The much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a slimmer flagship model, is expected to launch soon after its initial tease during the Galaxy S25 unveiling in January. Rumors suggest an April 16th release date. While specifications have been circulating, a recent leak from reliable source UniverseIce on Weibo provides more concrete details.
The Galaxy S25 Edge will reportedly feature a titanium alloy frame, aligning with earlier rumors about the device’s color options: Titanium Icyblue, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Jetblack. This echoes the premium design of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which also incorporates titanium. While previous speculation considered aluminum and ceramic, titanium now seems confirmed, a logical choice for a premium, thin, and light smartphone.
UniverseIce also revealed the Galaxy S25 Edge will boast a 2K display, likely with a resolution of 3120 x 1400 pixels. Paired with the anticipated 6.7-inch screen size, this display is likely identical to the Galaxy S25 Plus.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Specifications: A Closer Look
It’s speculated that Samsung aims to compete with the rumored iPhone Air by introducing the Galaxy S25 Edge. This model could also serve as a design test before potentially replacing standard Galaxy S models with a slimmer profile around 2026.
The device is expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy. A large vapor chamber for cooling would be beneficial, especially given the Snapdragon 8 Elite’s tendency to run warm. This might explain the rumored smaller 3,786mAh battery, a decrease from the Galaxy S25’s 4,000mAh. Slimness may come at the cost of battery life.
If the 6.7-inch display mirrors the S25 Plus, we can expect a 120Hz AMOLED panel with a peak brightness of 2,600 nits. The camera system is rumored to include a 200-megapixel main sensor and a 12-megapixel ultrawide lens.
With an estimated price tag of around $1,400, the Galaxy S25 Edge enters the premium segment. This high price point could impact adoption rates. More information is needed to fully understand Samsung’s strategy for slimming down its flagship devices.
The success of the Galaxy S25 Edge hinges on balancing its sleek design with performance and battery life. Time will tell if this premium, slim smartphone can capture the market’s attention.
