Samsung has officially unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge at its Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event on Wednesday, putting an end to months of speculation surrounding the tech giant’s new slim phone. The latest addition to the Galaxy S25 lineup, the S25 Edge, joins the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra, but stands out due to its ultra-thin design and dual-camera setup.
Samsung Revives the 'Edge' Branding
Originally rumored to launch as the Galaxy S25 Slim, Samsung surprised fans by bringing back its ‘Edge’ branding, last seen on the Galaxy S7 Edge in 2016. The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to cater to users who prefer sleeker, more compact smartphones without compromising on premium features.
A Distinct Camera Setup
While the rest of the Galaxy S25 series boasts a triple-camera setup, the S25 Edge takes a different approach. It features a dual-camera unit, with two vertically stacked lenses, hinting at a new imaging strategy. Reports suggest the primary sensor could be 200 megapixels, similar to the Ultra model, ensuring flagship-grade photography.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Specifications (Expected)
Though Samsung has yet to reveal full specifications, industry insiders expect the Galaxy S25 Edge to feature:
Display: 6.66-inch AMOLED (similar to the Galaxy S25+)
Thickness: 6.4mm (without camera bump), 8.3mm (with camera)
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy
RAM: 12GB
Software: Android 15-based One UI 7
Cameras: Dual-camera setup with a 200MP primary sensor
With these rumored specs, the Galaxy S25 Edge is shaping up to be Samsung’s response to Apple's iPhone 17 Air, which is also rumored to focus on a slimmer profile.
Expected Launch and Pricing
The Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to launch in May 2025 and is expected to be priced between the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra, making it a mid-tier flagship in Samsung’s premium lineup.
With the S25 Edge, Samsung aims to redefine thin yet powerful smartphones, providing users with a sleek alternative in the premium market. More details are expected as the phone approaches its official release in the coming months.
