Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Features and Specs
Samsung has teased the Galaxy S25 Edge for some time now, with its official release scheduled for May 13. This model is anticipated to be among the thinnest smartphones available.
Recent photos from WinFuture highlight its slim profile, likely measuring just 5.85 millimeters thick. The phone will feature a vibrant 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a resolution of 3120 x 1440 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 120 Hertz.
On the back, users can expect a dual-camera setup arranged vertically. This includes a powerful 200MP main sensor designed for high-quality photos alongside a secondary ultra-wide lens at 12MP. For selfies and video calls, there will be another front-facing camera also at 12MP.
Powering this device will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, promising smooth operation and effective multitasking capabilities. It will come equipped with either 256GB or 512GB of storage along with an impressive RAM capacity of 12GB.

Now let’s shift our focus to the iPhone 17 Air.According to recent rumors, this model may measure around just 5.5mm in thickness while featuring a 6.6-inch LTPO display powered by Apple's upcoming A19 chipset.
Unlike its Samsung counterpart that boasts two rear cameras, the iPhone will have only one rear camera positioned horizontally on its back—similar in style to what we see on Google Pixel devices like Pixel 9.
