Rumors surrounding a possible rebrand for Samsung’s Galaxy S sequence smartphones have been swirling for a while now, and whereas we anticipate the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 line to stay with custom, extra proof is mounting that future Galaxy telephones may undertake a wholly new naming scheme.
According to leaker @Jukanlosreve on X, Samsung is “finding out the opportunity of creating a brand new model to separate the premium section from the Galaxy model.” @Jukanlosreve cites “Korean media studies” as their supply, and whereas we haven’t been in a position to observe down these studies ourselves, the tipster does have a good observe document with Samsung-related cellular leaks, so we’re inclined to belief their judgment.
Previous rumors on this subject had urged that Samsung may resurrect the Note naming scheme for the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (the final Note launched in 2020), with that telephone being known as the Samsung Galaxy Note 25, however current Galaxy S25 Ultra renders trace that Samsung will as an alternative retain the Ultra moniker for a minimum of yet another 12 months.

Interestingly, @Jukanlosreve’s newest X publish makes no point out of the Note identify. Rather, they reference the supposed creation of a wholly “new model” for the very best Samsung telephones, so maybe we’ll see Samsung lastly undertake the ‘Pro’ moniker, bringing its smartphones in step with premium fashions from the likes of Apple and Google (the iPhone 16 Pro and Google Pixel 9 Pro, for example).
Another mannequin on the chopping block?
2026 could possibly be a giant 12 months for Samsung’s customary (i.e. non-Ultra) S sequence telephones, too. According to leaker Ice Universe (through SamMobile), there may not be a Samsung Galaxy S26 in any respect, with Samsung doubtlessly dropping its least expensive, smallest Galaxy S mannequin as a result of it is “not aggressive.”
When OPPO Find X8 is launched, you will see that one of many traits of the brand new flagship in 2024 is that it’s small and highly effective. Chinese manufacturers are significantly better at making small-sized cellphones than Samsung and Apple. You will understand that Galaxy S25 is not…October 1, 2024
There’s been no indication that Samsung will add or take away fashions from its Galaxy S25 lineup in 2025, however all roads level to a serious shakeup from 2026 onwards (certainly, Ice Universe notes that Samsung “might modify the S26 sequence”).
Perhaps, then, the Galaxy S25 Ultra and Galaxy S25 would be the final of their type.
