Finally, the wait is over! Samsung is gearing up to showcase its slimmest smartphone yet, arriving next week. The South Korean tech giant has officially announced the rollout of the highly anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge on May 13, completing its impressive Galaxy S25 family. Get ready, because starting next week, we're about to witness the dawn of a new era for slim mobile phones.
Ever since the initial tease of the Galaxy S25 Edge during the Galaxy January Unpacked event, anticipation has been building. We've been following the buzz for quite some time, from leaked hands-on videos to stunning renders of the Galaxy S25 Edge. Now, we finally have the confirmed launch date for this much-awaited slim mobile. Samsung has officially announced a digital event on May 13, where they will introduce what's poised to be the world's slimmest smartphone. This marks a significant achievement for the tech company, with Samsung set to claim the title for the slimmest phone. The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be impressively thin, around 5.85mm in thickness, and remarkably lightweight at approximately 163g. Importantly, Samsung assures us that this focus on thinness will not compromise durability, meaning the S25 Edge will be both sleek and robust. The slim S25 Edge is also rumored to feature a vibrant 6.7-inch AMOLED display.
Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Edge promises to be a complete powerhouse packed into its slim form factor. It's anticipated to come equipped with the cutting-edge Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite chipset – the very same processor Samsung is prioritizing across the entire Galaxy S25 series. This chipset is widely recognized as one of the world's most powerful, a true powerhouse engineered by Qualcomm. The Galaxy S25 Edge will also likely feature the intuitive One UI 7, although there are whispers of a potential debut for the as-yet-unreleased Galaxy One UI 8. Furthermore, the Galaxy S25 Edge will come loaded with the fundamental and trending Galaxy AI features, mirroring the capabilities already introduced in its family members - Galaxy S25 series.
From a camera perspective, the slim S25 Edge appears to inherit the impressive 200MP main camera lens previously seen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This highlights that the slim design doesn't mean sacrificing powerful features, offering a complete powerhouse in terms of camera capabilities. There will be a 12MP ultra-wide camera alongside the main sensor, though dedicated zoom capabilities might be absent. The anticipated price of the Galaxy S25 Edge has also been officially revealed, suggesting it will likely fall between the Galaxy S25 Plus and S25 Ultra, placing it in the vicinity of $1300. It's expected to be available with storage options ranging from 256GB to 512GB and potentially 8GB or 12GB of RAM.
You can tune into the official launch event on Samsung's official YouTube channel and website on May 13, 2025, at 9 AM Korea time. Due to varying time zones, this translates to approximately May 12, around 5 PM in California.
So, stay tuned! We'll be here to keep you informed on everything Samsung unveils.
