- Samsung Colombia financing promo lists Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra
- No mention of a Galaxy S26 Edge or Galaxy S26 Pro in the document
- Reports point to Samsung sticking with its three-model flagship launch lineup
Samsung’s next flagship Galaxy S26 lineup appears set to keep its familiar three-phone structure, after a Samsung Electronics Colombia promotional document listed only the Galaxy S26, S26+ and S26 Ultra. Samsung has not announced the series, and the document made no reference to a rumored Galaxy S26 Edge or Galaxy S26 Pro. Samsung
The absence matters now because Samsung’s S-series launch is close enough that marketing and retail paperwork starts to harden into names and models. An “Edge” phone — Samsung’s branding for a slimmer variant — would also hint at a sharper pivot in design priorities for 2026.
A lineup tweak isn’t just a naming question. It can ripple into what suppliers tool up for, what carriers stock, and how Samsung positions its top-end phones against rivals in a crowded premium market.
The six-page Spanish-language PDF sets terms for a 0% interest credit-card promotion with Banco Davivienda running from Jan. 10 to March 31 in Colombia. In an annex of eligible products, the only 2026 Galaxy S models named are “Galaxy S26 Ultra”, “Galaxy S26” and “Galaxy S26 +”.
9to5Google, which highlighted the omission, noted the same material lists several current devices yet does not mention the Galaxy S25 Edge, suggesting the promotion may not cover every handset in Samsung’s range. 9To5Google
SamMobile said earlier rumours pointed to Samsung rebranding the base model as a “Galaxy S26 Pro” and replacing the S26+ with an S26 Edge. Those names do not appear in the Colombian document, though a later-in-the-year Edge launch remains possible. Sammobile
Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge in May 2025 as a 5.8-mm device, pitched as a showcase for thin hardware. “Galaxy S25 Edge is more than a slim smartphone,” TM Roh, president and acting head of Samsung Electronics’ device experience division, said at the time. Samsung
South Korea’s The Elec reported Samsung halted development of an “S26 Edge” model in October and pivoted back to the Plus, relying on proven components to meet a tight schedule. The report said Samsung weighed using an OLED — an organic light-emitting diode display — developed for the Edge, but kept the Plus panel close to the prior model. Thelec
In a separate report, Geeky Gadgets cited a Techtics video saying expectations for the S26 Ultra are shifting toward on-device AI — features that run on the phone rather than in the cloud — and faster charging. Geeky Gadgets
Samsung’s Ultra models sit in the same bracket as Apple’s top-end iPhone, where camera systems and AI tools help justify price hikes. Chinese brands including Xiaomi and Huawei have also pushed high-spec flagships, leaving little room for Samsung to misread demand for a niche thin phone.
Still, a financing promotion in one market is not a product roadmap. Samsung could rename devices, hold back a model for later, or limit an Edge handset to select regions, and early paperwork sometimes trails last-minute changes.

For now, the clearest sign is what Samsung’s own document chose to put in print — three models, and no Edge.
