There won't be a Samsung Galaxy S26+, new report claims
So, expect to see the 6.27-inch Galaxy S26, the 6.66-inch Galaxy S26 Edge, and the 6.89-inch Galaxy S26 Ultra. That's right, there won't be a Galaxy S26+, that is, of course, if this report proves to be accurate.
We can't say we're very surprised. After all, the Galaxy S25 Edge has the same screen size as the S25+, but it's thinner (with all the compromises arising from that - primarily we're talking one less camera and a far smaller battery). And with Apple long rumored to replace the iPhone 16 Plus with the iPhone 17 Air, Samsung is just following along.
We assume that the Plus model of the Galaxy S series has been the lowest-selling one by far (it's the same case for Apple), and so letting it go makes sense, especially as the Edge will actually cater to those who specifically want the in-between screen size.
For those who want the biggest screen and the most features, there's always the Ultra, and of course it helps Samsung's bottom line that it's the most expensive of the line - and that the Edge is more expensive than the Plus. Average selling price for the line will definitely go up, even if only by a little.
The flip side is that those who really liked what the Plus had to offer and didn't need the extra bells and whistles of the Ultra will now have two flawed options to pick from: the Edge with the same size but slightly more expensive and with a smaller battery and presumably still one less camera, or the Ultra that's much more expensive, and bigger, and heavier.

Global smartphone shipments barely grow in Q2, Samsung retains lead
Michail, 15 July 2025 The latest report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) shows a modest 1% year-over-year growth for global smartphone shipments during the April-June (Q2) period. This is traditionally one of the tougher periods for smartphone makers, and there were several macroeconomic factors that affected global demand. Economic uncertainty, including tariff volatility, forex instability, unemployment and inflation, combined with weak demand in China, all contributed to flat growth. Going into the actual breakdown by brand, Samsung led the way with an estimated 58 million shipments and a 19.7% market share. The recently launched new Galaxy A36 and Galaxy A56 models were key growth drivers for the brand. Apple came in second place with an estimated 46.4 million shipments and 15.7% market share. Cupertino saw double-digit growth in emerging markets but also experienced a 1% drop in sales in China, despite being the leading brand in China during the 618 e-commerce festival. Xiaomi was the third leading brand on the global stage with 42.5 million shipments and a 14.4% market share, which contributed to a net 0.6% year-over-year change. Vivo came in fourth with 27.1 million shipments and 9.2% market share, while Transsion (Infinix, Tecno, itel) occupied the fifth spot with 25.1 million quarterly shipments and an 8.5% market share. Despite the ongoing economic hardships and uncertainties, the positive growth in global shipments suggests that the global smartphone market is primed for growth in the coming months.
