The Samsung Galaxy S26 series might introduce a new model, the S26 Pro, potentially replacing the standard S26. While details are scarce on whether this change involves just a name update or the addition of “pro” features, it signals a possible shift in Samsung’s approach to its popular Galaxy line. The Galaxy S25 Ultra, despite being praised as the “phone of the year,” faced criticism for its similarities to previous models, highlighting a pattern of minimal changes. The upcoming S26 series could bring significant updates, with rumors suggesting the Galaxy S Plus model might be replaced by the S26 Edge. The new lineup may include the Galaxy S26 Ultra, S26 Edge, and S26 Pro, aiming to bring more distinction to the range and better compete with other brands. Samsung might be elevating the naming of the regular Galaxy S26 to better position itself against market rivals without necessarily adding new “pro” features. The official announcement is expected at a Galaxy Unpacked event in January 2026, where more details will likely be revealed.
