We\u2019ve already heard rumors that the Galaxy S25 Edge successor will replace the Galaxy S25+ as the middle child in the company\u2019s flagship lineup, but now there are details emerging about a potential change for the entry-level Galaxy S26.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve previously seen leaks that the base     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-galaxy-s26-may-get-bold-pro-edge-makeover\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Galaxy S26<\/a> will pick up the Pro moniker. New rumors conveyed via <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2025\/08\/15\/new-galaxy-s26-pro-leak-says-samsung-wont-drop-its-smallest-screen-size\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">9to5Google<\/a> add some details to the device. According to reports, the Galaxy S26 Pro will feature a larger 4,300mAh battery, besting the 4,000mAh cell in the Galaxy S25.    <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s also good news for fans of the Galaxy S25\u2019s compact form factor, as the new Galaxy S26 Pro is rumored to have a 6.27-inch panel, only slightly bigger than the 6.2-inch display on the Galaxy S25. We\u2019ll have to wait and see why Samsung chose to add &#8220;Pro&#8221; to the Galaxy S26, whether it\u2019s due to other significant upgrades or the company wanted to avoid the phone looking bare compared to the Galaxy S26 Edge and Galaxy S26 Ultra.<\/p>\n<p>                        I\u2019m not expecting too much from the Galaxy S26 Pro<\/p>\n<p>                                        <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"samsung-galaxy-s25-cameras-2\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/samsung-galaxy-s25-cameras-2.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/samsung-galaxy-s25-cameras-2.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p> The     <a href=\"https:\/\/www.androidpolice.com\/samsung-galaxy-z-fold-7-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Galaxy Z Fold 7<\/a> was an aberration for Samsung. It was the first time in years the company had focused on hardware innovation, acknowledging that enthusiasts spending $2,000 aren\u2019t happy with iterative upgrades. I\u2019m not expecting similar changes to the Galaxy S26 lineup. A bigger battery on the Galaxy S26 Pro is a start, and it\u2019ll help users get through an entire day on a single charge, but there&#8217;s still more work to be done.    <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, these rumors highlight that it\u2019ll be another year of Samsung flagships without silicon-carbon battery technology. I understand Samsung\u2019s had battery issues in the past, but you don\u2019t wear the black arm band forever. At some point, the company has to put the effort into developing new (and safe) battery tech. And it\u2019s not a bridge too far. We\u2019ve seen numerous companies overseas incorporate massive silicon-carbon batteries into their devices without issue \u2014 there\u2019s no reason Samsung can\u2019t do the same.<\/p>\n<p>Still, it\u2019s encouraging that Samsung will offer a smaller flagship alternative for those who don\u2019t want to carry around a massive 6.9-inch slab in their pocket. The Galaxy S25 was ideal for many buyers, and I\u2019m glad Samsung isn\u2019t abandoning its more affordable flagship option.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Samsung\u2019s Galaxy S26 lineup will get a bit of a facelift when it\u2019s launched early next year.
