Samsung Galaxy S26 Model Numbers Leak – No Plus Variant in Sight
Samsung is once again making headlines in the tech world. Fresh from unveiling its latest foldable flagships—the Galaxy Z Flip 7 and Galaxy Z Fold 7—the company’s 2026 flagship lineup, the Samsung Galaxy S26 series, has already started appearing in certification listings. And there’s a surprising twist: it looks like the much-loved “Plus” variant might not be part of the lineup this time.
A Shift in Samsung’s S-Series Strategy
For years, Samsung’s premium S-series has followed a predictable three-tier format: a standard model, a Plus variant, and the top-tier Ultra. However, new certification data is raising eyebrows in the smartphone community. This time, the Galaxy S26 Plus is conspicuously missing from the records—hinting at a significant shake-up in Samsung’s release strategy.
Galaxy S26 Model Numbers Revealed
According to a GSMA database listing spotted by SammyPolice, the Galaxy S26 lineup includes:
Galaxy S26 – Model number SM-S942
Galaxy S26 Edge – Model number SM-S947
Galaxy S26 Ultra – Model number SM-S948
Notably absent is any device with the model number that would correspond to a Plus variant. This omission adds weight to ongoing rumors that Samsung might be phasing out the Plus model altogether.
The Edge Variant Returns
Samsung’s Edge models have always been a bold experiment, focusing on ultra-thin designs and distinctive curved displays. The Galaxy S25 Edge was reportedly a make-or-break test for the future of the series. While sales haven’t been groundbreaking, it appears Samsung is doubling down on the Edge concept, suggesting that the Galaxy S26 Edge could play a bigger role in 2026.
Changes to the Base Model Numbering
Interestingly, there’s also a notable tweak to the base Galaxy S26’s model number. Previous standard models ended with a “1” (for example, the Galaxy S25 carried the model number SM-S931). The Galaxy S26 now ends with a “2” (SM-S942), which could indicate more than just a cosmetic change.
Industry speculation suggests this might mean the standard S26 will inherit some features from the discontinued Plus model—possibly a larger display, bigger battery, and enhanced performance. This could blur the lines between Samsung’s base and mid-tier flagship offerings, giving the standard version a significant upgrade.
Why Samsung Might Be Retiring the Plus Model
The smartphone market has been shifting toward either compact flagships or premium ultra models, with mid-sized devices struggling to find a solid customer base. By merging the Plus features into the base model, Samsung could streamline production, simplify marketing, and offer a more compelling entry-level flagship without fragmenting the lineup.
What This Means for Consumers
If Samsung truly integrates Plus-level features into the base Galaxy S26, buyers could get:
A bigger screen size closer to the current Plus variant
Longer battery life without having to jump to the Ultra model
Advanced camera systems previously exclusive to higher-tier models
This move could also push more customers toward the Ultra or Edge versions, positioning them as the go-to options for enthusiasts who want maximum performance or unique design.
The Future of the Galaxy S-Series
All signs point to a leaner but more strategically differentiated Galaxy S lineup in 2026:
Galaxy S26 – Potentially larger and more feature-rich than ever
Galaxy S26 Edge – Catering to fans of sleek, ultra-thin smartphones
Galaxy S26 Ultra – The no-compromise flagship for power users
While nothing is officially confirmed, these model number leaks give us an exciting glimpse into Samsung’s future plans. If the Plus variant truly disappears, the 2026 Galaxy S-series could mark one of the biggest shifts in Samsung’s flagship strategy in years.
