Samsung Galaxy Unpacked on Wednesday noticed the introduction of three new telephones with the thrust of the launch speaking about new
One UI 7
and Galaxy AI options you’ll be able to anticipate on the telephones. The brand new {hardware} is the
Galaxy S25
, Galaxy S25+, and
Galaxy S25 Extremely
. For those who’re all for Samsung merchandise, you have in all probability already seen that this is among the most iterative adjustments we’ve ever needed to the corporate’s flagship telephones.
Then a One Extra Factor-style teaser gave us a have a look at the corporate’s fourth and presumably ultimate mainline entry on this sequence. The
Galaxy S25 Edge
is the title of the cellphone you’ve probably examine because the Galaxy S25 Slim in a number of leaks and rumors. We noticed a 30-second lengthy teaser displaying the cellphone being put collectively, but it surely did not give us a lot key element reminiscent of specs or perhaps a clear have a look at the general design.
Then got here a real-life unit that was hanging on show at Unpacked. AP’s personal Will Sattelberg was on the launch occasion, and the images beneath present you the way shut he was capable of get to the unit. We weren’t capable of contact this factor, and there have been only a few particulars made obtainable exterior this basic design.
All of us have plenty of questions proper now. My most important one is why now? Certainly the corporate knew this launch was set to be met by a shrug from Samsung followers searching for innovation in its cell tasks. For those who put these three new units alongside the
Galaxy S24
sequence, there’s little or no change between them. If the corporate has a really game-changing design underneath its belt, why wait and use that as a teaser on the finish of the launch fairly than making that the massive promoting level?
The opposite large oddity right here is the query it now places in Samsung purchaser’s minds. For those who had been seeking to improve to a Galaxy S25 sequence system, do you now want to attend to see what the Edge is earlier than shopping for?
A part of the issue right here is the dearth of element. The title alone makes it clear that it’s meant to be a part of Samsung’s flagship 2025 cellphone vary, but it surely’s additionally not prepared for when most individuals want to improve their units from older handsets just like the Galaxy S23 sequence or earlier. All we obtained from Samsung was a small teaser that confirmed a few minor particulars like the very fact it’s going to have two cameras. No phrase on specs, pricing, launch date, or any additional particulars on what to anticipate.
There’s nonetheless a lot to be taught
Leaks and rumors counsel it’ll be 6.4mm thick, which goes to be the distinguishing issue right here. Different stories are suggesting you received’t have the ability to purchase the cellphone till Might, so if you’re seeking to improve it might be an extended wait till Samsung is prepared with this different handset.
Certainly Samsung intends to make a bang with these occasions and provides each particular person watching a transparent thought of what their subsequent cellphone needs to be. As an alternative, the corporate teased this additional handset suggesting when you purchase a regular S25 you will not be getting the most recent and best factor. The typical Samsung fan goes to be confused about what to do.
Do you look forward to the subsequent few months to see what the Galaxy S25 Edge is? Does this handset sit above the Galaxy S25 Extremely when it comes to worth, or is it extra of an equal to the Galaxy S25 and it’s an alternatively skinny model of the usual cellphone?
I do know Samsung desires to construct hype, however proper now I feel it has simply made its lineup complicated. That is probably a manner to assist it compete with the ever-growing rumor of an iPhone 17 Air coming from Apple this 12 months. Thinner telephones appear to be the subsequent large battleground for these corporations, and it’s an space we’ve seen smaller producers battle in earlier than. Samsung wished to plant its flag within the floor in the beginning of 2025.
And the hype is constructing for a Galaxy S25 Edge, however I feel this leaves the common Samsung fan extra confused about their subsequent cellphone than a launch occasion ought to. With telephones lasting us longer, they’ll probably be ready round earlier than upgrading to the next-gen cellphone from the corporate. They’ll wait to see what the Galaxy S25 Edge is, and if it’s not for them, effectively, they’re already shut to 6 months away from a Galaxy S26.
