Welcome to episode 74 of Pixelated, a podcast by NewGeekGuide. This week, Abner, Damien, and Will turn their attention to the rumored cancellation of next year’s Galaxy S26 Edge. The trio discuss what this means for the S25 Edge’s poor sales, and how it relates to Samsung’s ongoing strategy of trying to compete with Apple product by product. Plus, Abner takes the opportunity to share his thoughts on the iPhone Air a month after launch, and a look into what Google can learn from all of this.
