Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Specs, Features, Price, Release Date

I've been reviewing smartphones for a decade, and it's rare for a new device to wow me. But that was the only word that came out of my mouth after I picked up Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge. This is the company's ultra-thin smartphone, and it's shockingly lean and lightweight.

Samsung unraveled the full details about the Edge today through a virtual Galaxy Unpacked event, after first teasing the device during the launch of the Galaxy S25 series in January. Preorders are also live, starting at $1,100, with official sales kicking off on May 30. That puts the Galaxy S25 Edge at $100 more than the Galaxy S25+ and $200 less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Here's everything you need to know.

Bleeding Edge

Samsung says it's been wanting to make an ultrathin phone for some time, but it's only now able to achieve this feat without compromising on core features. Various phone makers over the years have dabbled in this space to earn the title of “World's Thinnest Phone”—even earlier this year, we saw a concept device from Tecno that claimed to be a mere 5.75 mm thick.

The Galaxy S25 Edge comes very close, measuring 5.8 mm and weighing just 163 grams. For context, the iPhone 16 is 7.8 mm thick and weighs 170 grams—the difference might not sound like much, but remember that the iPhone 16 has a 6.1-inch screen; the Edge has a 6.7-inch display, so you're getting far more screen. Compared to the same-sized Galaxy S25+, the Edge is 1.5 mm thinner and 27 grams lighter.

It's hard to convey how impressively lightweight and thin it feels without trying it yourself. And you can—Samsung says the Edge will be paired with a new, lighter security bracket at retailers like Best Buy and carrier stores, so interested buyers can get a better sense of the phone without a bulky thing in the way.
