In that case, the S26 Pro would've replaced the vanilla S26, with the S26 Edge taking the spot of what would've been the Galaxy S26 Plus. As shared by Korean outlet The Elec, it appears Samsung is resuming development of the Galaxy S26 Plus. As it stands, instead, Samsung is said to be working on four Galaxy S26 series phones, likely the S26 Pro, S26 Plus, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra.
