Samsung might be ditching S26 Pro

It looks like the rumored Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro is no more. According to a report from SamMobile, Samsung has decided against introducing a “Pro” rebrand for its next smartphone lineup. Instead, the company will stick with the standard S26 naming convention.

It’s a fairly unexciting move, but not a surprising one. Per the report, the “Pro” model would have been a marketing play rather than a meaningful hardware upgrade — an attempt to mirror Apple’s naming strategy with its iPhone Pro series. In other words, Samsung’s base model will keep its name, and its specs will stay in familiar territory.

That might be a bit disappointing for fans hoping for something new, especially since other Galaxy news has been underwhelming. Just last week, reports surfaced that Samsung is axing its Edge line after only one release — the S25 Edge, which debuted just five months ago in May. It’ll reportedly be replaced by the S26 Plus, and rumors suggest there won’t be any groundbreaking design changes beyond a refreshed camera bump.

Meanwhile, the S26 Ultra also seems poised for only minor updates, primarily a larger camera module. So, unless Samsung has a surprise up its sleeve, expect the 2026 Galaxy lineup to look familiar: a base model, a Plus, and an Ultra — and not much else.
