Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge at its May Unpacked event, showcasing its latest flagship smartphone. While it closely mirrors the earlier-released Galaxy S25, the S25 Edge boasts a notably thinner design, offering a sleek edge to its appearance.
In terms of specifications, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge closely resembles the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, utilizing the same powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and featuring a high-resolution 200MP camera. The standout difference lies in its chassis, which has been refined to a mere 5.8mm in thickness, down from the 8.2mm of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This slim profile also makes the phone lighter, tipping the scales at just 163g.
The S25 Edge retains the same 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X display as the Galaxy S25, despite sharing similar specifications with the slightly larger 6.9-inch display of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Given its thin and expansive design, durability is a critical concern. Samsung addresses this by incorporating the new Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, which is touted to be more durable than the Gorilla Glass Armor 2 used in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. However, the real test will be its resilience against everyday mishaps, such as being sat on while in a pocket—hopefully avoiding a repeat of any "bendgate" incidents.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge also inherits the suite of "Mobile AI" tools introduced with the Galaxy S24 and enhanced throughout 2025. The Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset facilitates significant AI processing directly on the device, enhancing privacy. Despite this, many AI applications will still rely on cloud computing. Samsung has introduced innovative features that can summarize notifications and news articles at a glance, adding convenience for users.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is now available for preorder, starting at $1,099 for the 256GB model and $1,219 for the 512GB model. It is available in three elegant color options: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jet Black, and Titanium Icyblue.
Samsung is confident in the durability of this sleek phone. Let's hope their assurance holds true in real-world use.
