Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge may have a bigger battery, thickness may also be less

Samsung is said to launch Galaxy S26 Edge with an increased battery size. In addition to that, this model will be thinner than the existing Galaxy S25 Edge. This is presumed to be achieved using new battery material technology. Contradictory statements have been made so far about the real capacity of the battery. A previous leak mentioned that the phone will come with a 4,200mAh battery, while a new report claims that Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge might be equipped with a 4,400mAh battery. It is important to mention that Galaxy S25 Edge has a 3,900mAh battery and its thickness is 5.8mm.

In a X post, tipster PhoneArt (@UniverseIce) has asserted that Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge can have a 4,400mAh battery. An earlier report said that the phone will have a rated battery capacity of 4,078mAh and its typical value could be 4,200mAh.

The tipster acknowledged these contradictory information available online and said that they will 'double check this information'. In such a situation, until the official details are revealed. It cannot be taken very seriously.

Samsung is expected to make the Galaxy S26 Edge even thinner than the Galaxy S25 Edge, which has a thickness of 5.8mm. To fit more battery into a thin design, the South Korean tech company may use 'new battery material technology'. The upcoming phone may have a silicon-carbon battery, which will be better than the lithium-ion cell used in the current model.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge may feature a 50-megapixel ultra-wide camera. This will be a big upgrade over the 12-megapixel camera of the Galaxy S25 Edge.

The special thing is that the European variants of the Galaxy S26 series are expected to get Samsung's in-house Exynos 2600 processor. The company has recently confirmed that the Exynos 2600 will be its first chipset to be made on Samsung Foundry's 2nm GAA (Gate-All-Around) process.
