Samsung announced their latest Galaxy S series flagships named as Galaxy S9/S9 Plus earlier this year. This were the successor to the Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus released last year. However, the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were released earlier which was the last series to have the Edge variant. Also, we have known that Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were released with Android Marshmallow.
