Overview

  • Galaxy S25 Edge launched May 23 with preorders from May 13, marking Samsung’s latest flagship now available worldwide.
  • The $1,850 device sports a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display, Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 12GB of RAM and a dual-lens camera headlined by a 200MP main sensor with AI-assisted zoom.
  • At 5.8mm thick and 163 grams, its titanium-framed design is the slimmest nonfolding flagship, featuring Gorilla Glass, IP68 protection and a distinctive stepped camera bump.
  • Its 3,900mAh battery delivers about six hours of screen time and charging tops out at 25W, while the absence of a telephoto lens draws mixed reviews.
  • Unconfirmed reports from a tipster on X suggest Samsung may extend the ultra-thin “Edge” styling to the Galaxy S26 Ultra, though S-Pen functionality and battery life could be compromised.
