Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: What We Know Ahead of the Slim Phone’s May 12 Debut
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge will be getting its own Unpacked event on Monday.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge will be the fourth edition to the company’s flagship phone line, with a thin and light design that’s meant to set it apart from the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus and S25 Ultra. While Samsung initially gave the device an early look during the same January event that debuted the rest of the S25 lineup, the Edge will get its own Galaxy Unpacked event on Monday, May 12, at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).
And in an early tease of the event, Samsung has also announced that the phone will get a new glass ceramic display called Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 and a 200-megapixel wide camera. Outside of that display and camera announcement, the S25 Edge may have also received its biggest unofficial leak yet, with a post from WinFuture that claims to describe the phone’s design, dimensions, camera and other details about its internals.
Here’s everything we know so far, along with some rumors on what we could get with the S25 Edge.
What does the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge look like?
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge’s actual dimensions aren’t yet available but a display (which attendees couldn’t touch) showcasing a surprise first look during Samsung Unpacked event in January revealed that it’s noticeably slimmer than a standard Android flagship phone. Samsung placed its first look of the Edge alongside stand-in models that approximated the typical thickness of other phones.
That display implied that the S25 Edge would have similar height and width dimensions to phones akin to the standard Galaxy S25 but would be noticeably slimmer. Unlike other S25 phones that have three or more rear cameras, this edition will include only two, like the foldable Z Flip series. One of those cameras will be a 200-megapixel wide lens, which Samsung confirmed when announcing the Edge’s Unpacked event.
We do know that the display will be made from the new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for a «sleek yet strong design,» according to Samsung’s announcement of that display.
That display announcement lines up with prior comments on the phone’s durability, which Samsung UK Marketing Director Annika Bizon said was a priority despite its thinner frame. After remarking on the phone’s design that was revealed in January as a top feature, Bizon began teasing the phone’s durability during an interview with TechRadar at Mobile World Congress 2025.
«With anything slim, durability [has to come as part of the package]. Those are the two features [of the Edge] that are exciting [for us]. Well, I know durability isn’t exciting, but it’s really important. So watch this space because there are some exciting things to come regarding this phone,» Bizon told TechRadar.
While we don’t have official specs yet on the phone, a reportedly leaked Galaxy S25 Edge specs list has popped up on WinFuture that claims to reveal the phone’s dimensions, battery, colors and other features. These include a 3,800mAh battery, a 6.7-inch AMOLED display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, 12GB of RAM and storage variants that include 256GB and 512GB. The list also claims that the confirmed 200-megapixel main camera will come alongside a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera but no details about the front-facing camera. Samsung typically offers its phones in a variety of colors, but the WinFuture report claims that Jet Black, Icyblue and Silver will be among what’s available. It’s expected to weigh in at 163 grams (5.74 ounces).
When will the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge arrive in stores?
A specific release date has not yet been revealed for the new phone, but it seems likely that the phone’s release date will become clear after the May 12 Unpacked event. This will likely make the Edge phones available in the late spring/early summer time period, which lines up with the aforementioned WinFuture report that suggested a launch at the end of May.
Samsung’s TM Roh, the company’s president of mobile devices, told Bloomberg in January that the Edge would be one of at least two new devices on the way, including a mixed reality headset that will run on Android XR.
How much will the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge cost?
In the same Bloomberg report, Roh said that pricing wasn’t settled by Samsung yet, but that the Edge is expected to be cheaper than the $1,300 Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
«Our goal is to position this at pricing that is lower than the Ultra models so it’s more accessible and has more customers,» Roh said in the report.
This lines up with WinFuture’s spec list, which claims that the S25 Edge will cost 1,249 Euro for the 256GB variant or 1,369 Euro for the 512GB variant. By comparison, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Ultra costs 1,449 Euro for the 256GB model and 1,569 Euro for the 512GB model.
Will the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge include a curved screen like prior Galaxy Edge phones?
Samsung formerly used the Edge name to delineate Galaxy phones that had a curved screen. This included Edge editions of the Samsung Galaxy S6, S7 and the Galaxy Note. While the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge appears to be a revival of the name, it does not imply a curved edge display.
If you are looking for a phone with a curved edge display, though, last year’s Motorola Edge and the OnePlus 12 each include displays that wrap around the edges.
What about Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Slim?
Apple is rumored to be developing its own slimmer take on the iPhone and it’s possible that Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge could beat it to the market. We have an entirely different rumor roundup on what we’ve heard about a possible iPhone 17 Slim, which might replace the «Plus» edition of the iPhone that Apple’s been releasing since the iPhone 14.
