It has become common practice for smartphone manufacturers to change the names of their models, discontinue them entirely to replace them with others, or alter their generation numbering. For instance, Samsung decided to jump from the S10 series to the S20 series and changed the names of its A-series models from something like A3 to A30. We've already seen this practice in action several times, not just with Samsung but with other companies like Apple as well, particularly with their Plus models and budget series.
For example, Samsung made a change to its A-series lineup by replacing the single-digit names like the A5 and A7 with double-digit names like the A50 and A70 series. This kind of rebranding and restructuring of model names is a strategy large companies use to streamline their product lines and keep them fresh for consumers.
This strategy can be confusing for some people. Now, we are seeing another such decision from Samsung, this time affecting its base and Plus models. For several years, the premium S-series has been available in three main versions: the base, Plus, and Ultra. Customers have become familiar with and fond of these models, but according to the latest information, Samsung is planning to make a small change to this lineup.Will Samsung's new models replace the old ones? According to rumors, the base Samsung model will be replaced by a Pro version, while the Plus model will be replaced by an Edge version. The Ultra version remains unchanged. However, it's not yet known why Samsung decided to take this step. According to another widespread rumor, Samsung's new base model will be the S26 Pro, and it will feature a more powerful battery and an improved camera. The new Samsung S26 Pro series will feature a 6.27-inch display and will be Samsung's base version.
