Samsung is pushing boundaries once again with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, set to debut globally on May 13, 2025. As the thinnest Galaxy flagship ever, the S25 Edge balances style and innovation, packing a powerhouse of performance into a body thinner than most mid-range smartphones.
With top-of-the-line specs, a 200MP camera, and a 5.85mm ultra-slim design, the Galaxy S25 Edge is not just another refresh—it’s a declaration of where mobile technology is headed.
🔍 Design: Thinner, Lighter, Stronger
Samsung has outdone itself with a titanium frame, combining strength with lightness. At just 5.85mm thick and 163g in weight, the S25 Edge is among the most portable flagship phones ever released. Despite its razor-thin build, Samsung hasn’t compromised durability—Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the rear provide next-level drop and scratch resistance.
The edge-to-edge AMOLED display gently curves over the sides, eliminating bezel clutter and immersing users in a seamless viewing experience. This curved-edge design isn’t just aesthetic; it serves functional enhancements like gesture shortcuts and notification previews.
📱 Display: Immersive and Intuitive
The Galaxy S25 Edge features a 6.7-inch Quad HD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 3120 x 1440 resolution and 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, offering buttery-smooth scrolling and ultra-clear visuals.
The screen also includes Vision Booster 2.0, enhancing brightness up to 2200 nits for outdoor visibility, and Eye Comfort Shield to reduce blue light strain. It’s the perfect companion for gamers, creatives, or Netflix bingers who need clarity, color, and comfort.
📸 Camera System: The 200MP Marvel
The headline feature is undoubtedly the 200MP f/1.7 main rear camera, powered by Samsung’s ISOCELL HP4 sensor and advanced AI image processing. Whether you’re capturing landscapes or zooming into fine textures, the S25 Edge delivers unmatched detail.
Accompanying the main camera is a:
- 12MP ultra-wide camera (120° FoV)
- 10MP telephoto lens with 3x optical zoom and 30x digital zoom
- 12MP front-facing camera with autofocus and night selfie enhancements
Features include:

🔋 Battery and Charging: Smarter Energy Management
