Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge tease at the end of the company’s January Unpacked event stole the spotlight from the rest of the S25 lineup. This slimmer edition of the Galaxy S25 was also available for attendees to see after the keynote but was not available for a closer look.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra and the regular S25 and S25 Plus go on sale Feb. 7, but we still don’t have many details about this elusive, thinner device, which is slated for release later this year.
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 showcasing a first look at the phone shows that it’s noticeably slimmer than a standard Android flagship phone. Samsung placed its first look at the Edge alongside stand-in models that approximated the typical thickness of other phones.
This implied that the S25 Edge would have similar height and width dimensions to phones similar 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.
The S25 Edge will also prioritize durability despite its thinner frame, according to Samsung UK Marketing Director Annika Bizon. 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.
We don’t have any other specs at the moment, but it’s possible this phone will sacrifice other attributes to maintain its slimmer frame.
When will the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge arrive in stores?
A specific release date has not yet been revealed for the new phone, but according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Edge should be arriving in the US and other markets by the middle of 2025. Samsung’s TM Roh, the company’s president of mobile devices, told Bloomberg 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.
Should that release period pan out, we might see the S25 Edge arrive around the summer, which is when Samsung typically unveils its foldable phones and new Galaxy Watches.
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.
