Measuring just 5.8 millimeters thick and weighing 163 grams, the new model is the culmination of Samsung’s effort to marry minimalist design with robust engineering. It features a high-strength titanium frame and an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.
The launch rounds out the Galaxy S25 lineup and follows a weeklong pre-order period from May 14 to 20 that, according to Samsung, drew strong interest from consumers in their teens and 30s. Buyers in those age groups accounted for more than half of pre-orders placed through the company’s official website.
Available in Titanium Silver, Jet Black, and Ice Blue, the Galaxy S25 Edge is priced at 1.5 million won (approximately $1,100) for the 256GB model and 1.639 million won for the 512GB version. Titanium Silver proved to be the most popular choice among early adopters.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset — shared across the S25 series — and features an upgraded vapor chamber cooling system for improved thermal performance over its predecessor, the Galaxy S24.
The S25 Edge also boasts a 200-megapixel wide-angle main camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide camera with macro functionality and auto-focus. For the first time in the series, the front-facing camera supports log video recording, a feature aimed at content creators.
Samsung’s new ProVisual Engine, designed to enhance image clarity and render skin tones more naturally, is built into the device.
A suite of AI-powered editing tools — including AI Eraser, Audio Eraser, Generative Edit, and Sketch to Image — comes standard, alongside live AI features such as Now Brief for personalized updates and Now Bar, a real-time activity display on the lock screen. Both are compatible with third-party applications.
“The Galaxy S25 Edge is the result of condensing our most advanced technologies into a streamlined form without compromising performance or design,” said Roh Tae-moon, acting head of Samsung’s Device eXperience division.
To sweeten the launch, Samsung is offering a series of promotional perks, including six months of Google One AI Premium, three months of Willa audiobook access, and digital magazine subscriptions.
