Samsung is astir to uncover its thinnest smartphone to date: the Galaxy S25 Edge. Despite having a slim profile, the telephone volition support a flagship stature with top-tier hardware and software. Ahead of its authoritative launch, here's everything we cognize astir the Galaxy S25 Edge, including its merchandise date, expected specifications, and price.

S25 Edge to Go Official connected May 12, 2025

Samsung has officially announced an lawsuit for the S25 Edge connected May 13, 2025, astatine 9 AM KST. In the United States, the lawsuit should beryllium disposable to watercourse connected May 12 astatine 8 PM ET. Those funny successful watching the lawsuit tin tune into Samsung's authoritative YouTube channel.

The handset should beryllium disposable to pre-order pursuing the motorboat lawsuit and deed stores by the extremity of this period oregon aboriginal adjacent month. Pre-reservations of the handsets are already underway connected the company's authoritative website.

Galaxy S25 Edge May Feature Ultra-Slim 5.8mm Side Profile

While confirming the S25 Edge's motorboat date, Samsung said it is "more than a slim smartphone," but precisely however slim is it?

Samsung's existent flagship, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, is 8.2 mm thick, portion the Galaxy S25+ is conscionable 7.3 mm, making it 1 of the thinnest phones successful the segment. However, the S25 Edge is rumored to person a broadside illustration of conscionable 5.8 oregon 5.9 mm (excluding the somewhat protruding camera module).

Despite having a larger signifier origin than the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25 Edge volition measurement akin to the baseline flagship, i.e., astir 163 grams. To springiness you immoderate position astir however airy Samsung's upcoming smartphone is, the S25+ with a akin surface size weighs 190 grams.

Most recently, folks astatine Android Headlines got their hands connected the promotional worldly for the Galaxy S25 Edge. The images suggest the telephone volition diagnostic a titanium frame and an IP68 particulate and h2o absorption rating.

In addition, Samsung has confirmed utilizing Corning's Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 (with embedded solid matrix crystals for enhanced durability) connected the S25 Edge, but it mightiness not person the anti-reflective properties the S25 Ultra has. However, the backmost of the handset could diagnostic Gorilla Glass Victus 2.

The S25 Edge mightiness beryllium disposable successful 3 colorways: acheronian gray, airy blue, and airy beige.

Expect a Similar Screen arsenic the S25+ but With Thinner Bezels

While the wide statement connected the rumor mill is simply a 6.7-inch screen, Tom's Guide mentions however the S25 Edge could diagnostic a 6.656-inch panel, making it a hairsbreadth smaller than the surface connected the S25+, but inactive significantly bigger than the regular S25.

Renowned tipster Ice Universe (via Sam Mobile) suggests that the S25 Edge volition person a 2K screen, possibly with a akin solution (3,120 x 1,400 pixels), peak brightness (2,600 nits), and refresh complaint (120Hz) apt with LTPO technology, arsenic the S25+, though the bezels could beryllium thinner.

If the S25 Edge ships with a surface with the aforementioned specifications, it volition present a superior ocular acquisition compared to the vanilla Galaxy S25.

S25 Edge Could Use the Snapdragon 8 Elite (3nm) SoC

Circling backmost to the leaked promotional material, it claims that the S25 Edge volition diagnostic "the astir almighty processor customized for Galaxy." This is apt a notation to the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, a somewhat overclocked mentation of Qualcomm's fastest mobile level successful the market.

We're talking astir the aforesaid spot that powers Samsung's existent flagship lineup, from the Galaxy S25, the Galaxy S25+, to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It contains a 37% faster CPU, a 30% faster GPU, and an precocious NPU susceptible of moving features similar Generative Edit wholly offline.

A GeekBench 6 listing from March 21, 2025, suggests the beingness of 12GB of RAM connected the device. Regarding storage, the ultra-thin handset volition reportedly beryllium disposable successful 2 variants: 256GB and 512GB.

Given the deficiency of abstraction wrong the handset, it seems improbable that the S25 Edge volition diagnostic a vapor chamber. However, I sincerely anticipation that Samsung surprises america with an engineering feat here, as, and I talk with acquisition here, the Galaxy S25 bid tends to vigor up a bit.

One UI 7.0 With Galaxy AI

Out of the box, the S25 Edge should tally connected One UI 7, Samsung's latest customized idiosyncratic interface based connected Android 15. With each the refinements and customization options, One UI besides offers many AI-based features for mundane tasks similar editing pictures, compiling notes, gathering accusation astir something, and more.

Like the different Galaxy S bid flagships, the S25 Edge should besides get bundle and information updates for 7 years from its launch.

Samsung Confirms 200MP Primary Camera

The institution has confirmed utilizing a 200MP superior camera connected the S25 Edge, which volition proceed "Galaxy's iconic camera experience." The leaked promotional worldly besides corroborates this, stating that the sensor volition supply "2x optical prime zoom."

Apart from the 200MP superior camera, the S25 Edge should connection a 12MP ultrawide camera with autofocus, which theoretically unlocks macro photography. On the front, buyers whitethorn get a 12MP selfie shooter (like emblematic Samsung flagships).

Like the Galaxy S25 lineup, the S25 Edge's camera should beryllium capable to seizure 8K30 videos, seizure improved low-light videos, connection the new Audio Eraser feature, see a Virtual Aperture button, and grounds successful Galaxy Log.

Being much costly than the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ and not offering a dedicated telephoto camera could rise immoderate questions astir the S25 Edge, but hey, it isn't a camera-centric smartphone.

Lack of Space Might Lead to a Smaller 3,900 mAh Battery

Having a bladed chassis comes with its pros and cons. While the telephone volition crook a batch of heads with its slim broadside illustration and supply a premium in-hand feel, the deficiency of abstraction wrong could pb to a smaller battery. If the rumors astir a 3,900 mAh artillery connected the S25 Edge are true, the handset volition diagnostic the smallest artillery connected immoderate S25 model, providing the shortest artillery life.

To springiness you immoderate perspective, the vanilla Galaxy S25 has a 4,000 mAh battery, but with a smaller 6.2-inch screen. Given that the S25 Edge has a bigger surface (with higher resolution) and a smaller battery, buyers should expect a noticeable downgrade; the S25 Edge won't past arsenic agelong betwixt charges.

While the artillery should enactment 25W wired charging, the bladed assemblage mightiness not permission immoderate country for wireless charging instrumentality (let unsocial the Qi2 magnetic array that holds the charging puck oregon compatible accessories successful place).

S25 Edge to Fit Between S25+ and S25 Ultra

The Galaxy S25 Edge could beryllium priced betwixt the Galaxy S25+ and the Galaxy S25 Ultra. To recall, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25+ (256GB) astatine $999 (now disposable astatine $850), portion the S25 Ultra (256GB) is disposable astatine $1,299 (now disposable astatine $1,070).

In fact, the much I deliberation astir it, the much I recognize that the S25 Edge is simply a slimmer S25+ without the telephoto camera and a monolithic 4,900 mAh battery. In that regard, shouldn't the S25 Edge outgo little than oregon adjacent to the S25+? Time volition tell.

In my opinion, the S25 Edge should outgo betwixt $1,000 and $1,100. Its terms should beryllium person to the terms of the S25+ than that of the S25 Ultra. Given that the different 2 phones are already disposable astatine a discounted price, Samsung mightiness person to beryllium much cautious astir the Edge's price.
