Official Livestream | Galaxy S25 Edge: Beyond slim | Samsung
Samsung has finally unveiled its thinnest-ever Galaxy S series smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. The Korean tech giant introduced the new handset via an online video presentation that started at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, May 12.
If you missed the 14-minute presentation, you can watch it via the video player embedded at the top of this page.
Led by Hubert Lee, head of Samsung’s mobile eXperience Design team, the video is as slick as you’d expect for a launch like this. “Slim, sleek, and lightweight, without sacrificing what you love,” Lee says of the Galaxy S25 Edge. The new handset is just 5.8mm thick and weighs 163 grams — compare that to the S25 Plus, which has the same 6.7-inch display size but a thickness of 7.3mm, while tipping the scales at 190 grams.
Digital Trends’ mobile specialist Andy Boxall has already had a chance to hold Samsung’s newest flagship, commenting that it’s “something special” and “looks unlike any other smartphone available at the moment.”
With the new phone, Samsung is targeting folks who prioritize portability, style, and premium design without sacrificing flagship-level performance. Bigger, bulkier phones can be quite literally a pain to handle for extended periods, so the Edge will definitely appeal to some people.
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is available in Titanium Jetblack, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Icyblue and starts at $1,099. It’s available from May 23, with preorders starting on May 13.
“Galaxy S25 Edge is more than a slim smartphone,” Samsung executive TM Roh said in a release. “The superior engineering that brought this revolutionary smartphone to life illustrates a commitment to overcoming barriers that helps Galaxy deliver truly unexpected premium experiences for people around the world.”
Roh added: “S25 Edge not only marks a breakthrough for its category, but it also accelerates important innovation across the mobile industry.”
Indeed, now that the Edge has landed, expect attention to shift once again to Apple’s expected iPhone 17 Air, the company’s own take on the slim flagship. How will it compete with the newly arrived Edge? Well, you’ll have to wait until the fall to find out, as then when it’s likely to land.

The Galaxy S25 Edge will feature next-gen screen protection
We’re just a week away from Samsung unveiling the latest addition to its Galaxy S25 series lineup, and we’ve already seen leaks of the specs and images of Samsung’s new Galaxy S25 Edge. At 5.8 mm thick, it’s expected to be the world’s thinnest modern smartphone, and it’s also likely to feature a dual camera with a 200MP main telephoto lens.
Samsung is likely to reveal a lot more during its expected keynote next Monday, but like the best folding phones, a thin or folding display often means challenges with durability. Today, Samsung has revealed a plan for this, and the Galaxy S25 Edge will be the first smartphone to feature the new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.

Samsung confirms Galaxy S25 Edge launch date, along with its 200MP camera
Samsung has finally revealed the official launch date for its upcoming slim-and-light phone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. After several months of teasing and even showcasing the phone at multiple events, Samsung will finally let people hold the iPhone 17 Air competitor in their hands and add a perception of slimness to our imagination. May 13, as also leaked previously, is the day when Samsung will formally announce the Galaxy S25 Edge globally.
In a newsroom post, Samsung has revealed that the launch event will be hosted online on May 13 at 9 a.m. Korea time. That translates to 1 a.m. in London, 8 p.m. of May 12 in New York time, and 5 p.m. in California. It looks like a single online event will substitute for multiple regional launches.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 FE could be here sooner rather than later
Good news, Samsung fans: it seems likely the Galaxy S25 FE will release before the end of the year. Samsung has released an FE (Fan Edition) of its main flagship every year since the Galaxy S20, with the exception of 2021. The news that the Galaxy S25 FE is on the way isn’t really news — it’s been leaked several times before — but SamMobile has now discovered the firmware for the US variant of the phone, assuaging worries that Samsung might skip this generation. Some fans feared that, due to the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, there might not be a Fan Edition in 2025.
According to SamMobile, the US version for the Galaxy S25 FE uses model number SM-S731U and firmware version S731USQU0AYDH. This doesn’t mean much on its own, but it’s a distinct identifier confirming a US model is on the way. If Samsung sticks to timing from years past, the Galaxy S25 FE is likely to drop sometime around September or October.
