This Galaxy S26 leak is bad news for small-phone lovers
C. Scott Brown / Android Authority TL;DR A Korean outlet reports that Samsung is working on the Galaxy S26 Edge instead of the S26 Plus. The outlet also revealed screen sizes for all three models, and the base model might get a small size bump. The Samsung Galaxy S26 series is still roughly six months away from launch, but that hasn't stopped the steady stream of leaks. It now looks like we've got screen-related details for all three phones. The Elec reports (h/t: Jukanlosreve on Twitter) that there are three models, namely the base Galaxy S26, the Galaxy S26 Edge, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra. In other words, it looks like Samsung has indeed swapped out the Plus variant for the Edge model. This purported swap comes weeks after reports that Samsung was thinking about ditching the Galaxy S26 Plus in favor of the Galaxy S26 Edge. The Korean outlet also reports that the Galaxy S26 has a 6.27-inch display, the S26 Edge has a 6.66-inch screen, and the Galaxy S26 Ultra has a 6.89-inch panel. The S26 Edge and S26 Ultra screen sizes will presumably be rounded up to 6.7 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively, in line with previous models. The base model's 6.27-inch screen size, however, would be a small jump over the S25's 6.2-inch screen. I'm guessing Samsung could round up the S26's screen size to 6.3 inches, but we'll have to wait for more leaks to corroborate that. This news comes after a trusted outlet reported on several more Galaxy S26 series details. The outlet asserts that the S26 Ultra will have a 200MP main camera and a 50MP telephoto camera (presumably 5x). It also reports that the Galaxy S26 Edge/Plus will have a 50MP ultrawide camera, which would be in line with the S25 Edge. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

iPhone 17e may share one feature with iPhone 16e when it arrives next spring
Apple is reportedly going to make its iPhone "e" series an annual release, and a leak seems to confirm this, along with information about potential components for next year's iPhone 17e. The leak, reported by the Korean publication The Elec (translated by Jukanlosreve), claims that the budget-friendly iPhone will launch "next spring." It's less specific than an earlier rumor that purported it would debut in May of 2026. The article alleges that the 17e will utilize the same 6.1-inch OLED display as the iPhone 16e, which is a holdover from the iPhone 14. Samsung Display, LG Display, and BOE are reportedly building the displays. Previous SE models from 2016 to 2022 featured LCDs. We're still waiting on the main iPhone 17 series to launch, and beyond a release window, this is the first potential rumor about iPhone 17e specs that we've seen. Perhaps it's not too surprising that it would retain a similar display as the 16e. Versus the iPhone 17, the question will be whether the price is right for the more budget-friendly option. Currently, the iPhone 16e costs $599, which is relatively affordable, but only $200 less than the iPhone 17 and nearly $200 more than the iPhone SE (2022). Toward the end of the article, there is a simple report that Samsung will be dropping the 'Pus' moniker going forward in favor of the 'thin Edge', which launched this year with the Galaxy S25 Edge. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Additionally, the report claims the display sizes for the S26 series will be 6.27 inches, 6.66 inches, and 6.89 inches for the base, Edge, and Ultra models.

The foldable iPhone may not have Face ID
*Header image is referential and showcases the Honor Magic V3. | Image credit — PhoneArena Apple's long-awaited foldable iPhone — slated for release next year, barring unforeseen circumstances — may not have Face ID. The default authorization method for the iPhone may be removed from the foldable to reduce manufacturing costs for an already very expensive report ( translated source ) should be taken with a grain of salt, as the foldable iPhone hasn't been finalized just yet. However, production is expected to begin soon, so the current prototype is likely the final product as well. Apple is reportedly removing Face ID from its foldable because it's a very complex component to implement into the current design of the phone. Furthermore, the same source claims that the foldable iPhone will have the best and the most expensive screen and folding hinge in the industry. I don't know how much truth there is to that, as leaked foldable iPhone screen specs show that it has already been surpassed in some areas by the upcoming Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. If the screen truly is the best in the industry, then Apple's vision of a crease-less foldable may actually be coming true next year. The Fold 7 is much larger than the prototype foldable iPhone. | Image credit — Jukanlosreve Apple's severe delay when entering the foldable industry has been due to the company's insistence on a perfect folding display. The company wants a phone with a completely invisible crease, something that I'm sure would entice many consumers to finally give foldable phones a try. However, removing Face ID means that a key part of the Apple user experience is being taken away. While some say that Touch ID is superior, a lot of iPhone users love Face ID and may be unwilling to get the foldable iPhone if it comes without that. Its removal is part of Apple's efforts to perfect a 20th anniversary iPhone Pro model that has no cutouts on the display, though that will still have Face ID, according to current reports. If a minimal crease doesn't bother you, however, then the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 will be an excellent choice for you. There are also other foldables like the Oppo Find N5 and the Honor Magic V5, which also feature excellent displays and much larger batteries than the Fold 7 . I think that Apple must be really confident in its foldable iPhone if it's willing to do without Face ID. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

Qualcomm Reportedly Scraps Samsung-Made 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, Focus Shifts to TSMC's 3nm Chip
In the ever-intensifying battle for mobile chip supremacy, Qualcomm appears to have pulled the plug on its much-anticipated 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip, which was being co-developed with Samsung. According to a recent leak, the chip giant has now pivoted away from Samsung's fabrication efforts and will stick with TSMC for its next-gen flagship processors. Rumours previously indicated that Qualcomm and Samsung were collaborating on a 2nm variant of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2, with hopes it would surpass the capabilities of current 3nm chips and potentially feature in high-end models like the Galaxy S26 series. However, this vision now seems to have stalled indefinitely. As revealed by tipster @Jukanlosreve on X (formerly Twitter), the Samsung-manufactured 2nm version, internally labeled SM8850-S, has been removed from Qualcomm's internal records. Until recently, the company's chip documentation listed two variants: the SM8850-T (produced by TSMC on a 3nm process) and the now-disappeared SM8850-S. Now, only the TSMC-based SM8850 remains, signaling a decisive shift in Qualcomm's production strategy. The reason behind the move has not been officially disclosed, but speculation ranges from cost constraints and production challenges to performance considerations or a broader strategic reset. This development deals a blow to Samsung's ambitions in the chipmaking space. The company had high hopes of establishing its 2nm capabilities in a major commercial chipset, especially one destined for top-tier Android smartphones. Adding to the intrigue, the leaked report also notes a substantial hike in the cost of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 prototype chips, which are now priced at $15,000. These prototypes are typically used by OEMs and developers for testing and early optimization, and the price surge may reflect both limited supply and Qualcomm's intent to keep early access exclusive. Meanwhile, Qualcomm is said to be reshuffling specs for another upcoming chip—the SM8845, which is expected to debut as the Snapdragon 8s Gen 5. This chip will likely serve as a more affordable flagship-tier processor, targeting premium mid-range devices with slightly toned-down performance compared to the Elite series. While the cancellation of the Samsung-built 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 is certainly a plot twist, Qualcomm's shift towards TSMC's 3nm tech signals a continued push for stability, performance, and perhaps a more predictable production outcome. Samsung, however, may still have another chance to showcase its 2nm prowess—just not with this flagship project.

Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip cancelled? Qualcomm tipped to be working on another chipset
In the fiercely competitive smartphone market, the race for the fastest and most efficient chip is always intensifying. And for a brief moment, it looked like Samsung might be poised to leap ahead. The rumour had it that Qualcomm, in partnership with Samsung, was progressing in manufacturing a 2nm variant of its next-gen powerhouse—the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. This version was expected to be even more advanced than the 3nm chips most Android flagships will use. Some even believed it would power select models in the Galaxy S26 lineup. But it appears those plans have come to an abrupt to a leaker on X aka Twitter (@Jukanlosreve), Qualcomm has now cancelled the 2nm Samsung-manufactured version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chip . Internally referred to as SM8850-S, the chip has disappeared from Qualcomm's listings altogether. Previously, Qualcomm's documentation showed two separate versions: the SM8850-T, a 3nm chip made by TSMC, and the now-missing 2nm Samsung version. Now, only the base model SM8850 remains, strongly implying that the TSMC-built 3nm chip is the sole survivor. While Qualcomm hasn't explained the decision, the leak clearly indicates that the company has quietly dropped Samsung from the manufacturing equation, at least for this flagship move suggests that all major Android phones launching in late 2025 and beyond will feature the TSMC version of the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. It's a blow to Samsung, which had hoped to flex its 2nm muscle and regain some ground in the chipmaking race. Whether the decision came down to production challenges, performance concerns, or simple strategic realignment, we can only speculate for related news, the same source reveals that the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 prototype, which developers and OEMs use for early testing, has seen a sharp price increase. It now costs $15,000, suggesting limited availability and high demand. That's a significant bump, and could be Qualcomm's way of keeping the chip exclusive to top-tier partners during the early worth noting is that Qualcomm's SM8845 chip—likely to be branded as the Snapdragon 8s Gen 5—is currently undergoing a specification shake-up. Details remain vague, but this chip is expected to serve as a more cost-effective flagship option, possibly targeting upper-mid-range handsets with performance just shy of the Elite a Samsung-built 2nm Snapdragon would've been a headline-grabber, it seems the story has taken a different turn. For now, TSMC's 3nm tech holds the crown as the platform of choice for Qualcomm's flagship ambitions. Samsung may yet have a 2nm moment in the future, but this leak suggests it won't be with the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2.- Ends
