Samsung has just unveiled its latest flagship, the Galaxy S25 Edge, at the May Unpacked event, and it’s turning heads with its strikingly slim design. This premium smartphone takes the Galaxy S25 series to new heights by combining top-tier specs with an ultra-thin chassis, setting a new benchmark for style and performance in the smartphone market. Here’s everything you need to know about this sleek device.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung’s thinnest Galaxy S-series phone yet, measuring just 5.8mm thick—compared to the 8.2mm of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Weighing only 163g, it’s as light as the base Galaxy S25 while offering a larger 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X display with a 1440x3120 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth visuals. The phone’s titanium frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 enhance durability, addressing concerns about the fragility of such a slender device. Available in Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue, the S25 Edge is as stylish as it is sturdy, with an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance.

Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Edge mirrors the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s prowess with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, ensuring flagship-level performance for gaming, multitasking, and AI-driven features. It comes with 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB, making it a powerhouse for demanding users. The phone also features an expanded vapor chamber for improved heat dissipation, maintaining performance during intense tasks. Running on Android 15 with Samsung’s Galaxy AI suite, including features like Now Brief, Gemini Live, and AI-powered editing tools, the S25 Edge delivers a smart and seamless user experience.

The Galaxy S25 Edge sports a dual-camera setup, headlined by a 200MP main sensor with 2x optical quality zoom, capable of capturing 40% brighter images in low light compared to the standard S25. It’s paired with a 12MP ultrawide lens with autofocus, offering versatility for wide-angle shots. While it lacks the telephoto lens found on other S25 models, the 200MP sensor ensures stunning detail and clarity. A 12MP front camera handles selfies, delivering sharp and vibrant results, consistent with the rest of the S25 series, as noted in the port layout reveal.
To achieve its razor-thin profile, Samsung opted for a 3,900mAh battery, smaller than the 4,900mAh cell in the Galaxy S25+. Despite this, Samsung claims the S25 Edge offers all-day battery life, thanks to optimized cooling and power delivery solutions. However, the phone doesn’t fully support the Qi2 wireless charging protocol, which might disappoint some users. The cameras also protrude slightly from the slim frame, but Samsung has balanced the design to ensure the phone feels stable and premium in hand.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is available for pre-order now, with prices starting at $1,099 (approximately ₹93,330) for the 12GB+256GB variant and $1,219 (approximately ₹1,03,510) for the 512GB model. It hits stores on May 30, 2025 Improvised versions of the Galaxy S25 Edge are already available for purchase, and will be available in India later this month. Those who reserve the phone can snag a $50 Samsung credit for their next Galaxy device purchase.
While the Galaxy S25 Edge shares much of its DNA with the Galaxy S25 Ultra, its ultra-slim 5.8mm chassis, and lightweight 163g build make it a unique offering in the premium smartphone segment. Samsung’s focus on durability, with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 and a titanium frame, ensures this thin phone can withstand daily wear and tear. Whether you’re drawn to its sleek aesthetics or its flagship performance, the S25 Edge is poised to compete with upcoming thin phones like the rumored iPhone 17 Air.
