Galaxy S25 Edge launch set for May 12 with premium camera in ultra-slim body

Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S25 Edge will debut on Monday, May 12, during a virtual Unpacked event at 8 PM ET. The device aims to merge flagship-level performance with a slimmer, more refined form factor—catering to users who want high-end specs without the bulk.

Galaxy S25 Edge launch brings slim design and high-end specs

At just 6.4mm thick, the Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung’s slimmest S-series phone to date. But don’t let the size fool you. It features a powerful 200MP main camera, putting it on par with the Galaxy S25 Ultra in imaging capability. The Edge model is expected to retain a curved-edge display, which has been phased out of other S25 models, giving it a unique visual flair and more immersive screen feel.

Preorder incentives hint at fast-track availability

In the lead-up to launch, Samsung US is offering a $50 credit to customers who reserve the device early. That offer alone suggests the Galaxy S25 Edge will be available for purchase soon after the event. While early leaks pointed to a possible delay in US markets, current promotions indicate a swift rollout is likely—possibly within days of the announcement.

With Galaxy S25 Edge performance meets portability

The S25 Edge isn’t just about design. It’s expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip and support advanced AI-driven features similar to those in the Ultra. Paired with flagship-level RAM and display quality, it’s shaping up to be a device that balances speed, photography, and style—all in a compact frame.

Buzz builds before Unpacked

Excitement around the S25 Edge continues to build, especially as more users demand phones that don’t feel like bricks in their pocket. If Samsung nails the balance between form and function, the S25 Edge could become a sleeper hit in its lineup—less flashy than the Ultra, but just as capable.
