Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S26 Edge model could feature a larger battery capacity, as suggested by recent leaks. Here's what we've gathered so far.
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge, expected to replace the Plus model in the Galaxy S26 series, is rumoured to feature a larger battery capacity. However, no specific details about the features or price of the device have been officially confirmed.
According to various leaks and reports, the Galaxy S26 Edge is tipped to have a battery capacity of around 4,200mAh, representing a modest increase from the 3,900mAh in the Galaxy S25 Edge. Some sources, however, suggest a more substantial upgrade with a battery capacity of 4,400mAh. This figure aligns the S26 Edge’s battery with that of the Galaxy Z Fold 7, indicating a significant improvement if true.
Here's a summary of the reported battery capacities based on different sources and leaks:
| Source/Leak | Reported Battery Capacity | |--------------------------|---------------------------| | Android Central & Android Headlines | 4,200mAh | | Android Authority & PhoneArena | 4,400mAh (leak from Weibo post) |
While there is some conflicting information, most sources agree on an increase over the previous 3,900mAh, with the 4,200mAh capacity being the most commonly confirmed figure. The 4,400mAh number is a recent—but plausible—leak that would mark a more substantial boost.
Meanwhile, internal references within One UI 8 firmware suggest that Samsung may be ditching the standard "Galaxy S26" model altogether. However, no official confirmation has been made about the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge.
