The rumor mill just churned up a purported render of Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Edge, and it only adds to speculation that the super-slim phone will look like the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro. The renders, shared with Android Headlines by reliable leaker OnLeaks, show a device with slim bezels and a prominent rear camera bar housing a pair of lenses.
Based on the renders, the Galaxy S26 Edge may look much different than the Galaxy S25 Edge, which features three vertically-aligned rear cameras on the left side of the device. Instead, the Galaxy S26 Edge renders more closely resemble what appear to be iPhone 17 Pro leaks and dummy models spotted on the IFA 2025 showfloor. The difference is that the iPhone 17 Pro is rumored to come with three cameras on the back, not just two.
The Galaxy S26 Edge is rumored to take the place of the S26 Plus and may also feature built-in magnets for Qi2 charging, bringing it in line with newer iPhones and the entire Pixel 10 lineup. Additionally, Android Headlines claims that the Galaxy S26 Edge will be even thinner than its predecessor, measuring 5.5mm thick (or 10.8mm with the camera bump), as opposed to 5.8mm with the S25 Edge.
We’ll likely have to wait until January to see if Samsung adopts the boxy camera island shown in the renders — but in just a few days, we’ll find out if Apple beats it to the punch.
