Samsung’s ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge is set to debut May 12 with flagship features, a 200MP AI-powered camera, and a sleek design aimed to rival Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air.
Looks like Samsung’s got more up its sleeve than just the Galaxy S25. Remember that surprise teaser they dropped during the S25 launch in January? That mysterious ultra-thin Galaxy Edge device? Well, it’s about to step into the spotlight.
Mark your calendar: Samsung will officially reveal the Galaxy S25 Edge on Monday, May 12 at 8:00 p.m. ET (or May 13 at 9:00 a.m. KST if you’re in South Korea).
What Exactly is the Galaxy S25 Edge?
Think of it as a sleek middle ground between style and power. It’s thinner than any of Samsung’s S25 devices, yet still packs those premium flagship features you’d expect. In short, it aims to blend performance with portability, a sort of Android answer to Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air.
And yes, Samsung is hyping it hard. They’re calling the S25 Edge an “engineering marvel,” and claim it delivers “flagship-level performance with superior portability.”
“This is more than a slim smartphone,” Samsung says. “Every curve, contour, and component reflects a breakthrough in precise engineering.”
What’s Under the Hood?
We’re talking AI-powered everything. Samsung says the Galaxy Edge will act as a “powerful AI companion,” especially when it comes to photography. The phone is expected to feature a 200MP wide-angle camera paired with mobile AI smarts to enhance your shots.
That makes it sound like the perfect phone for shutterbugs who don’t want to lug around a bulky device.
When Can You Get it?
There’s a bit of a catch: Samsung might first roll out the Galaxy S25 Edge in South Korea and China, with a broader global release coming later due to possible supply constraints.
How Does it Stack Up Against Apple’s Next Big Thing?
If you’re keeping track of the Apple side of things, the Galaxy S25 Edge is set to hit shelves months before the iPhone 17 Air. Apple’s device, rumored to be about 5.5mm thick, is expected in September and will come with a 6.6-inch OLED screen, ProMotion, a single rear camera, 12GB RAM, and Apple’s new A19 chip.
