The fourth member of the Galaxy S25 family, the Galaxy S25 Edge, is finally said to have a launch date, as a report claims that Samsung will make the announcement official next month. The only drawback to the arrival of the upcoming ultra-thin premium smartphone is that not all regions will be able to appreciate the effort it took to ‘slim’ down the flagship, because the company only has three target markets for this device. Then again, Samsung’s plans could change depending on how well-received the Galaxy S25 Edge is in those countries.
Only South Korea, the U.S. and China will be treated to the Galaxy S25 Edge, with its price set between the Galaxy S25 Plus and Galaxy S25 Ultra
A report from Fnnews that was spotted by @Jukanlosreve mentioned May 13 as the Galaxy S25 Edge’s launch date. An unnamed industry source stated that Samsung will hold a ‘Galaxy Unpacked’ event at the aforementioned date, where various specification details, colors and prices of the upcoming handset are expected to be a part of the announcement. What is interesting is that Samsung will host an entire event just for a single product launch, but there is also the possibility that the Korean giant will livestream it, since it does not make much sense to introduce just a single device.
Shortly after the May 13 announcement, pre-orders of the Galaxy S25 Edge will commence on May 14 and conclude on May 20, with the ultra-slim flagship expected to be available in South Korea and China first. Shortly after, the smartphone is scheduled to arrive in the U.S., but there is no word on whether the Galaxy S25 Edge will be sold officially in other markets. According to a previous estimate, Samsung’s initial production target was a mere 40,000 units, but this figure could just be to gauge how the three markets respond to the launch.
Assuming the Galaxy S25 Edge picks up in popularity, Samsung could ask its supply chain to pick up the production pace. Fortunately, those who are contemplating making this sleek flagship their daily driver, a deleted hands-on video in the form of YouTube Shorts was published, showing the Galaxy S25 Edge’s thickness and partial specifications, so you can check out those details if you want to be slightly informed about this particular model.
