Samsung is about to introduce a brand-new variant to its Galaxy S25 lineup — the Galaxy S25 Edge — during a dedicated Unpacked launch taking place on May 12 at 8 p.m. ET (or 5:30 a.m. IST on May 13). This device will round out the S25 family, joining the standard model, the Plus version, and the feature-heavy Ultra edition.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to bring something different to the table. It aims to offer a more compact and featherweight alternative for users who prefer a sleeker smartphone without going for the Ultra’s size and specs. Early glimpses during Samsung’s January teaser event hinted at its ultra-thin frame, though precise measurements remain unconfirmed. However, industry insiders believe the Edge will share similar height and width with the Galaxy S25, but with a much slimmer body, making it one of the lightest flagships Samsung has ever built.
A New Take on Camera Design
In terms of rear photography, the Galaxy S25 Edge will take a more minimal approach. It’s expected to come with two back cameras, a departure from the triple or quad-camera arrangements seen in other high-end phones. This design choice appears to mirror the styling of the Galaxy Z Flip series, which also prioritizes compactness over complexity. While full camera specs haven’t leaked yet, Samsung is likely targeting users who value portability and ease of use over raw lens count.
What’s Under the Hood? Performance and Display Specs
Reports sourced from WinFuture and other tech insiders suggest that the S25 Edge will be no slouch in terms of performance. It will sport a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, delivering punchy colors, sharp contrast, and smooth visuals. At its core is the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, a customized version of Qualcomm’s latest chip, built specifically for Samsung devices to maximize speed and efficiency.
Memory configurations will include 12GB RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of internal storage, providing users with top-tier capacity for apps, files, and games. As for battery life, the handset will rely on a 3,800mAh battery, slightly smaller than some competitors, but balanced by the energy efficiency of its processor and Samsung’s software optimization.
Colors, Design, and Market Placement
Aesthetically, the S25 Edge will launch in at least three striking colors: Jet Black, Icy Blue, and Silver. These shades are designed to appeal to a wide range of tastes, from classic to modern. While Samsung hasn’t confirmed how much the device will cost, most analysts expect it to be positioned just below the Ultra model — offering flagship-level power in a slimmer and more affordable package.
As Samsung prepares to officially reveal the Galaxy S25 Edge, tech enthusiasts and Galaxy fans alike are eager to see how it performs in real-world use and whether its pared-down design strikes the right balance between functionality and form.
