Mumbai, India — May 12, 2025: Samsung is making headlines yet again with the official debut of its most anticipated device of the year — the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Set to launch during a dedicated Galaxy Unpacked event on Monday, May 12 at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT), this sleek and powerful smartphone is already turning heads for its ultra-slim form factor, premium design, and cutting-edge camera tech.
A New Direction for the Galaxy S25 Line
Unlike the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and the high-end S25 Ultra, the Galaxy S25 Edge aims to carve its own niche by being thinner, lighter, and more design-centric. Samsung offered a glimpse of the Edge back in January during the initial S25 series reveal. But now, it’s getting its own spotlight — a move that shows just how different and important this device is to Samsung’s 2025 vision.
What’s Confirmed: Glass Ceramic Display & 200MP Camera
Samsung has officially confirmed that the S25 Edge will feature the new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2. a major step forward in screen durability and aesthetic appeal. Combined with the phone’s thin profile, it promises a “sleek yet strong” design. The camera department is equally impressive, led by a 200MP wide-angle lens, which matches the Ultra in terms of pixel count but not the number of sensors — the Edge is expected to sport just two rear cameras, giving it a cleaner, minimalist look.
Rumored Specs Paint a Powerful Picture
Though Samsung hasn’t revealed all the specs, a major leak from WinFuture suggests some top-tier internals:
- 6.7-inch AMOLED display
- Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor
- 12GB RAM
- 256GB and 512GB storage options
- 3,800mAh battery
- 12MP ultra-wide secondary camera
- Weight: 163 grams
- Color options: Jet Black, Icy Blue, Silver
This slim device is still expected to offer flagship performance — but in a sleeker and potentially more affordable package.
No Curved Screen This Time
While older “Edge” devices from Samsung, like the Galaxy S6 Edge or S7 Edge, were known for their curved displays, the S25 Edge revives the name but not the design element. The focus now is on thinness and practicality rather than curved edges.
Release Date and Pricing Expectations
While Samsung has not yet officially confirmed the exact market release date, the launch on May 12 suggests the Edge will hit shelves by late May or early June. Pricing is also expected to be lower than the S25 Ultra, with leaked figures suggesting a starting price of €1,249 (~₹1,12,000) for the 256GB variant.
Samsung’s mobile head TM Roh previously stated that the Edge is intended to be more accessible to a wider customer base, making it a compelling choice for users wanting flagship features without the Ultra price tag.
Final Thoughts
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is shaping up to be a head-turner in 2025’s smartphone lineup marrying design finesse with high-end performance. Its sleek frame, stunning 200MP camera, and premium display tech suggest Samsung isn’t just chasing specs anymore; it’s refining the feel of the flagship.
We’ll know more after the official unveiling on May 12 — but if the leaks and early confirmations are any indication, the Edge might be the sleeper hit of the year.
