The rumor mill has been abuzz with talk of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Slim, and during its Unpacked event, where the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra were officially unveiled, Samsung teased another device that has been on the horizon: the Galaxy S25 Edge. After a long hiatus, the “Edge” name is making a return, and Samsung is set to launch this sleek, ultra-thin device later this year.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to feature a design that emphasizes its slim profile, making it one of the thinnest devices in Samsung’s Galaxy S25 lineup. The device will have only two rear cameras, distinguishing it from its larger counterparts, which typically boast three or more cameras. As for its overall performance, the S25 Edge is rumored to be a more compact, thinner version of the S25+, with one less camera and significantly reduced battery capacity.
This new device is expected to be released in May, and while it wasn’t fully detailed during the Unpacked event, leaks and speculation have given us an idea of what to expect. The S25 Edge will likely slot in between the S25+ and the S25 Ultra in terms of pricing, though Samsung has yet to reveal an official price tag.
The slim design is one of the major selling points of the Galaxy S25 Edge, but the question remains whether consumers will value the marginal gains in thinness enough to drive significant sales. The upcoming iPhone 17 Air, rumored to be even thinner but with a single rear camera and other compromises, will provide stiff competition.
It will be fascinating to see how the Galaxy S25 Edge performs in the market compared to its competitors. Only time will tell how much people prioritize slimness over other features.
