Samsung<\/a>\u2018s flagship phone strategy has been all over the place lately, and the latest twist in this saga is honestly kind of wild. After months of rumors and contradictions about whether the Galaxy S26 Edge would exist, it turns out the answer is no, but not for the reasons you might think. Samsung apparently has something even more ambitious in the works.<\/p>\n

The whole thing started when rumors emerged that Samsung would replace the Galaxy S26 Plus with a new Edge model. Then those plans seemed to reverse, with reports suggesting the Plus was back and the Edge was getting axed entirely. It looked like Samsung had cold feet about the whole slim phone concept. But according to a new leak from Dutch site GalaxyClub, the truth is more interesting. Samsung didn\u2019t abandon the idea of a super-thin flagship. They\u2019re just going bigger, or rather, thinner.<\/p>\n

Designer: Samsung<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The company is reportedly developing a new device with the internal codename \u201cMore Slim,\u201d which has been in the works for a few months now. The name is a pretty obvious nod to the previous S25 Edge<\/a>, which carried the codename \u201cSlim\u201d during development. It suggests Samsung isn\u2019t backing away from thin phones at all. They\u2019re doubling down on the concept and pushing it even further.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s where things get puzzling though. The Galaxy S25 Edge, which did make it to market, had some pretty significant compromises. You got just a dual-camera setup with no telephoto zoom capability, and Samsung crammed in only a 3,900mAh battery to keep things thin. For the premium price tag attached to it, those trade-offs felt steep. Now Samsung wants to make something even slimmer? The engineering challenges alone would be intense. You need custom components that can fit into tighter spaces, which drives up manufacturing costs considerably. And the elephant in the room is how they plan to address battery life when they\u2019re already starting from a modest capacity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The math doesn\u2019t immediately add up from a consumer perspective. Making a phone thinner for the sake of thinness is a questionable strategy when it means sacrificing features people actually use every day. Unless Samsung has figured out some breakthrough in battery technology or component miniaturization that we don\u2019t know about yet, it\u2019s hard to see how More Slim won\u2019t face the same criticism the S25 Edge received.<\/p>\n

Still, Samsung must have a plan. Maybe they\u2019re betting on a specific market segment that prioritizes aesthetics and portability above all else. Maybe there\u2019s new tech in the pipeline that makes these compromises less painful. Maybe this will help bolster the tri-fold they just recently teased. Whatever the case, we\u2019ll probably hear more details in the coming months as development continues. For now, it\u2019s just another chapter in Samsung\u2019s increasingly chaotic flagship phone strategy, and one that leaves more questions than answers about where they\u2019re really headed with their premium lineup.<\/p>\n
