What’s in a name?
Usually, not much. The product branding strategies of companies as seasoned as Samsung rarely have a deeper meaning than to make it clear that X device comes after Y device with the typical batch of yearly improvements. But on occasion, a phone with no obvious predecessor will see daylight, and when that happens, companies need to figure out slightly more inventive monikers.
Someone is feeling nostalgic!
I know, I know, I might be reading too much into a moniker that may have been chosen by Samsung simply because it undeniably sounds cooler than Galaxy S25 Slim, but what if the Galaxy S25 Edge is meant to (indirectly) prepare us for a revival we’ve all dreamt about for so excruciatingly long?

Similarly, a Galaxy S26 Note with all of the S24 Ultra’s S Pen skills resurrected (and possibly, a few entirely new ones added into the mix) wouldn’t reinvent the wheel, but executed correctly and with the proper respect given to the Galaxy Note family legacy from the years 2011 to 2020, it could definitely provide a blend of nostalgia and modernity many hardcore fans are currently dying for.
