Calm down everyone, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is just a thin phone

I’m not sure where the shockwaves from yesterday’s Samsung Galaxy came from. But the crowd went wild when Samsung announced it was making the Galaxy S25 Edge in the last few seconds of the event, though there’s nothing concrete to entice us yet. The phone that Samsung showed off in the demo area after the keynote were just glossy panels hanging on hooks to show off its relative slenderness to its sister devices.

The Galaxy S25 Edge started as Galaxy S25 Slim In the rumor mill. Late last year, we heard reports that Samsung was going to shake it up Their product assortment, similar to what Bloomberg The store has been reported to The upcoming iPhone 17. then, Android Authority I learned from a Samsung representative in South Africa that a slim model will be part of this generation’s Galaxy lineup.

now Since we know it exists in some capacity, this will likely be the year we reach peak phone thin. But that’s all it is: a thin slice of metal and glass stuck together on a logic board that houses all the components and stuff. Places like Gsmarena already have it to set to Galaxy S25 Edge, claiming it will have the same camera system as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, sans additional macro lenses, and an IP68 dust and water rating. This is to remind you that we don’t know anything about anything from Samsung until the company officially reveals it.

Samsung used the keyword to get ahead of everyone else with its smart ring, Galaxy ring. This year, instead of focusing on teasing Moohan’s project based on Android XRis betting on her longtime fans to come out for the brand. The “Edge” moniker is a throwback to when Samsung introduced The Galaxy Note Edge 11 years ago. It had a slope in the screen on one side, which served as a small working area for notifications. I didn’t like it when I checked the device for the port I was in, But Gizmodo did.

This whole thing seems like a marketing ploy based on the latest rumors about the iPhone 17 Air, or whatever it will be called. A thinner phone for Samsung would help the company make another giant marketing statement about where it outperforms the iPhone, which seems to be the goal for the year of the phone wars. This whole trick screams Samsung to me Annoyed It’s about to be dethroned from the top spot for global smartphone shipments by Apple – Again.
