It seems that smartphone manufacturers are beginning a new race for thickness. Initially, there were rumors about the Apple iPhone 17 Air, and now there are whispers about the slim Samsung Galaxy S26.
The South Korean publication ETNews cites industry insiders who claim that the new smartphone will emphasize minimal thickness. Samsung plans to release this phone to gauge user reactions to a slim yet powerful device.
Traditionally, Samsung prepares three flagship variants: base, plus, and ultra. The slim version will be the fourth and will be produced in limited quantities. The smartphone is expected to be available around April, three months after the launch of the S25 series. If market feedback is positive, the company will consider modifications to the Galaxy S26 series. The release of a slim model in a few months is seen as an effort to prevent internal cannibalization within the main lineup and to affirm demand for thinner models.
Clearly, the launch of a thin smartphone will serve as a response to the rumored Apple iPhone 17 Air (or Slim), which has been in the news recently. According to these rumors, the iPhone 17 Air could become thinner thanks to OLED TDDI technology, combining the touch surface and display into one layer. However, the camera may only feature a single lens.
