Overview

  • Galaxy S25 Edge sales fell well below expectations, prompting Samsung to cut production volumes and revise sales forecasts downward.
  • Insider reports indicate production was throttled just a month after launch following an unexpected drop in Edge demand.
  • The company is evaluating a shift in its flagship roadmap toward a stronger S26 Plus model if the Edge’s compact design continues to underperform.
  • One UI 8 beta programs have been rolled out to Galaxy S25 smartphones and Galaxy Watch 7/Ultra across multiple regions, introducing an iOS-style lockscreen clock widget and AI-driven interface enhancements.
  • Samsung plans a stable One UI 8 release around July 9 on Android 16 as it reallocates Edge capacity to foldables ahead of its July Unpacked event.
