The Galaxy S26 Edge Could Be Even Thinner with a Bigger Battery, Which Sounds Too Good to Be True – but I Hope It Is
SOUTH KOREA, AUG 6 – Samsung plans to increase the Galaxy S26 Edge battery to 4,200mAh while reducing thickness to 5.5mm, improving on last year's model and competing with Apple's iPhone 17 Air.
- Samsung plans to launch the Galaxy S26 Edge next year with a thinner 5.5mm design and a larger battery than the current model.
- This development follows the Galaxy S25 Edge release on May 30, which measured 5.8mm thick and had a 3,900mAh battery capacity.
- Reports suggest the Galaxy S26 Edge will feature a 4,200mAh battery, with some rumors indicating a possible 4,400mAh capacity, marking an approximate 8% increase.
- Despite the battery growth, experts say the increase from 3,900mAh to 4,200mAh is modest and may not justify upgrading from the S25 Edge.
- The planned thinner design combined with a larger battery suggests Samsung aims to refine its flagship lineup, potentially maintaining the Edge series' market relevance.
