Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge to fix its predecessor’s main issue while being even thinner

Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge in May, and there have been many rumors since claiming that next year, the Galaxy S26 Edge will replace the Plus model in Samsung’s lineup, arriving alongside the S26 and S26 Ultra in January.
Today, a new rumor from prolific Chinese leaker Ice Universe tells us to expect some interesting changes from the next Edge. Namely, it’s said to be even thinner than its 5.8mm predecessor, while also packing a larger battery.
The bigger cell will be made possible by the use of “new battery material technology”, which may instantly make you think Si/C, and sure, it could be that, but it also may not, we’ll have to wait and see.
Either way, it’s good to hear that Samsung is working on alleviating the main issue with the S25 Edge in its successor – the available device’s 3,900 mAh battery sure does enable it to be as thin as it is, but it obviously doesn’t make it a very reliable device in day-to-day use.
