How long do we have to wait for that thin Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge?

During the presentation of the Samsung Galaxy S25 line, the company also showed off a thin variant. But when is that Edge coming?

Samsung had a few surprises during Galaxy Unpacked, in addition to the S25 lineup. These included a headset as well as a thin smartphone: the S25 Edge.

Samsung didn’t give away much more than a short video, from which we couldn’t make out much. Is more known, and when exactly will this thin smartphone arrive?

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: thin innovation

While there are quite a few rumors about a thin iPhone 17, Samsung is the first to actually come out with a thin version of their flagship: the Galaxy S25 Edge.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has a thickness of only 6.4 millimeters, which is considerably less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which has a thickness of 8.2 millimeters. What is noticeable, however, is that the camera sticks out quite a bit, especially from the perspective of a thin smartphone.

Yet the iPhone 17 Air, as Apple’s thin smartphone would possibly be called, appears to be even thinner. Rumors speak of 5.5 millimeters. Anyway, the question is what exactly is true about that.

Differences between the S25 and S25 Edge

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will have two cameras on the back, which means it will lose out compared to the S25 and S25+. It seems Samsung will opt for a main camera and an ultra-wide-angle lens. If the main camera has the same 200 MP sensor as that of the S25, zooming will be less necessary, allowing a telephoto lens to be omitted.

This does seem to give Samsung another advantage over the iPhone 17 Air, if the rumors are true. The Apple device would possibly get only one camera on the back.

To make the smartphone thinner, Samsung may employ several techniques. One possible innovation is the use of a tandem OLED screen. This type of screen, which Apple already applies to the iPad Pro, eliminates the need for a backlight, allowing it to be thinner. The downside, however, is that this screen is more expensive to produce.

Release date and price

The big question is when the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will be released. Rumors now point to May, which makes quite a bit of sense. That way it falls right between the launch of the S25 line and that of the Z Flip and Fold, which are likely to be announced in the summer.

The price, however, remains guesswork and depends heavily on the materials used. You’ll probably sacrifice camera options and battery life, but get a thinner smartphone in return. It would not be crazy if the price is between that of the Galaxy S25 Plus and the Ultra, representing a price point between 1,149 and 1,449 euros.
