Samsung has officially announced the global launch date for its highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge. Following its initial unveiling at the Galaxy Unpacked event and subsequent showcase at the MWC 2025 in Barcelona, the S25 Edge is set to launch globally on May 13 at 9am KST (05:30am IST).
This new entrant in the Galaxy S25 series will reportedly be the slimmest flagship Galaxy device to date, measuring just 5.85mm in thickness. Alongside cutting-edge hardware, the phone will also integrate the latest Galaxy AI capabilities.
Flagship-Level Camera and Design
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a powerful 200-megapixel main camera at the rear—just like the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s also expected to include a 12MP ultra-wide camera and a 12MP front sensor for selfies and video calls.
The handset may boast a titanium middle frame, a Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 display, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back, offering top-notch durability. With an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance and an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, Samsung is aiming to combine elegance with toughness.
Top-Tier Specs and Performance
Expected to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, the Galaxy S25 Edge will likely come with 12GB of RAM and run on Android 15-based One UI 7. The phone will feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 1440 x 3120 resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate for a premium visual experience.
It could pack a modest 3,900mAh battery with Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 support. While not the largest battery, Samsung appears to be banking on efficiency and optimization from its hardware-software integration.
Expected Pricing and Color Options
Leaks suggest pricing could start at EUR 1,249 (~Rs. 1,19,000) for the 256GB model and EUR 1,369 (~Rs. 1,30,000) for the 512GB variant. Expected colorways include Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Icyblue, and Titanium Silver.
