Samsung Unveils Ultra-Slim Galaxy S25 Edge with AI-Powered 200MP Camera

How to pre-order the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

The slim smartphone starts at $1,100 and ships May 30, with pre-orders open now. The super slim Galaxy S25 Edge, which Samsung teased at the tail end of its January Unpacked event, has been officially revealed. During tonight's Unpacked, we got full specs, pricing and shipping dates for Samsung's latest phone, as well as a chance to put our hands on the new handset. Pricing is set at $1,100 for 256GB of storage or $1,220 for the 512GB model and the phones ship May 30. Pre-orders are open at Amazon, Best Buy and directly from Samsung, which is offering a $50 pre-order store credit and a no-charge upgrade to the 512GB model. The Edge's headline features include its thin build and AI-supported photography chops -- both of which we'd suspected from various leaks, only to have the rumors confirmed by Samsung's own press release last week. And indeed, when Engadget's Mat Smith got his hands on an Edge, he immediately felt how much lighter the device was -- yet, he noted, it still felt premium. We now know for sure that the Galaxy S25 Edge has a 6.7-inch screen but measures just 5.8mm (0.22 inches) thick. That's slightly less surface area than the 6.9-inch Ultra, but a full 2.4mm thinner. It weighs 163 grams, nearly the same as the standard Galaxy S25, but the Edge measures more than 10mm taller and 5mm wider than its base-model sibling. To shave off the grams and trim the width, Samsung developed a broader yet slimmer vapor chamber and a new Thermal Interface Material (TIM) for better heat dissipation. It uses Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front display. It's the first phone to use the material, which Corning says offers "enhanced drop performance on rough surfaces," allowing for a thinner glass layer. The frame is made from titanium, like the Ultra model, a material many phone manufactures have put in higher-end models for its lightweight strength. As for camera power, the Edge has the same 200MP sensor as the S25 Ultra, which Samsung claims captures 40 percent brighter images in low light situations compared with the standard S25. There's also a 12MP ultra-wide lens and a 12MP selfie cam up front. Those two rear cameras do protrude noticeably from the thin frame of the phone, but Mat was impressed how well-balanced the phone felt -- it's not lopsided at all. Of course, the phone also packs plenty of AI-powered tricks, including Pro Scaler, Audio Eraser and Drawing Assist. To support all the AI, Samsung is using the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chip as the other S25 phones and comes with 12GB of memory and either 256 or 512GB of storage. It packs a 3,900mAh battery, which is smaller than both the 4,000mAh one found in the standard S25 and the 5,000mAH power supply in the Ultra. Though Samsung claims the Edge can run for 24 hours on a charge. You can get the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge in three color options: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jet Black, and Titanium Icy Blue. Samsung is promising seven years of security and software updates. We only spent a short time with the phone so far and our full review will be out shortly.

Samsung reveals Galaxy S25 Edge details ahead of launch

The invites are sent, the date is set, Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is (finally) coming. Credit: Samsung Samsung is being unusually open about its next major device launch. Yesterday, the company sent invites to members of the media for its next Samsung Unpacked event, which is taking place on Monday, May 12 at 8 p.m. ET. With the tagline "Beyond slim" featured on the invite, it was quite clear that we're going to see the company's previously teased, super-slim Galaxy S25 Edge phone. In a press release, Samsung put an end to speculation (not that there was much to speculate about, given how thoroughly leaked this phone has been). Yes, we'll see the new Galaxy S25 Edge on Monday. According to Samsung, it's "both a powerful AI companion and an engineering marvel, merging flagship-level performance with superior portability." The company stopped short of sharing actual specs, but did say that the phone will come with a 200-megapixel main camera. There's also a (surprise!) heavy emphasis on AI, which will be helping users capture, edit, and share that perfect photo, as well as offer info about the world around you through the camera lens. As for that slim design, Samsung says that "every curve, contour and component reflects a breakthrough in precise engineering to create a premium experience worthy of the S series name." I've actually seen the phone in the flesh (though Samsung did not allow touching), as the company brought it to this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It's...eh, pretty thin, but don't expect miracles, and that camera bump is pretty hefty, too. To watch the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge reveal stream on Monday, tune into Samsung's YouTube channel.

Samsung Teases Ultra-Thin 200MP Galaxy S25 Edge Smartphone

Samsung is the latest in a lengthy list of companies to release teaser videos for upcoming products. Like Sony's newest teaser, Samsung is preparing to unveil a new smartphone -- the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Unlike a typical teaser, Samsung has already spilled quite a few beans. The Galaxy S25 Edge has been a semi-known commodity since Samsung announced the Galaxy S25 series smartphones in January, including the impressive flagship Galaxy S25 Ultra. At that time, Samsung said it was working on an ultra-thin smartphone, and about four months later, it is nearly here. "Over the last decade, smartphones have undergone a remarkable transformation -- becoming more powerful and intelligent than ever before. As the advent of mobile AI has raised the bar for what these devices can achieve, so have our expectations for peak performance," Samsung explains. "Integrating AI has fundamentally reshaped mobile experiences, turning smartphones from convenient tools into indispensable companions for connection, creativity and productivity. As our reliance on these devices grows, so do our expectations for them to be portable and lightweight without sacrificing power and innovation." The company promises its upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge will be a "powerful AI companion and an engineering marvel," combining flagship-level performance and extreme portability. However, the Korean tech giant adds that the S25 Edge is "more than a slim smartphone." The company ambitiously promises its new phone will set a new standard for what users can achieve with their smartphone and that the handheld will "unlock a new era of growth for the mobile industry." These are a lot of lofty claims. On the photography side of things, despite its slim form, the Galaxy S25 Edge will retain the Galaxy S25 series' 200-megapixel wide-angle lens. Samsung says the ultra-slim phone "continues Galaxy's iconic camera experience" and delivers "pro-grade capabilities to intuitively capture the world around you." It's an extremely safe bet that the Galaxy S25 Edge will rely heavily upon artificial intelligence throughout the user experience, including its photo and video capabilities. It is also a reasonable assumption that, while the Galaxy S25 Edge sports a 200-megapixel main camera, it will come with some compromise concerning its imaging system. By making a phone ultra-thin, compromises must be made concerning the camera system. There is only so much space for lenses inside a super-thin phone. Samsung is also beating Apple to the ultra-thin smartphone punch. Apple is expected to release an ultra-thin "iPhone Air" sometime this year. It will be fascinating to see how the Galaxy S25 Edge compares to the rumored iPhone Air. Samsung will announce the Galaxy S25 Edge on May 13 at 9 AM KST (May 12 at 8 PM EDT). At that time, all the details will be revealed, including the phone's complete camera system and features.

Samsung launches slimmest smartphone as races against rival Apple

Analysts said the launch was strategically timed to pre-empt Apple, which is expected to launch a thinner iPhone in the second half of this year. The S25 Edge will go on sale in South Korea on May 23 and in the United States on May 30, Samsung said, adding it will roll it out to about 30 countries, including China and in Europe.Samsung Electronics made public on Tuesday its slimmest flagship model to date, complete with enhanced artificial intelligence features, as it seeks to get ahead of rival Apple in the premium market. The S25 Edge launch is designed to tap increasing demand, especially from consumers in their 20s and 30s, for more portable smartphones. "The feedback was clear - users wanted something slimmer and easier to carry without sacrificing performance," said Samsung, which made structural changes to reduce the thickness of internal components, including the printed circuit board and thermal systems. Analysts said the launch was strategically timed to pre-empt Apple, which is expected to launch a thinner iPhone in the second half of this year. "By releasing the product a few months ahead, Samsung could inflict some impact on Apple and attract consumers looking for thinner smartphones. It appears to be a calculated decision to capture that segment of demand," Ryu Young-ho, a senior analyst at NH Investment & Securities, said. The S25 Edge will go on sale in South Korea on May 23 and in the United States on May 30, Samsung said, adding it will roll it out to about 30 countries, including China and in Europe. Starting at $1,099, the model has a 6.7-inch (170 mm) screen and a 5.8 millimetre-thick body, making it larger than the basic S25 model but only fractionally heavier. The S25 Edge has Samsung's latest built-in AI functions, including multimodal AI that allows users to interact with the device in real time through vision and voice, using the camera to ask questions. Samsung did not disclose the production site for the new model. At the launch event, Samsung dismissed concerns about potential performance and heat management issues with the device. "Some may worry that a thinner phone compromises performance or struggles with heat management," said Samsung Electronics Executive Vice President Moon Sung-hoon. "We managed to engineer a thinner vapor chamber to fit the slim design, and we put everything into making that happen. We're confident the S25 Edge can be used without concerns about overheating," said Moon. Samsung became the world's leading smartphone vendor in the first quarter of 2025, capturing 20% of the global market and narrowly surpassing Apple, which held a 19% share, data from Counterpoint Research showed. Samsung last month, however, said second-quarter shipments could be affected if tariff risks weaken demand.

The smartphone does not yet have a disclosed production site. Samsung regained its position as the world's top smartphone maker in Q1 2025, narrowly surpassing Apple with a 20% global market share, according to Counterpoint Research. However, the company has warned that second-quarter shipments could face challenges due to potential tariff-related demand risks.

Who has the edge: Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge or iPhone Air? Here's the breakdown

Samsung has introduced the Galaxy S25 Edge, its slimmest phone to date, challenging Apple's anticipated iPhone Air. The S25 Edge boasts a 5.8mm thickness, a 200MP primary camera with AI-powered zoom, and the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. It also features Samsung's Galaxy AI platform and Gemini services, aiming to attract customers with its lightweight design and advanced features.Samsung recently unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge, its thinnest phone to date. With a sleek profile, powerful AI features, and top-tier camera tech, it's clear Samsung is targeting Apple's rumoured "iPhone Air" months before its release. Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge is going to give tough competition to Apple's anticipated iPhone Air. With its refined design and advanced camera technology, Samsung is clearly setting the standard. Only a few months before Apple (AAPL) is anticipated to release its own ultrathin phone, Samsung on Monday unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge. With a 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X display and two rear cameras, the S25 Edge is lighter and thinner than Samsung's and Apple's current phones. Samsung claims that the thickness of the S25 Edge is 5.8 millimetres (0.22 inches). Samsung's S25+ and S25 Ultra are 0.28 and 0.32 inches thick, respectively, while Apple's iPhone Pro and Pro Max are both 0.32 inches thick, as per a report. The iPhone Air will remove roughly 2 millimetres from the iPhone's frame, making it 6.2 millimetres, or 0.24 inches, thicker than the S25 Edge, according to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg. ALSO READ: What was Steven Seagal doing at Vladimir Putin's big Victory Day celebration? Here's what reports are saying On paper, a few millimetres might not seem like much, but in practice, they make a significant difference. You'll also almost forget you're carrying the phone with you, whether you're working hard at the office or relaxing at home, because of the S25 Edge's lightweight design, as per a report. It weighs only 5.7 ounces, compared to 7 ounces for the iPhone 16 Pro and 7.9 ounces for the Pro Max. Convincing customers to upgrade their devices can usually be accomplished through hardware changes like thinner phones, better screens, or new cameras. The Qualcomm (QCOM) Snapdragon 8 Elite processor that powers the Galaxy S25 lineup is also found inside the S25 Edge. Along with your choice of 256GB or 512GB of storage, you also get 12GB of RAM. With starting prices of $999 and $1,299, respectively, the company's S25+ and S25 Ultra come with three cameras, including a telephoto camera. But according to Samsung, the S25 Edge's 200MP primary camera has a "optical-like" 2x zoom that can be increased to 10x using AI technologies. The ultrawide camera now has autofocus, allowing you to take macrophotography images, such as intricate close-ups of flowers. Samsung asserts that some cooling and power delivery techniques will allow you to have all-day battery life even with the S25 Edge's thin design. Samsung's Galaxy AI platform, which includes AI agents and Samsung's Now Brief and Now Bar, which offer AI-curated reminders, news updates, and commuter information, is also included with the S25 Edge. Samsung's Gemini services, such as Gemini Live, which can tell you what you're looking at on your screen or through your phone's camera, are included with the S25 Edge, which runs Google's Android 15 software. It is available for preorder for $1,099 and will go on sale on May 30. How does the Galaxy S25 Edge differ from other Samsung phones? It's Samsung's thinnest and lightest phone yet, with high-end specs and new AI capabilities. Does the S25 Edge have good cameras? Yes, it has a 200 MP main camera and a 12 MP ultra-wide lens with AI-powered zoom capabilities.

Thinner than a credit card: Samsung's S25 Edge raises the stakes before Apple's 'iPhone Air' can take flight

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge, now available for preorder, is the brand's thinnest and lightest flagship yet debuting just months before Apple's rumored ultra-slim iPhone Air. With a 5.8mm frame, powerful AI tools, and a 200MP camera, it challenges Apple's dominance in premium minimalist smartphone designSamsung's Galaxy S25 Edge is already turning heads in the tech world not for wild gimmicks or foldable tricks, but for its sheer thinness. At just 5.8 millimeters thick, it's sleeker than anything Apple currently offers and even thinner than the upcoming iPhone Air, which is expected to launch this fall at approximately 6.2 millimeters. Despite its slim frame, the S25 Edge doesn't skimp on features. It packs a 6.7-inch AMOLED 2X display, a Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, 12GB of RAM, and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. The phone weighs just 5.7 ounces, making it one of the lightest premium phones available today. Samsung is betting big on AI-powered features this year, including its Galaxy AI suite, real-time suggestions through Now Bar and Now Brief, and integrated Google Gemini AI, which can offer live insights through your camera or screen. The upcoming iPhone Air, according to leaks from Mark Gurman and other trusted insiders, will focus on shaving 2mm off the iPhone's thickness, potentially launching as Apple's thinnest phone ever. But even if it hits that mark, it will still be 0.4mm thicker than the S25 Edge. Apple is expected to bring its A18 Pro chip, upgraded AI tools through iOS 18, and modest camera upgrades. Still, early specs point to a 48MP main camera, likely far behind Samsung's 200MP sensor that uses AI-enhanced zoom to simulate a dedicated telephoto lens. In real-world terms, the S25 Edge may not just be thinner, it might also feel faster, lighter, and more futuristic, thanks to its streamlined Android 15 interface and seamless AI integrations.

The camera also includes AI-powered editing tools like Audio Eraser and Drawing Assist, which were brought over from the Galaxy S25 series to enhance user creativity. The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform, which supports AI processing and ensures smooth performance throughout the day. Samsung has also introduced a reconfigured vapor chamber, which is now thinner but broader, for improved heat dissipation during extended usage. The ProScaler feature provides a 40% improvement in display image scaling, while Samsung's mDNIe engine optimizes visuals for better clarity and accuracy. The Galaxy S25 Edge integrates Galaxy AI across multiple apps to improve user experience. AI agents assist in managing tasks like scheduling and reminders through features such as Brief and Now Bar, which offer app integration and notifications for daily routines. Additionally, the device benefits from Google's Gemini Live for enhanced camera and screen-sharing abilities, while ensuring that all personal data is processed securely via Samsung Knox Vault.

Samsung launches its slimmest smartphone yet, the S25 Edge

Analysts said the launch was strategically timed to pre-empt Apple, which is expected to launch a thinner iPhone in the second half of this year A Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone displayed during a media preview in New York. (Credit: Getty Images) Samsung Electronics made public on Tuesday its slimmest flagship model to date, complete with enhanced artificial intelligence features, as it seeks to get ahead of rival Apple in the premium market. The S25 Edge launch is designed to tap increasing demand, especially from consumers in their 20s and 30s, for more portable smartphones. "The feedback was clear - users wanted something slimmer and easier to carry without sacrificing performance," said Samsung, which made structural changes to reduce the thickness of internal components, including the printed circuit board and thermal systems. Analysts said the launch was strategically timed to pre-empt Apple, which is expected to launch a thinner iPhone in the second half of this year. "By releasing the product a few months ahead, Samsung could inflict some impact on Apple and attract consumers looking for thinner smartphones. It appears to be a calculated decision to capture that segment of demand," Ryu Young-ho, a senior analyst at NH Investment & Securities, said. The S25 Edge will go on sale in South Korea on May 23 and in the United States on May 30, Samsung said, adding it will roll it out to about 30 countries, including China and in Europe. Starting at $1,099, the model has a 6.7-inch (170 mm) screen and a 5.8 millimetre-thick body, making it larger than the basic S25 model but only fractionally heavier. The S25 Edge has Samsung's latest built-in AI functions, including multimodal AI that allows users to interact with the device in real time through vision and voice, using the camera to ask questions. Samsung did not disclose the production site for the new model. At the launch event, Samsung dismissed concerns about potential performance and heat management issues with the device. "Some may worry that a thinner phone compromises performance or struggles with heat management," said Samsung Electronics Executive Vice President Moon Sung-hoon. "We managed to engineer a thinner vapor chamber to fit the slim design, and we put everything into making that happen. We're confident the S25 Edge can be used without concerns about overheating," said Moon. Samsung became the world's leading smartphone vendor in the first quarter of 2025, capturing 20 per cent of the global market and narrowly surpassing Apple, which held a 19 per cent share, data from Counterpoint Research showed. Samsung last month, however, said second-quarter shipments could be affected if tariff risks weaken demand.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge unveiled with 5.8mm body, Snapdragon 8 Elite and 200MP camera

Samsung has finally lifted the curtain on the Galaxy S25 Edge, the newest addition to its flagship S series, which was first teased during the Galaxy Unpacked held in January. The S25 Edge makes an immediate impression with its slim and light profile. At just 5.8mm thick and weighing 163 grams, it is Samsung's slimmest Galaxy S phone to date. The S25 Edge's design hallmark is its titanium frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 protection, which Samsung says offers improved durability over previous generations. It also carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. This engineering feat, however, comes with some inevitable trade-offs, most notably, a relatively modest 3,900mAh battery. Samsung claims up to 55% charge in about 30 minutes using a 25W adapter, though, as has become standard, that charger is sold separately. It also supports 15W wireless charging. The Galaxy S25 Edge features a 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel that has a variable refresh rate of 1-120Hz and supports HDR10+. The Galaxy S25 Edge is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, paired with 12GB of RAM and 256GB or 512GB of storage. The titanium frame houses a redesigned vapour chamber that Samsung claims efficiently dissipates heat to compensate for thermal limitations introduced by the slim chassis. The S25 Edge features a 200MP main camera with f/1.7 aperture and OIS, offering what Samsung calls "2x optical quality zoom," along with a 12MP ultrawide lens with autofocus and macro capabilities. A 12MP front-facing camera handles selfie duties. The camera system leans heavily on Samsung's ProVisual Engine and AI-based enhancements for low-light photography and skin tone rendering, which it has inherited from the broader Galaxy S25 family. The Galaxy S25 Edge runs Android 15 with One UI 7, and AI capabilities, which mirror those found in the broader Galaxy S25 lineup, like Audio Eraser and Drawing Assist. It now spans multimodal assistance across apps, camera-based interactions via Google's Gemini Live, and real-time reminders through context-aware widgets like Now Brief and Now Bar. Much of this AI runs on-device, secured by Samsung Knox Vault. With its ultra-thin form factor and flagship pricing, the Galaxy S25 Edge enters a tricky balancing act: it's a statement of engineering finesse, but one that users will judge based on how well it performs in day-to-day life, especially when pushed under sustained workloads or used for high-end content creation. The Galaxy S25 Edge will be available in Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue. It is priced at $1,099 and will go on sale from May 23. Indian pricing and availability details are expected to be revealed soon, so stay tuned.
