Ditching the standard and plus variants for a 'Pro' and 'Edge.'

The website seems to have stumbled upon evidence for this line-up rebranding in the One UI 8 build, and the product codenames seemed to have indicated that there may not be a base or, as they say, vanilla variant for the Galaxy S26 series next year. (Image credit: Android Authority)Sharing screenshots of the product names, the website stated that their findings in the firmware contradict previous leaks where the series' codename started with NP (New Paradigm).
