Samsung’s ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge promises a cutting-edge design, but its price might be a barrier for many. Early leaks suggest this premium device could command a hefty price tag, potentially rivaling even Apple’s iPhone 17 Air.
Expected Pricing and Comparisons
Rumors suggest the Galaxy S25 Edge with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage could cost between €1,200 and €1,300 (approximately $1,300-$1,400). The 512GB variant is expected to be priced between €1,300 and €1,400 (roughly $1,400-$1,522). These figures put it in direct competition with Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 Ultra, currently one of the most feature-rich Android phones available. For context, the upcoming iPhone 17 Air is rumored to launch around $900.
It’s important to note that Samsung often prices its phones lower in the US compared to the EU. The Galaxy S25, for instance, retails for €900 in the EU but $800 in the US. A similar trend is seen with the Galaxy S25 Ultra (€1,470 in the EU versus $1,300 in the US). This could mean a slightly lower price point for the S25 Edge in the US market.

Leaked information positions the Galaxy S25 Edge between the Galaxy S25+ and the Ultra model, suggesting a US price range of $1,000 to $1,300. This premium pricing likely reflects the innovative design and advanced materials used in its construction.
Design, Specs, and Features
The Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to feature a titanium chassis, similar to recent Apple devices. Three color options are anticipated: Titanium Icyblue, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Silver.
Under the hood, the device is expected to pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC, a 6.7-inch OLED display, and a relatively small 3,786 mAh battery – even smaller than the standard Galaxy S25. However, it may incorporate a larger vapor chamber cooling system to manage heat efficiently.

Conclusion
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge promises a premium experience with its innovative design and powerful specifications. However, its high price point may limit its appeal. While the final pricing remains uncertain, it will be interesting to see how Samsung positions this device within its existing lineup and how consumers respond to its premium price tag.
