The upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has made headlines following a fresh leak shared by trusted tipster Evan Blass. While the device sports an elegant design and premium materials, one particular detail has sparked debate among tech enthusiasts — the possible presence of just a single bottom-firing speaker.
Leaked Design and Build Details
In the render shared on X (formerly Twitter), the Galaxy S25 Edge is seen in a striking silver color with an ultra-thin profile of just 5.8mm. The device looks refined, featuring extremely slim bezels on the front that rival even the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The back of the phone showcases a pill-shaped dual camera module — a departure from the floating lens design seen on the rest of the S25 series — possibly hinting at future Galaxy S26 design language.
Single Speaker Setup: A Surprising Move?
What’s raising eyebrows is the speaker setup. The render clearly indicates the presence of only one bottom-firing speaker, suggesting the Galaxy S25 Edge may lack a stereo speaker configuration. This could be a disappointment for users who consume media or play games without headphones. Although it’s possible the earpiece could function as a secondary speaker, that detail remains unconfirmed in the leak.
This move is unexpected for a flagship-tier device, especially considering most premium smartphones today offer immersive dual-speaker audio. Samsung may have opted for the single speaker to accommodate the thin design or make room for larger internal components, such as a potentially massive 200MP primary camera sensor.
Powerful Internal Specs
Beyond the speaker discussion, the Galaxy S25 Edge appears to pack high-end specifications. It’s rumored to feature the new Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, along with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The device will run on One UI 7, enhanced with new AI features for smarter performance and user customization.
Expected Launch and Pricing
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to launch on May 13 in South Korea, with a global release, including India and the US, likely later in the month. Price estimates suggest it could retail between $1,099 and $1,199 in the US (approximately ₹94,000 to ₹1,02,600 in India).
The pricing places it firmly in the premium segment, despite its slightly different design philosophy from the main S25 and S25 Ultra models.
Final Thoughts
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge promises a sleek look and flagship-level specs, but its audio setup could be a dealbreaker for some. Whether the single speaker leak holds true — or if Samsung surprises us with hidden stereo support — remains to be seen. Either way, anticipation for the May 13 launch is building rapidly.
