Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge looks set to fix two big gripes from last year’s model. If new leaks are right, Samsung’s next edge phone will be even thinner and pack a larger battery. That’s huge news because last year’s super-slim S25 Edge had to shrink its battery to stay light. This time, they’re using new tech to give us both.
Galaxy S26 Edge Thinner Design: What We Know
The Galaxy S25 Edge already felt incredibly thin in your hand. But tipster @UniverseIce says the Galaxy S26 Edge will shave off even more thickness. We’re talking “one of the skinniest phones ever” territory. How? Samsung’s likely using space-saving tricks inside and tougher, lighter materials outside. If they pull this off, it’ll be a dream for pocket space and one-hand use.
Finally – A Real All-Day Battery?
Here’s the best part: That slimmer body might hold a bigger battery. The S25 Edge’s small power pack was its weakest spot. For the Galaxy S26 Edge, Samsung’s reportedly using a “new battery material” (maybe carbon-silicon like Chinese brands) to squeeze more juice into less space. Paired with a super-efficient 2nm Snapdragon chip, this could mean way longer battery life. No more scrambling for a charger by dinnertime!
They’re also boosting wireless charging to 50W – matching top rivals. Imagine juicing up halfway during your morning coffee. Faster wired charging is likely too, though leaks haven’t confirmed specs yet. If Samsung nails the cooling, this phone could last years without the battery fading fast.
Samsung shook things up last year by adding the S25 Edge. Now, rumors say the Galaxy S26 Edge might replace the S26 Plus. That makes sense – it gives you premium features without the Ultra’s bulk and price. If they deliver on thinness and battery, it could steal fans from Apple’s iPhones and Google’s Pixels.
We’re still waiting on official specs, but this leak paints an exciting picture. A featherlight phone that doesn’t quit? That’s the holy grail. Fingers crossed Samsung makes it real.
