- We previously found code evidence within One UI 8 suggesting that Samsung’s next flagship lineup could consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. However, GSMA listings for the base Galaxy S26 contradicted this finding.
- Previously listed as “Galaxy S26,” updated GSMA listings were spotted for SM-S942, which now list the same model number as the “Galaxy S26 Pro.”
- This corroborates our previous finding and suggests that the Galaxy S26 series would start with the S26 Pro.
Yesterday, we spotted compelling evidence within One UI 8 that suggests a significant shake-up in the Galaxy S26 lineup. Based on the codenames and device names spotted, Samsung’s lineup for next year could comprise the Galaxy S26 Pro, Galaxy S26 Edge, and Galaxy S26 Ultra. There was no base Galaxy S26 to be found, which would be at odds with the previously spotted GSMA listings for the device. As it turns out, newer listings corroborate our findings that Samsung is on track to rename the Galaxy S26 to the Galaxy S26 Pro.
Previously, GSMA listings for the model number SM-S942 were spotted, with the device market name mentioned as Galaxy S26.
