Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge teaser put a bow on an otherwise 'slim' Unpacked
by Will Sattelberg · Android PoliceSummary
- Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge is the company's rumored slim phone, originally thought to be called the Galaxy S25 Slim.
- Samsung ended its Unpacked keynote with a tease for a fourth model, the Galaxy S25 Edge.
- It's launching sometime later this year, but other details are scarce. We may see it in May, if rumors are correct.
The Galaxy S25 trio is barely an hour old, but you can already consider them yesterday's news. While it's just the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra that filled the bulk of today's Unpacked in San Jose, Samsung's quiet promise of a fourth model hinted at by the company's initial invite has come true. The Galaxy S25 Slim is real. It's called the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it's in the works for some undisclosed later date.
We've seen the phone briefly at Unpacked, but we weren't able to touch the device and we know very little about the phone. Above and below you can see a few shots of the phone on display at Unpacked, and it's looking almighty slim like the rumors have been suggesting.
The Galaxy S25 'Slim' is real — and it's called the Galaxy S25 Edge
After months of rumors and leaks — including a set of renders published by OnLeaks just last week — we're finally learning more about Samsung's plans for a thinner, presumably lighter Galaxy S25. Samsung's tease was almost exclusively made up of device teardown images, meaning we don't have much to go off when it comes to actual details. It is the first time Samsung has made an Edge-branded phone since the Galaxy S7 Edge in 2016. Those phones were all about displays on the edge of a device, and it appears Samsung is just resurrecting the branding here as a way to distinguish its new slimline phone.
While this definitely looks like a Galaxy S25-styled device, there were some big changes. Only two cameras on the back is the biggest change — not the three we expected from OnLeaks' renders. It was, frankly, difficult to get a good glimpse at the phone, as the entire place was packed, but it does seem slimmer than the trio of devices I've tried out during this launch. We also don't totally know when this thing is coming, though rumors have pegged a May release. Could Samsung make some kind of appearance at Google's annual I/O developer's conference? Could the usual summer slot for Unpacked happen in the spring? Only time will tell.
Until the Galaxy S25 Edge arrives later this year, you can, of course, get your first experience with One UI 7 by picking up one of Samsung's other three smartphones announced today. Just keep in mind, they won't be quite as svelte.
Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra
Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra leaves the Note-like design behind for the very first time. With flat edges, curved corners, and a massive 6.9-inch display, this is a modern flagship through and through — and yes, that S Pen is still here too.
Samsung Galaxy S25+
Samsung's Galaxy S25+ finds just the right middle ground between its two siblings. With a 6.7-inch display, up to 512GB of storage, and 12GB of RAM, this smartphone includes practically everything you could ask for in the modern AI age, without driving up the price.
Samsung Galaxy S25
Samsung's Galaxy S25 keeps things small without sacrificing power. With a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, 12GB of RAM, and all sorts of tools courtesy of Galaxy AI, this is everything you expect from a modern flagship squeezed into a relatively svelte chassis.
