Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge: New Leak Challenges Ultra-Slim Design, Confirms Battery Upgrade
New details emerging from a recent certification filing suggest that while the Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge is indeed slated for a significant battery capacity upgrade, its much-anticipated ultra-slim chassis might not be as thin as previously rumored. Set to launch in 2026, the next-generation flagship has been the subject of intense speculation, particularly concerning its design and power.
According to the latest leak, a component registered with China’s 3C regulator, identified as EB-BS947ABY, indicates a rated battery capacity of 4,078mAh, which is expected to translate to a typical capacity of 4,200mAh. This marks a notable improvement over its predecessor’s battery. However, the certification specifies a traditional lithium-ion battery, not the advanced silicon-carbon technology some rumors suggested would enable a 5.5mm depth. This detail casts doubt on the possibility of the S26 Edge achieving an even thinner profile than its already slender predecessors, potentially retaining a depth closer to its current design.
Despite the potential design compromise, the increased battery capacity, coupled with hints of a top-end Qualcomm processor for some markets, suggests Samsung is prioritizing endurance and performance. The model number SM-S947 further strengthens the connection to the upcoming S26 Edge series, keeping tech enthusiasts on high alert for more leaks as its 2026 launch approaches.
