The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has arrived, boasting the title of the thinnest Galaxy S series smartphone to date. Samsung unveiled its latest flagship on Monday, May 12th, in a sleek online presentation. This new device prioritizes portability and style without compromising on high-end performance.
Design and Portability
The Galaxy S25 Edge’s most striking feature is its slim profile. At just 5.8mm thick and weighing 163 grams, it significantly undercuts the S25 Plus in both dimensions and weight, despite sharing the same 6.7-inch display size. This design choice directly addresses the discomfort associated with larger, heavier phones, offering a more comfortable user experience. MaagX mobile specialist Andy Boxall, who had hands-on time with the device, described it as “something special,” noting its unique appearance compared to other current smartphones.
Performance and Features
While emphasizing portability, the S25 Edge doesn’t skimp on performance. Samsung aims to deliver a flagship experience in a slimmer package, appealing to users who value both style and functionality. The online launch presentation, led by Hubert Lee, head of Samsung’s mobile eXperience Design team, highlighted the phone’s sleek design and lightweight build. Lee emphasized that the S25 Edge achieves this slimness “without sacrificing what you love.”
Availability and Price
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is available in Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Icyblue. Starting at $1,099, the phone is available for purchase from May 23rd, with pre-orders beginning on May 13th.
Industry Impact
TM Roh, a Samsung executive, highlighted the S25 Edge as more than just a slim smartphone, calling it an “engineering marvel” and a “breakthrough for its category.” He believes the phone’s innovative design will push the boundaries of the mobile industry and inspire further advancements. The arrival of the S25 Edge also sets the stage for a renewed comparison with Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air, another anticipated slim flagship. The competition between these two devices is sure to be a key focus later this year.
