Samsung is set to officially reveal the Galaxy S25 Edge during a virtual Unpacked event on Monday, May 12th at 8PM ET. This announcement provides an answer to at least one of the many questions surrounding Samsung’s upcoming sleek phone, which the company hinted at earlier in January. Today’s accompanying blog post offers a few more details, although most information will be disclosed during Monday’s event.
Samsung isn’t hiding what’s in store: it’s clearly the Galaxy S25 Edge. In the blog, the device is explicitly named, and it’s noted for “setting a new benchmark for smartphone capabilities” while heralding a “new era of growth for the mobile industry.” This is promising news for an industry facing declining sales in recent years. The blog also mentions that despite its thin design, the S25 Edge will feature a 200-megapixel main camera, similar to the high-end Galaxy S25 Ultra.
This implies that the S25 Edge is likely to be more of a high-end device compared to Apple’s speculated thin phone. The rumored iPhone 17 Air might feature a single rear camera and a blend of premium and basic components. Samsung states that the S25 Edge will combine “flagship-level performance with superior portability.”
So what does a flagship-level slim phone that’s supposedly going to set the ailing mobile industry on fire cost? And where will it be sold? Recent rumors pointed to a delayed US launch. It wouldn’t be too surprising to see the phone launch first in Korea, though the fact that Samsung US is offering a $50 credit to those who reserve the phone now bodes well for us. At least one thing looks certain: we won’t have to keep guessing for much longer. The virtual event will stream in plenty of places including Samsung’s YouTube channel.
