SEOUL, May 13 (Korea Bizwire) — Samsung Electronics Co. on Tuesday unveiled its new Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone, featuring an ultra-slim design, advanced camera technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
The new smartphone measures 5.8 millimeters thick, significantly thinner than the Galaxy S25′s 7.2 mm and the Galaxy S25 Plus’ 7.6 mm, according to the company.
It weighs 163 grams, slightly heavier than the standard S25′s 162 g.
Despite its slimness and lightness, the Galaxy S25 Edge maintains the same cutting-edge features as the standard S25, including a 200-megapixel high-resolution camera and on-device AI capabilities.
Samsung Electronics said the Edge model is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the same processor used in the flagship Galaxy S25 series.
The new phone also features a display protected by Corning Inc.’s Gorilla Glass, designed to enhance durability and resist cracks.

The company emphasized that the Edge is not a limited edition for this year, though it has not yet decided whether the model will become a permanent part of the Galaxy S25 lineup.
“This will serve as a major model of the S25 series,” Kang Min-seok, head of smartphone product planning at Samsung Electronics, said.
“We will decide on plans to include it in next year’s lineup after reviewing customer needs, technological demand, optimal prices and generational preferences,” Kang added, while speaking in a press conference.
Samsung Electronics plans to launch the Galaxy S25 Edge in around 30 countries, including the United States, China and key European markets. However, exact international release dates have not yet been confirmed.
The Galaxy S25 Edge will be available in South Korea starting May 23, with preorders opening from May 14-20. Prices will start from 1.49 million won (US$1,055).
