The Korean manufacturer plans four flagship models next year: the S26 Pro, S26 Plus, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra. The S25 Edge sold poorly after its May launch, and demand declined further when Apple released the iPhone 17 at $799 with enhanced features. Production data shows Samsung planned 300,000 S25 Edge units from September through December compared with 500,000 S25 Plus units. The company began S26 Plus development after evaluating weak S25 Edge performance in August or September. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported the iPhone 17 reduced Xiaomi 17 shipments by 20 percent in China, and Samsung may replace the S26 Edge with the S26 Plus to offer better specifications. [/QUOTE]
