Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge is already being tipped to replace a key sibling next year
Much of the talk this week is about Samsung's all-new Galaxy S25 Edge. However, attention will soon turn to next year's Galaxy S26 lineup. The Elec says that the 2026 lineup will look slightly different from the more recent ones, and here's how. Samsung reportedly plans to replace its Plus smartphone variant with an Edge model next year. Historically, Plus sales have lagged behind those of Ultra and standard models, so this would make sense. Recommended Videos As Android Police explains, Samsung reportedly aims to ship 37.7 million Galaxy S25 units this year, with the Ultra model accounting for 17.4 million and the standard version making up 13.6 million. It anticipates moving approximately 6.7 million units of the Plus variant. The Galaxy S25 Edge arrives on the market at the end of this month. No doubt, Samsung won't finalize its next Galaxy S lineup until it sees how well the Galaxy S25 Edge performs. Poor sales could mean another Plus model arrives next year. It's also possible the company later decides to produce both a S26 Plus and S26 Edge model. Another report said Samsung is working on four different sized OLED panels for 2026 so anything is possible at this point. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge measures just 5.8mm thick and weighing 163 grams. Despite its slim profile, it boasts a large 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X display protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 and a powerful 200MP main camera with AI-enhanced features. While it shares the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and many AI capabilities with the other S25 models, it distinguishes itself with its focus on portability and sleek aesthetics, offered in Titanium Silver, Jet Black, and Icy Blue. However, it features a smaller 3900mAh battery to achieve this thinness and lacks a dedicated telephoto lens compared to some of its S25 counterparts.

MacBook Pro M5 launch: What we expect from the next refresh
If you're in the market for a new MacBook Pro, you have the option of the MacBook Pro with the M4 chip. The series is powered by the M4 line of chips, including the base M4, the M4 Pro, and the M4 Max. However, if you're not in a hurry, you may want to wait for the rumoured next-generation MacBook Pro refresh, which could debut as soon as later this year. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, this launch is mostly confirmed. Wondering what this new series of MacBooks might bring to the table? Here's a quick wrap of what reports have said so far. The MacBook Pro expected later this year is likely to be powered by the upcoming M5 series of chips This would naturally follow the M4 models currently available. As for which versions of the M5 Apple might launch, such as the M5 Pro or M5 Max, remains to be seen. However, given Apple's previous release patterns, including with the M4 series, it wouldn't be surprising to see these variants arrive. Reports suggest Apple could be saving a significant redesign or an OLED display upgrade for 2026. The Elec also reported this in February, making it more than likely that this year's model will be another incremental refresh, much like the past couple of generations. So, while the OLED MacBook Pro could become a reality in 2026, the M5-powered MacBook Pros may continue to ship with the current Liquid Retina XDR display. Even the base version of the MacBook Pro with the entry-level M4 chip now includes 16GB of unified memory. With Apple Intelligence set to be a core part of future products, 16GB of unified memory will likely remain a consistent inclusion in the MacBook M5 as well. Mark Gurman suggests that the MacBook Pro M5 refresh could arrive around the same timeframe as the M4 generation did, meaning a potential launch in October to November 2025. So, if you're currently using an older MacBook Pro, don't need an urgent upgrade, and can wait for the next major model, it may be worth holding out until then.
