In the last six years, every time Samsung has launched a new Galaxy S series, it has offered three devices in it initially, a base variant, a Plus model, and an Ultra version. However, that may not be the case with the brand’s next lineup of non-foldable flagship phones, the Galaxy S26 series. 

A few weeks ago, we learned that we may get the Galaxy S26 Edge instead of the Galaxy S26 Plus, and yesterday, we got to know that South Korean tech giant may offer the Galaxy S26 Pro in place of the Galaxy S26. Well, today we have another leak hinting that it will indeed be the case.

A listing for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Pro has been spotted on GSMA, confirming its existence (via SammyPolice). The listing mentions that the phone’s model number is SM-S942. Interestingly, the same model number was previously associated with ‘Galaxy S26’ on the same platform.

The ‘Pro' moniker may not translate to additional features

It suggests that Samsung has decided to change the name of the Galaxy S26 to Galaxy S26 Pro, and that's about it. The ‘Pro' moniker doesn't mean more features. However, there haven't been any leaks about the phone's specifications. So. we can't say anything for sure yet.

We do know quite a lot about the Galaxy S26 Ultra though. According to previous leaks and rumors, it will offer a thinner and lighter body, improved display, faster processor, newer camera sensors, and faster charging speed.
