The first official symbols of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series have surfaced, in which the Galaxy S26 Age and the S26 Ultra IMEI Database have appeared. Listing, through which has been exposed SemapolisThere are preliminary but reliable indicators that the development of the new Samsung flagship is developing according to the schedule of January 2026.
The IMEI listing shows the Galaxy S26 Edge for the Model Number SMS 947 U and S26 Ultra, respectively, targeting US and South Korean markets, SMS 48U and SMS 48U and SMS 48U and SMS 48U and SMS 48 U.
What is more interesting is that at the beginning of this cycle, the Galaxy is the appearance of the S26 Edge, which may mean that Samsung is really digging variations according to rumors earlier.
Is the Galaxy S26 Edge coming soon?
The Galaxy S25 Edge was launched in May this year, several months after the remaining S25 series. On the contrary, this initial list of the Galaxy S26 Edge strongly shows that Samsung is not making this mistake again.
It seems that the S25 Edge delay has affected its sales speed, and the phone is allegedly performing less than the expectations of Samsung. However, with the S26 Edge now appearing in regulatory filing so quickly, it seems that Samsung wants to replace the Plus model with Edge in 2026, which in turn results in better sale of ultra -thin flagship. He said, earlier in a report also suggested that if the S25 Edge sale does not meet the goals of Samsung, the company can instead overturn the Plus model in the S26 series and instead keep the Plus model.
On the software front, the Galaxy S26 series is expected to ship with an UI 8.5. Although details of this new version are still wrapped up, the return of the “.5” update shows that the next big UI is updated to see it.
We expect that more concrete information will appear later in the Galaxy S26 series development cycle.
