We may have a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch date, and it’s soon

The pending launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has been the subject of plenty of speculation, but it now seems that we’ve got a date for the announcement of this phone: April 15, 2025.

It comes just 2 months after the launch of the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S25 family , while being teased at Galaxy Unpacked, so we all knew this new slim phone was coming. The confirmation doesn’t come from Samsung itself – so there’s still potential that this could be wrong – but there’s now alignment across a couple of sources.

We’d previously seen it reported by Seoul Economic Daily that the phone would be announced on April 16. Now we have a Dutch phone seller telling us that the announcement will happen on April 16. Given how time zones work, it’s perfectly plausible that both can be correct.

This new source goes on to detail the model numbers for the new devices, saying that it will come in silver, blue and black and that you’ll be able to get 256 or 512GB versions of each model. Beyond that we learn that silicone and Kindsuit cases will be launched for the new devices too.

The exact price of the Galaxy S25 Edge remains a mystery, but we’ve previously reported that it will be priced somewhere between the Galaxy S25 Plus and the S25 Ultra. That’s going to make this slim phone pretty expensive for what you get, but it’s also likely to be popular phone thanks to shift in design.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is said to be 5.75mm thick, with a titanium alloy frame , so those colours will be Titanium Icyblue, Titanium Silver and Titanium Jetblack.

The display is said to be around 6.7-inches, while we’re expecting Snapdragon 8 Elite power driving this phone. The battery might shrink to 3,900mAh, so the cost of going slim – apart from the cost on your pocket – might be the battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be produced in limited quantities and, despite the cost, I’m expecting it to be one of the hottest phones of the year.

One month later, the Galaxy S25 Edge is much better than I expected

For the past two years, a few choice phone makers have been competing for the crown of the world's thinnest smartphone. Oppo and Honor have both traded the crown of the world's thinnest foldable, but neither has taken the same approach to non-folding phones.

Instead, Samsung and Apple are expected to vie to be the world’s thinnest phone overall. Apple is rumored to launch the iPhone 17 Air in September, while Samsung first teased the Galaxy S25 Edge at Unpacked in January, before it was launched last month. Measuring 5.8mm thick at its thinnest point, the Galaxy S25 Edge is thicker than the best folding phones when they are unfolded, but remains the thinnest current smartphone otherwise.

We've already been told the upcoming Honor Magic V5 will be the world's thinnest foldable phone, and now we have the measurement to prove it.

The Honor Magic V5 will measure 8.8mm folded (via Bloomberg), making it 0.1mm thinner than the current world's thinnest foldable, the Oppo Find N5, and 0.4mm thinner than the handset it's replacing - the Magic V3 (Honor is skipping '4' and moving straight to '5').

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 launch date is tipped to be less than three weeks away, but it's going to be beaten to the punch by another foldable which could put a dampener on Samsung's announcement.

Chinese smartphone maker Honor has announced when it will officially launch its next foldable, confirming that it will be the "world’s thinnest foldable smartphone".
