Samsung might have introduced three Galaxy telephones at present, together with the Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Extremely, however that didn’t cease the corporate from teasing a fourth. Alongside detailed specs of the brand new lineup arriving on Feb. 7, Samsung additionally hinted at a extra mysterious future cellphone referred to as the Galaxy S25 Edge.
This announcement got here in the direction of the tail finish of Samsung’s Unpacked occasion, and didn’t give viewers way more to work off of than a reputation and a few renders. From the appears to be like of it, although, the Edge appears to be a thinner model of the Galaxy S25, with a twin lens digicam bump swapped in to assist accommodate the smaller physique.

That may coincide with rumors that Apple can be engaged on an iPhone Air, which have been shared by respected sources together with provide chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo and Bloomberg tech reporter Mark Gurman.
Assuming these rumors are true, the iPhone Air and the Galaxy Edge each releasing back-to-back would appear to level in the direction of an upcoming shift in the direction of thinner telephones, which may doubtlessly persuade customers to improve their handsets within the face of flagging curiosity in foldable telephones and more and more iterative updates on the usual format.
In line with Android Authority, which spoke with a Samsung South Africa consultant, the Edge will certainly come to South Korea and the US when it launches sooner or later sooner or later, however it might take a while to succeed in the remainder of the world.

As for what sort of specs to anticipate, Samsung president of cell gadgets TM Roh informed Bloomberg that, “The Edge will use among the similar applied sciences as the brand new Extremely mannequin, however match them inside a slimmed-down design.” Given what appears to be like to be a much-reduced digicam capability, I’m a little bit skeptical of that, however possibly the Edge actually will beat out the bottom S25.
With that form of energy in such a small kind issue, although, I’d positively anticipate a heftier price ticket (the bottom S25 begins at $800), though that’s nonetheless beneath wraps for now. Its launch date can be nonetheless up within the air, no less than formally, however Gurman posted on X to anticipate the cellphone “within the first half of this yr.”
