After the success of the Galaxy S25 series, Samsung's decision to cancel the Galaxy S26 Plus has come under question. The announcement of the Galaxy S26 Edge as the main member of the 2026 high-end handset series has raised doubts among consumers.
The latest sales figures for the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra have only added to these doubts. With a total of 20 million units sold, the Galaxy S25 series has been a massive hit, making the decision to reorganize the flagship lineup seem questionable.
Despite the popularity of the Galaxy S25 and S25 Ultra, the sales of the Galaxy S25 Plus have shown steady growth compared to its predecessor. This raises the question of whether Samsung should make drastic changes to a winning formula.
While the Galaxy S25 Edge may not have achieved the same level of success as its counterparts, its sales figures are promising considering its limited release. The upcoming Galaxy S26 Edge will need to surpass the combined numbers of the S25 Edge and S25 Plus to justify the restructuring of the lineup.
With strong year-on-year growth for the Galaxy S25 compared to the S24, and the S25 Ultra lagging behind its predecessor, Samsung may need to reconsider its plans for the Galaxy S26 family.
