What can we expect from the Galaxy S25 Edge?
Spec-wise, so far these have been the rumors surrounding the device:
- Display: 6.7-inch Super AMOLED, likely with a 120Hz refresh rate
- Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (marketed as “Snapdragon 8 Elite”)
- RAM: 12GB
- Storage: 256GB or 512GB, no microSD support
- Battery: Around 3,900mAh with 25W wired charging
- Cameras: Rumored 200MP main sensor + 12MP ultra-wide
- Colors: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Icy Blue
- Price: Estimated at €1,249 for base model, which directly converts to $1,355 USD
With that spec sheet, the S25 Edge is positioned to be a unique offering in the S25 family—not quite as massive or camera-heavy as the Ultra, but more premium and performance-focused than the base or Plus models. Its key selling point will be its design: it’s expected to be Samsung’s thinnest flagship yet, potentially measuring under 6mm in thickness. That’s slimmer than even the iPhone 16 Pro Max and could attract users who prioritize form factor without wanting to compromise too much on specs.
That said, a thinner build usually comes with trade-offs. The reported 3,900mAh battery is smaller than what we see in most high-end phones today, which could be a concern for heavy users. Samsung may be banking on software efficiency and improved thermal management—rumors point to a redesigned vapor chamber—to help offset that limitation.
From a broader perspective, this launch puts Samsung in an interesting spot. While Apple is busy preparing the iPhone 17 lineup and Chinese manufacturers continue to crowd the high-spec, low-cost space, the Galaxy S25 Edge might carve out a niche by focusing on aesthetic minimalism without completely letting go of flagship-tier performance. Ultimately, the success of this phone will depend on how it will perform, and we won’t know that until the phone is officially released. Let’s hope this newly rumored May timeline is accurate.
