Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge Design Rivals iPhone 17 Pro
▼ Summary
– A purported render of the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge suggests it may resemble the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro, featuring slim bezels and a rear camera bar with two lenses.
– The Galaxy S26 Edge design differs from the Galaxy S25 Edge, which has three vertically-aligned rear cameras on the left side of the device.
– The renders align with iPhone 17 Pro leaks and dummy models, though the iPhone is rumored to have three rear cameras instead of two.
– The Galaxy S26 Edge may replace the S26 Plus and could include built-in magnets for Qi2 charging, similar to newer iPhones and the Pixel 10 lineup.
– The device is rumored to be thinner than its predecessor, measuring 5.5mm thick (or 10.8mm with the camera bump), compared to 5.8mm for the S25 Edge.
Fresh rumors surrounding the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge suggest a major design overhaul, positioning it as a direct competitor to Apple’s anticipated iPhone 17 Pro. Newly surfaced renders hint at a strikingly slim profile and a revamped camera layout, signaling a bold shift in Samsung’s flagship strategy.
According to images shared by trusted leaker OnLeaks with Android Headlines, the Galaxy S26 Edge appears to feature minimal bezels and a distinctive horizontal camera bar on the rear. This represents a significant departure from the vertically stacked triple-camera setup seen on the Galaxy S25 Edge. The new design language closely mirrors recent leaks of the iPhone 17 Pro, though Apple’s model is expected to retain a triple-lens configuration rather than the dual-camera system shown in the Samsung render.
Speculation continues to mount that the Galaxy S26 Edge may replace the S26 Plus in Samsung’s lineup. The device is also rumored to incorporate built-in magnets compatible with Qi2 wireless charging, aligning it with recent iPhones and the upcoming Pixel 10 series. Another notable improvement involves the handset’s dimensions, reportedly slimming down to just 5.5mm thick, or 10.8mm including the camera housing, compared to the 5.8mm thickness of its predecessor.
While Samsung is not expected to officially unveil the device until January, all eyes will be on Apple’s upcoming launch event to see whether the iPhone 17 Pro arrives first with a similar design direction.
