🔍 Key Observations

1. Naming Confusion: S26 vs. S26 Pro
   Although the code lists the standard model as “S26 Pro,” earlier reports claim Samsung has abandoned the Pro branding and will stick to the traditional “Galaxy S26” name.
2. S26 Plus or S26 Edge?
   Model SM-S947 could correspond to either the S26 Plus or S26 Edge. Current leaks suggest the Plus model is more likely to remain in the lineup.

📂 Foldable Phones: Three Models Again in 2026

Samsung will reportedly retain a triple-device structure:

• Regular upgrades: Z Flip8 and Z Fold8
• New FE model: Z Flip8 FE, reinforcing Samsung’s successful Fan Edition strategy

This signals Samsung’s ambition to expand foldable phones across more price tiers.
