Samsung surprised everyone at its January Galaxy Unpacked event by unveiling the Galaxy S25 Edge, a sleek, ultra-thin smartphone that replaces the rumoured Galaxy S25 Slim.
While the prototype showcased at the event gave us a glimpse of its design, many details about the phone remain under wraps.
Here’s what we know so far about the Galaxy S25 Edge.
Release date
Samsung hasn’t confirmed a release date for the Galaxy S25 Edge, but rumours suggest it could arrive in mid-2025. Some reports point to a June launch, while others speculate an April release. Given Samsung’s focus on the Galaxy S25 lineup’s February 7 launch, the Edge is likely to debut later in the year, possibly alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Z Flip 6 at the next Unpacked event.
There’s also speculation about its availability. While some rumours claim the Edge will be a special edition limited to select markets like the U.K. and Australia, its preview at a U.S. event hints at a broader release.
Price
The Galaxy S25 Edge’s pricing remains a mystery. However, some believe it will replace the Galaxy S FE series, offering a more affordable option at around $649. Others suggest it could slot between the Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra for $1,299, positioning it as a premium device with a price tag exceeding, $1,000.
Design and display
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be one of Samsung’s thinnest phones yet. Rumours suggest it could measure as slim as 6.4mm, rivalling the Galaxy Z Fold 6’s 5.6mm thickness when unfolded. The prototype showcased at Unpacked featured a dual-camera setup, a departure from the triple-lens design seen in earlier renders.
As for the display, leaks hint at a 6.7-inch screen, matching the Galaxy S24 FE’s size. However, Samsung has yet to confirm any details.
Cameras
The Galaxy S25 Edge is rumoured to feature a 200MP main camera, matching the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s flagship specs. This would mark a significant upgrade for a slim device, though it’s unclear if it will also adopt the Ultra’s 50MP ultra-wide lens.
Specs and performance
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, the same processor powering the rest of the S25 lineup. However, concerns about heat management in such a thin device have led to speculation that Samsung might opt for the Exynos 2400 chip instead.
Other rumoured features include upgraded RAM for better efficiency, 25W wired charging (matching the base Galaxy S25), and support for Qi2 wireless charging with a compatible case. The phone will likely ship with Samsung’s One UI 7 based on Android 15, offering access to the latest Galaxy AI features.
The Galaxy S25 Edge promises to combine cutting-edge technology with a sleek, ultra-thin design. While many details remain unconfirmed, its rumoured 200MP camera, premium specs, and innovative form factor make it one of the most anticipated smartphones of 2025.
