The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is finally on the horizon. After a missed anticipated announcement date, a new report suggests Samsung will hold an Unpacked event on May 13, with pre-orders beginning May 24. Initial availability is slated for South Korea and China, with a wider global release, including the U.S., following closely on May 20.
Galaxy S25 Edge: Global Availability and Pricing
While previous reports left the U.S. release of the Galaxy S25 Edge in question, this latest information from South Korean news source The Financial News points to a broader launch. The report, citing an anonymous industry source, indicates a staggered release, starting in Asia before expanding to other markets. It also offers a potential price point of around 1.5 million Korean won (approximately $1,045 USD), suggesting a possible $1,000 price tag internationally, similar to the Galaxy S25 Plus.
Slim Design and Powerful Performance
The Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to boast a remarkably thin profile, measuring between 5.8mm and 6.4mm. Paired with a 6.7-inch display, this slim design is expected to be a key selling point. Internal specifications reportedly include the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, found across the Galaxy S25 lineup, and storage options of 256GB and 512GB.
Camera Specifications and Competition with Apple
Interestingly, the report suggests the Galaxy S25 Edge will feature only two rear cameras, omitting a telephoto lens. Speculation suggests Samsung expedited the phone’s production and release to compete with Apple’s anticipated slim iPhone 17 Air, expected later this year. While the S25 Edge might be launching strategically, Samsung is also expected to release its foldable devices, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7, sometime during the summer.
Anticipating the Unpacked Event
If the May 13 Unpacked event date proves accurate, invitations should be forthcoming in early May. This means the official unveiling of one of 2025’s most intriguing smartphones is just around the corner. We’ll soon have concrete details about the Galaxy S25 Edge’s design, features, and availability.
