The much-anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge was unveiled on May 12 at Samsung’s virtual Unpacked May 2025 event. The Galaxy S25 Edge was previewed on Samsung’s website several days before the official announcement, but key details — including form factor, specific features, and pricing information — were withheld until the event.
Key features of the Galaxy S25 Edge
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is a slimmer version of the Galaxy S25 that was announced earlier this year; the thinnest part of the smartphone measures only 5.8mm. Also, the smartphone weighs only 5.75 ounces.
Similar to the Galaxy S25 and the Galaxy S24 Ultra, the Galaxy S25 Edge features integrated AI in the way of Galaxy AI and Gemini; these features include real-time language translation, chat and writing assistance, photo editing, and other productivity tools. Additional AI capabilities are expected as software updates roll out.
The smartphone introduces Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 from Corning Inc., a new material designed to enhance durability and crack resistance while maintaining the phone’s sleek design.
The Galaxy S25 Edge includes two lenses: one at a whopping 200MP and an ultrawide lens at 12MP.
Pricing and release date
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is available for preorder with an in-store date of May 23. Pricing starts at $1,099 for the 256 GB of storage; those who pre-order early can snag one that comes with 512 GB.
Expanding the Galaxy S25 line
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge follows the original S25, the S25+, and the S25 Ultra. While it’s priced quite a bit higher than the Ultra, Samsung hopes that consumers will embrace the slimmer profile and lightweight design when its latest smartphone hits store shelves later this month.
