Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge tease at the end of the company’s January Unpacked event stole the spotlight from the rest of the S25 lineup. This slimmer edition of the Galaxy S25 was also available for attendees to see after the keynote but was not available for a closer look.
The Galaxy S25 Ultra and the regular S25 and S25 Plus go on sale February 7 and yet we don’t have many details about this elusive, thinner device, which is slated for release later this year.
Here’s everything we know so far, along with some rumors on what we could get with the S25 Edge.

What does the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge look like?
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge’s actual dimensions aren’t yet available, but a display showcasing a first look at the phone shows that it’s noticeably slimmer than a standard Android flagship phone. Samsung placed its first look at the Edge alongside stand-in models that approximated the typical thickness of other phones.
This implied that the S25 Edge will have similar height and width dimensions to phones similar to the standard Galaxy S25 but will be noticeably slimmer. Unlike other S25 phones that have three or more rear cameras, this edition will include only two, like the foldable Z Flip series.
We don’t have any other specs at the moment, but it’s possible this phone could skimp back on other attributes to maintain that slimmer frame.

When will the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge arrive in stores?
A specific release date has not yet been revealed for the new phone, but according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the Edge should be arriving in the US and other markets by the middle of 2025. Samsung’s TM Roh, the company’s president of mobile devices, told Bloomberg that the Edge would be one of at least two new devices that are on the way, which also includes a mixed reality headset that will run on Android XR.
Should that release period pan out, we might see the S25 Edge arrive around the summer, which is when Samsung typically unveils its foldable phones and new Galaxy Watches.
How much will the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge cost?
In the same Bloomberg report, Roh said that pricing wasn’t settled by Samsung yet, but that the Edge is expected to be cheaper than the $1,300 Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
“Our goal is to position this at pricing that is lower than the Ultra models, so it’s more accessible and has more customers,” Roh said in the report.
Will the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge include a curved screen like prior Galaxy Edge phones?
Samsung used to use the Edge name to delineate Galaxy phones that had a curved screen. This included Edge editions of the Samsung Galaxy S6, S7 and the Galaxy Note. While the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge appears to be a revival of the name, it does not imply a curved edge display.
If you are looking for a phone with a curved edge display, though, last year’s Motorola Edge and the OnePlus 12 each include displays that wrap around the edges.
What Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge rumors are out there?
Current speculation about the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge pertains to the phone’s cameras, but little appears to have gained traction as of this writing.
According to GSMArena’s report citing a post on X by user PandaFlashPro, the phone could have a 200-megapixel main camera alongside a 12-megapixel ultrawide one. If that were to be true, its main camera would be comparable to what’s seen on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.
What about Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Slim?
Apple’s rumored to be developing its own slimmer take on the iPhone, and it’s possible that Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge could beat it to the market. We have an entirely different rumor roundup on what we’ve heard about a possible iPhone 17 Slim, which might replace the “Plus” edition of the iPhone that Apple’s been releasing since the iPhone 14.
