- Samsung Colombia’s financing offer includes the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra models
- The document makes no reference to a Galaxy S26 Edge or Galaxy S26 Pro.
- Reports indicate Samsung will stick to launching its flagship lineup with three models
Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy S26 series looks like it will stick to the usual trio: the Galaxy S26, S26+, and S26 Ultra, according to a promotional document from Samsung Electronics Colombia. The company hasn’t officially confirmed the lineup yet, and the document doesn’t mention any Galaxy S26 Edge or Galaxy S26 Pro models rumored elsewhere. Samsung
The absence is significant now since Samsung’s S-series launch is near enough that marketing and retail details begin solidifying into specific names and models. A phone labeled “Edge” — Samsung’s term for a slimmer design — would also signal a notable shift in design focus for 2026.
Changing the lineup isn’t merely about names. It affects what suppliers prepare, what carriers choose to carry, and shapes how Samsung pitches its flagship models amidst fierce competition in the premium segment.
The six-page Spanish-language PDF outlines the terms for a 0% interest credit-card offer from Banco Davivienda, valid in Colombia from Jan. 10 to March 31. In an annex listing eligible products, the only 2026 Galaxy S models mentioned are the “Galaxy S26 Ultra,” “Galaxy S26,” and “Galaxy S26 +.”
9to5Google pointed out the omission, noting that the same document lists multiple current devices but leaves out the Galaxy S25 Edge. This suggests the promotion might not include every model in Samsung’s lineup. 9To5Google
SamMobile previously reported rumours suggesting Samsung might rename the base model as the “Galaxy S26 Pro” and swap out the S26+ for an S26 Edge. However, neither name shows up in the Colombian document. Still, an Edge version could still debut later this year. Sammobile
Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge in May 2025, boasting a remarkably thin 5.8-mm profile designed to highlight its sleek hardware. “Galaxy S25 Edge is more than a slim smartphone,” stated TM Roh, president and acting head of Samsung Electronics’ device experience division, during the launch.

According to South Korea’s The Elec, Samsung stopped working on the “S26 Edge” model back in October and shifted focus back to the Plus version, opting for familiar components to stick to a strict timeline. The report mentioned Samsung considered an OLED display designed for the Edge but ultimately stuck with a Plus screen similar to the previous generation. Thelec
Geeky Gadgets, referencing a Techtics video, noted that the buzz around the S26 Ultra is moving toward on-device AI—meaning the phone handles AI tasks locally instead of relying on the cloud—and quicker charging speeds. Geeky Gadgets
Samsung’s Ultra models compete directly with Apple’s premium iPhones, leaning heavily on advanced camera setups and AI features to back their price tags. Chinese players like Xiaomi and Huawei have also stepped up with powerful flagship devices, tightening the market and leaving Samsung little margin for error with a niche, slim phone.
That said, a financing deal in a single market doesn’t amount to a product roadmap. Samsung might rename devices, delay a model’s release, or restrict an Edge version to certain areas—and initial documents often lag behind last-minute shifts.
Leaked information suggests Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S26 series on February 25, with the phones expected to hit stores in early March, according to Android Central. Samsung, however, hasn’t officially confirmed any details yet. Androidcentral
The clearest hint lies in Samsung’s own documentation: it lists three models, with no mention of an Edge version.
