Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge LIVE: All the large Unpacked information because it’s introduced

Digital camera specs

There’s no secret concerning the digital camera setup for the Galaxy S25 Edge. A look on the prototypes that Samsung has placed on show reveals solely two rear digital camera lenses, which is a departure from the remainder of the Galaxy S25 lineup. These telephones provide a triple digital camera array.

The probably absentee is the telephoto lens, and the rationale most likely comes all the way down to house. A zoom lens takes up lots of room, and that’s one thing the slender Galaxy S25 Edge design doesn’t have loads to spare.

Samsung is making up for the shortage of a devoted telephoto digital camera with a high-resolution essential shooter. Particularly, the telephone maker has already confirmed that the primary lens on the Edge will use a 200MP sensor, matching the Galaxy S25 Extremely’s essential digital camera. We’d think about that you simply’ll be capable to approximate an optical zoom by cropping in on pictures shot at full decision with that essential digital camera.

As for the opposite rear digital camera lens, it’s probably an ultrawide digital camera. And based mostly on some leaked advertising and marketing supplies, we’d guess that it’s a 12MP sensor, and never the 50MP shooter that the S25 Extremely makes use of for its ultrawide digital camera.

Pre-order offers

The second the Galaxy S25 Edge will get introduced, you’ll be able to count on to listen to about pre-order gives, not simply from Samsung however wi-fi carriers as properly. However you don’t have to attend till then to lock in a cheaper price on Samsung’s subsequent telephone.

You possibly can register to pre-order the Galaxy S25 Edge at Samsung. Achieve this earlier than the Digital Unpacked occasion, and also you’ll get a $50 credit score which you could apply to something introduced on the present. There’s no obligation to observe by way of on that pre-order, both.

Galaxy S25 Edge worth rumors

Anytime a brand new telephone launches, we’re to listen to how a lot it’s going to value. That’s very true of a tool just like the Galaxy S25 Edge, since we don’t have any earlier releases to information our expectations.

Rumors concerning the S25 Edge’s worth have been all around the map. At varied factors, the telephone has been touted as both a stand-in for Samsung’s FE mannequin, which usually prices lower than the common Galaxy S telephones, or a premium machine that will rival the Galaxy S25 Extremely in worth.

The reality could lie someplace within the center, at the very least if the most recent worth rumors are something to go by. Leaked pricing out of Korea put the Galaxy S25 Edge’s worth at round $1,045 in the event you do a straight forex conversion. That’s led many individuals to imagine that the Edge will begin at round $1,099 — just a bit bit greater than the Galaxy S25 Plus however not as a lot because the Extremely.

Greater than only a skinny telephone?

For the reason that Edge first appeared, I’ve had only one query — is there extra to this telephone than simply its skinny design? (To be truthful to Samsung, I’ve requested the identical query concerning the iPhone 17 Air that is additionally purported to ship an ultra-thin body later this 12 months.) Sure, a really slender telephone is spectacular from a design standpoint and definitely a lot simpler to tote round. Nevertheless it looks like there must be extra to justify spending what figures to be massive bucks on this specific telephone.

As I’ve famous up to now, the ultra-thin telephones remind me of foldable telephones — and never in a great way. Mainly, telephone makers have but to offer me a compelling purpose to pay up for a foldable telephone, other than the truth that the display screen can fold in half. We have but to see the app or process come alongside that really takes benefit of this design.

I ponder if ultra-thin units will endure from the identical limitation. So I will be watching tonight to see how Samsung makes the case for why you need to pay up for the Edge.

Early impressions

Although Samsung has proven the Galaxy S25 Edge on a number of events, we’ve not but had the possibility to go palms on with it. Regardless of, although — now we have seen the telephone up shut, and that is allow us to kind just a few early impressions forward of the formal launch.

On the Galaxy Unpacked occasion, Mark Spoonauer noticed the Edge and thought the telephone regarded strikingly skinny. However the digital camera bump seems much more outstanding due to it. General, it felt to Mark like Samsung’s making an attempt to get forward of Apple earlier than its chief rival can launch a skinny telephone of its personal later this 12 months.

Simply over a month later, Tom Pritchard took within the Galaxy S25 Edge at MWC 2025. His massive impression: the Edge simply did not look that spectacular up shut.

These are simply first impressions, thoughts you. Nevertheless it’s clear Samsung goes to need to work very arduous to make a case for this telephone on the official debut afterward as we speak.

What we all know, what we do not

Proper after Samsung introduced this Unpacked occasion, I put collectively a abstract of the three largest issues we already know concerning the Edge, and the large questions Samsung nonetheless has to reply. In case, you do not care to do any gentle studying forward of tonight’s occasion, I might sum up the issues we all know thusly:

• It is going to be skinny.
• It is going to have a 200MP digital camera.
• It is going to include AI options.

Filling in these actual particulars are Samsung’s job. In the meantime, the 2 largest questions — in my thoughts, anyhow — are what Samsung’s going to cost for the Galaxy S25 Edge and simply how a lot battery life it could actually ship. The reply to the previous query nonetheless would possibly leak as we speak, however the latter query could have to attend till we get an opportunity to check the telephone as soon as and for all.

About that begin time

We usually count on to see Samsung’s Unpacked occasions happen within the morning — both 10 a.m. ET or 10 a.m. PT relying what aspect of the U.S. is internet hosting the occasion. Even final 12 months’s Galaxy Z Fold 6/Galaxy Z Flip 6 launch, which came about in Paris was held at 9 a.m. ET whereas the Galaxy Z Fold 5 launch in Korea was timed to happen throughout the morning within the U.S.

All of it is a round-about method of claiming the 8 p.m. ET begin time for as we speak’s Unpacked occasion tends to stay out.

However the time is sensible when you think about that 8 p.m. ET on Monday evening is 9 a.m. on Tuesday in Korea. And I am guessing that is a reasonably large trace that Samsung thinks its dwelling market goes to be very within the Galaxy S25 Edge’s skinny design.

Samsung has a current historical past of promoting its extra unconventional telephones in Korea. As an illustration, final 12 months it launched the Galaxy Z Fold Particular Version (pictured above) unique in Korea. Curiously sufficient, that telephone shares a function with the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge — it featured a 200MP essential digital camera, too. And at 4.9mm unfolded, it was a fairly skinny telephone in its personal proper, too.

How skinny will the Galaxy S25 Edge be?

The large query forward of the Galaxy S25 Edge launch is how skinny the telephone really can be. Samsung hasn’t formally mentioned, and even if we have seen variations of the telephone on show, it has been behind glass, stopping us from measuring the machine.

However some leakers have gotten their palms on dummy items, and the consensus is that the Galaxy S25 Edge will measure 5.8mm at its thinnest level. To place that in context, the usual Galaxy S25 measures 7.2mm. So Samsung is managing to shed practically 1.5mm from its thinnest flagship. An unfolded Galaxy Z Fold 6 would nonetheless be thinner, although.

Here is a take a look at how the Galaxy S25 Edge would measure as much as different Samsung telephones in addition to the highest flagships, ought to that 5.8mm depth change into correct.

Rumored Edge specs

We have had a lot of Galaxy S25 Edge specs leaks main as much as as we speak’s occasion, giving us some sense of what the telephone will be capable to do as soon as Samsung makes issues official. For reference, here is what we predict we all know heading into the Digital Unpacked occasion.

How correct are these specs? We’ll discover out quickly sufficient.
