Famous phone brand is shelving its best-selling model
According to strong claims circulating in technology circles, the "Plus" model, which has been available to users in the Samsung Galaxy S series for a long time, will be replaced by a brand new variant.
The Galaxy S26 series, which the company will introduce in 2026, is expected to be offered in three new versions: Galaxy S26, Galaxy S26 Edge and Galaxy S26 Ultra.
With this change, Samsung will move away from the classic structure it has adopted in its flagship phones and switch to a new strategy.
The phrase 'edge' is making a comebackAccording to a report in Teknolojioku, the "Edge" name expected to be included in the new series is a name Samsung has previously used on some of its models and has garnered considerable interest from users. The Edge model aims to offer more elegant lines, thinner bezels, and a premium display experience.
Analysts believe the Plus model has become less diverse over time, leading Samsung to suggest it's planning to phase out the Plus and replace it with a strikingly designed Edge model.
CHANGE IS NOT LIMITED TO PHONESSamsung's strategic shift may not be limited to smartphones. According to the same sources, the company is also preparing to ditch the "Plus" model in its Galaxy Tab S tablet line. This signals a simplification and clear segmentation goals for the brand's mobile product line.
NO OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM SAMSUNG YETSamsung has yet to officially comment on these claims. However, in recent years, the brand has been showing a tendency to simplify its product line and focus more clearly on user segments. In this context, it's quite possible that the new strategy, which is gradually taking shape towards 2026, will become official.
This change may become more visible, especially with the new tablet models expected to be introduced at the end of the year.
Samsung's decision to discontinue the "Plus" model and replace it with the "Edge" brand seems aligned with its goal of revamping the user experience. However, the impact of this move on the user experience will become clearer with the launch of the Galaxy S26 series.
All eyes are now on how Samsung will manage this strategic transformation. Developments are being followed with great interest.
