There are reports about the possible return of the Galaxy S26 Edge under a new name, but the future of the device remains uncertain. According to recent information, Samsung is developing a smartphone with a silicon-carbon battery, and this model could be the Galaxy S26 Edge.

Currently, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to feature a 5000 mAh battery. Meanwhile, most Chinese manufacturers are already adopting silicon-carbon battery technology, while major companies like Apple, Samsung, and Google continue to use more traditional approaches. Available information suggests that Samsung is preparing to transition to the new technology and may soon introduce a smartphone with a silicon-carbon battery.

Earlier, it was reported that the company was experimenting with such batteries, but no timeline was given for their implementation in Samsung devices. A blog post noted that a smartphone with a silicon-carbon battery is already being prepared for release, though the exact model was not specified. Some comments suggest it could be the Galaxy S26 Edge. There is also speculation that the new batteries will first be tested in other models before appearing in the Galaxy S27 lineup.

The fate of the Galaxy S26 Edge remains unclear. In October last year, it was reported that the Edge series was canceled due to low sales of the Galaxy S25 Edge. Later, information emerged about the possible return of the device under a different name, and photos surfaced online that allegedly show a mockup of the Galaxy S26 Edge.

The latest leaks indicate that a smartphone with a silicon-carbon battery could be released soon. If it is indeed the Galaxy S26 Edge and it follows the release schedule of the previous model (May), Samsung’s new flagship with this battery could appear within the next three months. At this time, Samsung has not made any official statements on the matter.
