, at least not for now.
The future of the Plus model will depend largely on the success of the Galaxy S25 Edge. According to journalist Max Jambor, it is true that Samsung is considering the end of the Galaxy S25+, but that the final decision has not yet been taken. The address is Waiting to see what the sales of the Galaxy S25 edge are Before signing the decision; If they do not reach the expected level, they will probably prefer to continue with the Plus model and simply adopt the improvements of the EDGE in the next generations. However, taking into account that European suppliers seem “happy” with the Galaxy S25 Edge, and that high sales are expected, this hope can end soon.
