Samsung Official Teases Galaxy S25 Edge Launch Timeline at Galaxy Unpacked

Samsung has hinted at the launch of its Galaxy S25 Edge, the newest addition to the Galaxy S25 series, at the Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event in San Jose, California. Reviving its 'Edge' branding, the device is expected to stand out with a slimmer profile compared to its flagship counterparts in the S25 lineup. While the phone's pricing and detailed specifications remain undisclosed, reports indicate a potential launch in April.

Launch Timeline

According to a report by 9to5Google, a Samsung representative suggested during the event that the Galaxy S25 Edge could debut "around April," aligning with previous speculations of an April or May release.

The announcement accompanies speculation that competing brands like Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo may also introduce thinner phones in response to the Galaxy S25 Edge's slim design.

Expected Specifications

While Samsung has kept details under wraps, the Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to feature:

• Display: A 6.66-inch screen similar to the Galaxy S25+ model.
• Design: A slim 6.4mm profile (without the camera) and 8.3mm thickness around the camera module.
• Camera: Dual rear camera setup with vertically stacked lenses, led by a 200-megapixel primary sensor.
• Chipset: Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the same processor powering the flagship Galaxy S25 models.
• RAM: 12GB as standard.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is anticipated to fill the gap between the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra in Samsung’s lineup, offering high-end features at a potentially competitive price.

Position in the Market

This device is widely seen as Samsung's response to the rumored iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to debut this year as part of Apple’s iPhone 17 lineup. With its thinner design and high-performance specs, the Galaxy S25 Edge aims to capture a segment of the market seeking sleek yet powerful devices.

As part of the Galaxy S25 series, which is priced in India between ₹80,999 and ₹129,999, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to cater to premium users seeking a balance of innovation and aesthetics.
