Here are the 5 biggest rumors about Samsung's super-thin phone - the Galaxy S25 Edge.
Samsung ended its Galaxy Unpacked event in January by revealing the super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge. However, Samsung has yet to reveal more about this "super product".
According to the latest rumors, the Galaxy S25 Edge will officially launch on May 13, with pre-orders starting the following day. Therefore, the public will only have to wait about two weeks to see it for themselves.
Here are the 5 most important details about the Galaxy S25 Edge, based on the rumors that have appeared.
1. Thin and light design
According to source Evan Blass, the Galaxy S25 Edge will be just 5.8mm thick at its thinnest point. Previously, the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which was introduced at the Galaxy Unpacked event in January, was 8.2mm thick.
While the Galaxy S25 Edge is super thin, it may not be the thinnest phone to come out in 2025. Apple is about to launch the iPhone 17 Air, which is just 5.5mm thin at its thinnest point.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is not only thin, but it's also quite light. Blass says it weighs just 5.7 ounces - 161g. That makes the Galaxy S25 Edge about the same weight as the Galaxy S25, which is impressive, considering the Galaxy S25 Edge has a larger screen - 6.6 inches (the Galaxy S25 has a 6.2-inch screen).
2. A more durable phone
A thin phone is useless if it can't withstand the stress of everyday use. According to multiple sources, Samsung is taking steps to ensure the Galaxy S25 Edge's slim design is durable.
First, the phone will have a titanium frame - a material stronger than aluminum, making the device more beautiful and lighter. Leaked specifications also show that the phone is IP68 water-resistant, like the Galaxy S25 series.
According to source Evan Blass, the super-slim smartphone will use Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, which helps protect the Galaxy S25 Edge from scratches and impacts. Gorilla Glass Ceramic can withstand 10 drops on asphalt, durable enough for everyday use.
3. Powerful AI
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to use the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, found in the Galaxy S25 series.
In addition to the performance boost, the Snapdragon 8 Elite will bring the Galaxy S25 Edge the same Galaxy AI features as the Galaxy S25, including new capabilities introduced in January. Users will get access to features like Now Brief, which is based on Samsung's Personal Data Engine - a feature not available on any phone other than the current Galaxy S25 series.
4. Galaxy S Ultra-style camera
The Galaxy S25 Edge will only offer two rear cameras instead of three, ditching the telephoto lens, making the phone thinner.
Rumors have claimed that the phone will have a 200MP main camera. Samsung's Galaxy S Ultra series has had this sensor for years, and last year, Samsung launched a special edition of the Galaxy Z Fold phone with a 200MP main camera.
Not only that, the flagship's ultra-wide-angle lens will use the same 50MP sensor as the Galaxy S25 Ultra. What's important here, however, is that the 200MP main camera will give the Galaxy S25 Edge some powerful hardware to compete with the best camera phones out there.
5. Long battery life
According to multiple sources, the Galaxy S25 Edge will have a 3,900 mAh battery. That's smaller than the Galaxy S25's 4,000 mAh battery. The Galaxy S25 lasted 13 hours and 28 minutes in our battery test. While that's the shortest time in the Galaxy S25 series, it's still longer than the 3-hour average for smartphones.
Galaxy S25 Edge: How much does it cost?
Some rumors have suggested that the Galaxy S25 Edge will cost the same as the Galaxy S25 Plus. However, recent reports suggest that it will cost 1.5 million won (about VND 27.3 million) in South Korea.
This price is not too high, can compete with iPhone 17 Air - will be affected by new US tariffs.
