In the coming months, Samsung is poised to make a significant and highly anticipated return to the ultra-slim smartphone market with the introduction of the Galaxy S25 Edge, a device that has already generated considerable excitement among tech enthusiasts and fans alike. So far, the company has only provided us with a distant and somewhat vague glimpse of what this upcoming phone will look like, but it has remained notably silent regarding the specifics of its internal components or the timeline for its official market release.
Recently, a video featuring what appears to be a functional unit of the Galaxy S25 Edge made its way into the public domain, briefly showcasing the phone’s impressively sleek profile from multiple angles. In this short yet revealing clip, the Galaxy S25 Edge is compared side by side with the Galaxy Z Fold 6, allowing viewers to appreciate the design differences between the two models. Additionally, the video offers a sneak peek into the device's internal specifications through the AIDA64 app, which is actively running on the phone.
This moment marks the first time we are able to see the Galaxy S25 Edge in a tangible and operational form, and I must say, it looks absolutely stunning. Its design is a fitting tribute to the legacy of the “Edge” series, which once firmly established Samsung’s reputation as a leading manufacturer of bold and stylish devices in the smartphone industry. It’s hard not to reminisce about the beauty and elegance of the Galaxy S6 Edge, a device that set a high standard for smartphone aesthetics and innovation.
This is some serious firepower
Since Samsung showcased a demo unit at its Unpacked event earlier this year, I have found myself feeling quite skeptical about the device. I can’t help but wonder what compromises Samsung may have made to achieve such a remarkably thin design. Additionally, I question whether it will be competitive enough to fit seamlessly within the main Galaxy S25 series lineup.
However, it appears that the Galaxy S25 Edge is set to be a premium smartphone, comparable to the iPhone 16. This suggests that it will feature flagship-level hardware, including a dual-camera system. In a now-removed video, there was a reference to the Adreno 830, which is the graphics processing unit that Qualcomm pairs with its top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset.
This particular chipset is the same one that powers the entire Galaxy S25 series, as well as a variety of other high-end Android devices, including the OnePlus 13, iQoo 13, and Red Magic 10 Pro. The video also indicated that the upcoming phone would come equipped with 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage, specifications that align well with those of the Galaxy S25.
Initially, I had some reservations about whether Samsung would opt for a lower-end processor in the Galaxy S25 Edge to prevent battery drain and avoid overheating issues. However, it seems that Samsung has successfully addressed both of these concerns.
If the details provided in the leaked video are anything to go by, it appears that the upcoming slim smartphone will be equipped with a 4,000 mAh battery, which conveniently matches the capacity of the Galaxy S25. Based on my personal experience with the Galaxy S25 thus far, I have found it to be quite reliable, as I have been able to use the device throughout an entire day without the need to recharge, despite the fact that its battery is relatively small compared to other models on the market. Therefore, I have high expectations that the Galaxy S25 Edge will perform just as well, if not better, in terms of battery life.
The most notable difference between the Galaxy S25 and the S25 Edge will likely be found in their imaging hardware. Unlike the standard Galaxy S25 and its Plus variant, both of which come equipped with a total of three cameras, the Edge model is expected to feature a more streamlined setup with only two cameras.
According to the most recent leak, we can anticipate that the primary camera sensor will capture images at a resolution of 12 megapixels. However, it is important to note that this may not accurately represent the actual resolution of the camera sensor itself, as the AIDA 64 app displays the default image resolution in a pixel-binned format rather than providing the precise specifications of the sensor.
In fact, a 50-megapixel or even a 48-megapixel sensor has the capability to produce images at a 12-megapixel resolution by utilizing advanced 4-in-1 pixel-binning technology. In summary, while there is a possibility that the Galaxy S25 Edge will indeed feature a 12-megapixel primary camera, it is also quite plausible that it could be equipped with a more advanced 50-megapixel sensor, similar to what is found in the standard Galaxy S25, thereby enhancing its photographic capabilities.
Prepare thy wallet, Galaxy warrior
The Galaxy S25 Edge is emerging as a leading Android flagship device that meets the standards expected in 2025. This development brings both positive and negative implications. For those who have been longing for a sleek and slim smartphone that does not compromise on essential features such as performance, camera quality, or battery life, this model represents the pinnacle of what Android will offer in 2025.
However, on the downside, it is anticipated that the price point will be quite high. This is not solely due to the fact that its internal components are largely comparable to those found in the standard Galaxy S25, but also because of other factors that contribute to its overall value.
The South Korean electronics giant, known for its innovative technology and sleek designs, is reportedly exploring the possibility of utilizing a ceramic glass material for the rear shell of the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge. Taking into account all the information that has emerged from various leaks and rumors surrounding this device, it appears that the pricing for the Galaxy S25 Edge could be set at approximately $800, with some estimates suggesting that it might even exceed that figure.
This speculation regarding the price point is certainly not without historical precedent, as we can look back to 2015 when Samsung launched the Galaxy A8, which was touted as the company’s slimmest smartphone at that time. However, it is important to note that the Galaxy A8 did not come equipped with the flagship features that many consumers have come to expect from Samsung’s premium devices, which raises questions about how the Galaxy S25 Edge will balance its design and performance in comparison.
