You may suppose that it’s method too early to consider the Galaxy S26 line, however another rumors making the rounds about Samsung’s 2026 flagship telephone line embrace speak that Samsung plans on removing the Galaxy S26 mannequin. After making the Galaxy S25 Extremely look much less “Be aware-able” by making the corners extra rounded and softer, one rumor requires the 2026 model to be given the Galaxy S26 Be aware moniker. Lastly, with Apple and Google each having “Professional” flagship fashions, the Galaxy S26+ could possibly be renamed the Galaxy S26 Professional.
