Samsung is set to formally unveil the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge during a virtual Unpacked event scheduled for Monday, May 12th at 8 PM ET. This announcement significantly addresses one of the many questions surrounding Samsung’s upcoming slim phone, which was first teased back in January. According to a recent blog post accompanying today’s announcement, there are a few intriguing details revealed, but for comprehensive insights, enthusiasts will need to tune in on Monday.
Samsung is being quite transparent about its upcoming release, explicitly confirming that the product is indeed the Galaxy S25 Edge. The blog post boldly states that this device “not only sets a new standard for what you can achieve with your smartphone, but it also unlocks a new era of growth for the mobile industry.” This is particularly promising news for an industry currently grappling with declining sales over the past few years.
One standout feature highlighted in the blog post is the impressive 200-megapixel main camera, which the Galaxy S25 Edge will share with the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra. This suggests that the S25 Edge will be positioned as a more premium offering compared to Apple’s rumored slim phone, the iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to feature a single rear camera along with a mix of high and low-end specifications.
According to Samsung, the Galaxy S25 Edge will seamlessly merge “flagship-level performance with superior portability.” This combination is expected to resonate well with tech enthusiasts looking for a device that balances high performance with a slim and sleek design.
With such remarkable features, many are left wondering about the price point of this flagship-level slim phone. Additionally, there have been recent rumors regarding a potential delay in its launch in the US market. However, it wouldn’t be surprising if the phone makes its debut first in Korea. Encouragingly, Samsung US is currently offering a $50 credit for those who reserve the phone in advance, which is a good indication of its upcoming availability.
As the countdown to the virtual event continues, one thing remains certain: we won’t have to wait much longer for answers. The Galaxy S25 Edge virtual Unpacked event will be streamed across various platforms, including Samsung’s official YouTube channel, allowing fans worldwide to witness the unveiling of this exciting new device.
