Samsung has announced the launch date for its new slim and lightweight smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Edge.

The official announcement is set for May 13, confirming earlier leaks about the date.

- 1 a.m. in London
- 8 p.m. on May 12 in New York

Instead of hosting multiple regional events, Samsung has opted for a single online presentation.
design and Camera Features
Samsung has shared glimpses of the phone's design through various teasers and leaks leading up to its release. The company emphasizes that the Galaxy S25 Edge will feature “pro-grade capabilities” aimed at helping users capture their surroundings effortlessly. Notably, it will include a remarkable 200MP main camera, matching that of the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
Additionally, Samsung mentions that this camera can transform into a “smart lens,” which may help identify vital elements for creating lasting memories. It remains unclear if this refers to existing technologies from Google or if it is an exclusive feature developed by Samsung itself; more details are expected during next week's launch.
Specifications Overview
Recent leaks have provided insight into some key specifications of the Galaxy S25 Edge:
- An overclocked Qualcomm Snapdragon Elite processor
- Approximately 3,900mAh battery capacity
- A vibrant 6.7-inch AMOLED display
- Possible use of ceramics and titanium materials in its construction
The phone is also rumored to come in three color options and include a secondary ultrawide camera wiht a resolution of 50MP; however, there won't be any telephoto lens included.
pricing Insights
With an estimated starting price around $1,300,the Galaxy S25 Edge could potentially surpass pricing for other models like the Ultra version within Samsung's lineup. Despite being designed as an ultra-slim device, it might not hold onto that title for long; expectations suggest that another model—the Galaxy Z Fold 7—could claim that distinction later this year.
as excitement builds ahead of its release on May 13th at an online event hosted by Samsung from Korea at dawn local time (or late evening on May 12th across North America), tech enthusiasts are eager to see how well these features perform once they get their hands on them.
