The smartphone world is buzzing with anticipation for the upcoming releases of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and the Apple iPhone 17 Air. Leaked images of the Galaxy S25 Edge, slated for release this month, reveal a surprising resemblance to rumored images of the iPhone 17 Air, expected to launch in September. This has sparked discussion about the converging designs of these two highly anticipated flagship devices.
The Galaxy S25 Edge, teased earlier this year by Samsung, is scheduled to arrive on May 13th. It’s poised to be one of the thinnest smartphones on the market, a feature highlighted in recently leaked images.

WinFuture’s images suggest an incredibly slim profile, possibly measuring a mere 5.85 millimeters thick. The device is expected to boast a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a crisp 3120 x 1440 pixel resolution and a dynamic 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. A vertically aligned dual-camera system on the back, featuring a 200MP primary sensor and a 12MP ultra-wide lens, promises high-quality photography. A 12MP front-facing camera caters to selfies and video calls. Powering the Galaxy S25 Edge is likely the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, coupled with 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB and 512GB, ensuring robust performance.
Turning our attention to the iPhone 17 Air, rumors point to a similarly thin design, approximately 5.5mm thick. A 6.6-inch LTPO display and the new Apple A19 chipset are anticipated features. Unlike the Galaxy S25 Edge’s dual-camera setup, the first-generation iPhone Air is rumored to have a single rear camera with a horizontal placement, reminiscent of the Google Pixel 9’s camera design.
Side View Comparison
While the overall aesthetics of the two phones aren’t identical, the side profiles exhibit a striking similarity. Considering the shared emphasis on thinness, some design convergence is perhaps inevitable.
The Galaxy S25 Edge will be the fourth addition to the Galaxy S25 series, joining the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be unveiled alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max in September. The coming months will reveal whether these two highly anticipated smartphones will truly be as similar as the rumors suggest.
