Samsung is preparing to refresh both its budget tablet lineup and flagship smartphone design, with the Galaxy Tab A11 appearing in certification photos while leaks reveal the Galaxy S26 Edge will be even slimmer than its predecessor.

A new listing on Safety Korea’s certification site has revealed the Galaxy Tab A11 in an actual device photo, showing Samsung’s continued focus on simple, no-fuss design for its entry-level tablet series.

The image confirms slim bezels with a front-facing camera positioned along the top edge for landscape video calls, while the rear features a single camera with LED flash in a clean, minimalist layout.

The device carries model number SM-X135N and is expected to succeed the 2023 Galaxy Tab A9, which features an 8.7-inch TFT LCD screen, MediaTek Helio G99 processor, up to 8GB of RAM, and Android 13.

Early rumours suggest the Tab A11 could include a 5,000mAh battery and launch with pricing under $229.

Industry tipster Abishek Yadav claims the Galaxy Tab A11, along with a larger Tab A11+ variant, could debut in India next month, with a global launch potentially following shortly after.

The tablet is expected to maintain Samsung’s practical approach with stereo speakers, microSD expansion, and USB-C connectivity for streaming, web browsing, and light productivity tasks.

Reliable leaker Ice Universe reports that Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Edge will measure just 5.5mm thick, making it 0.3mm slimmer than the already-slim Galaxy S25 Edge while reportedly including a larger 4,200mAh battery.

This represents a significant engineering achievement in maintaining battery capacity while reducing device thickness.

However, conflicting reports suggest the S26 Edge could feature a 4,400mAh battery, matching the Galaxy Z Fold 7’s capacity despite the foldable device using two separate battery units across a much larger form factor.

The discrepancy raises questions about Samsung’s battery technology approach, particularly as the company reportedly focuses on solid-state battery development rather than silicon-carbon alternatives.

The S26 Edge is expected to replace the Galaxy S25 Plus in Samsung’s lineup, launching alongside the standard Galaxy S26 Pro and S26 Ultra models.

This positioning creates challenges for Samsung in compensating for the S25 Plus’s 4,900mAh battery capacity while maintaining the Edge’s ultra-thin profile.

Both developments reflect Samsung’s continued strategy of targeting distinct market segments with budget-conscious tablets and premium ultra-slim smartphones, though official specifications and launch dates remain unconfirmed for both devices.
