Samsung will unveil its sleekest smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, on May 13, leaks confirm. The device, teased at January’s Samsung Unpacked, boasts a razor-thin 5.85mm titanium frame. It aims to outshine competitors like Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air. However, its slim profile comes at a cost: a 3,900mAh battery, significantly smaller than the 4,900mAh in the Galaxy S25 Plus. Tech enthusiasts worry this could mean shorter battery life for power users.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge sports a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with 1440p resolution. It runs on the powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage options include 256GB or 512GB, catering to diverse user needs. Its camera setup features a 200MP main sensor and a 12MP ultrawide lens, but lacks a telephoto camera. This compromise prioritizes thinness over advanced zoom capabilities, a bold move by Samsung.
Pricing leaks suggest the 256GB model will retail for €1,249 in Germany, with the 512GB variant at €1,369. In Canada, prices start at $1,678.99 CAD for 256GB, positioning the Edge between the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra. Samsung accidentally revealed these figures on its Canadian website, fueling excitement and speculation. The phone will launch in Titanium Silver, Titanium Icyblue, and Titanium Jet Black, with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 protecting the display.

Industry leaker Evan Blass shared a now-removed promotional image pinpointing the May 13 announcement. WinFuture’s detailed specs and renders confirm the device’s IP68 rating, Wi-Fi 7, and Bluetooth 5.4. Samsung plans an online-only event, a departure from lavish in-person Unpacked showcases. Initial sales kick off in South Korea and China on May 23, with a global rollout by May 30.
Analysts see the S25 Edge as Samsung’s preemptive strike against Apple’s slim iPhone. Yet, the smaller battery and absent telephoto lens spark debate. Will style trump substance? Fans await hands-on reviews to judge battery efficiency and durability. Samsung’s gamble on thinness could redefine premium smartphones—or highlight the limits of sleek design.
