Samsung Electronics Co. is still evaluating whether it will release another super-thin smartphone after sales of its inaugural attempt, last year’s Galaxy S25 Edge, were comparatively “lower” than the company’s other handsets.

The development was revealed in an interview on Thursday with Won-Joon Choi, chief operating officer of Samsung’s Mobile Experience Business, following the introduction of the company’s new Galaxy S26 lineup. The new models include an innovative privacy display and enhanced artificial intelligence features.
