Samsung’s next ultra-slim flagship, the Galaxy S25 Edge, was originally expected to debut in April. However, a new report from South Korea now suggests that the launch has been pushed back by a month or two. The Galaxy S25 Edge will be the fourth addition to the Galaxy S25 series and brings a slim, premium design packed with high-end internals.
Delay
According to a report by ET News, Samsung has informed mobile carriers in South Korea that the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge has been delayed. Originally tipped for an April 16 release, the new launch window is now set for either May or June.
The reason? It’s reportedly not a technical issue. Instead, the decision was linked to timing and market strategy. With President Yoon Suk Yeol’s impeachment trial scheduled for April 4, Samsung allegedly wanted to avoid splitting public attention and diminishing the impact of its marketing campaign.
Samsung’s top executive, Noh Tae-moon — who heads the MX Business Division and is acting head of the DX Division — is believed to have influenced the revised schedule.
Launch Format
Much like the Galaxy Z Fold SE launch last year, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be unveiled through an online event, complete with teaser videos and digital showcases. This format allows Samsung to build anticipation while avoiding the complexities of a physical launch event.
The S25 Edge was previously teased during the Galaxy Unpacked event earlier this year and made an appearance at MWC 2025. Those early previews gave users a glimpse of the device’s ultra-thin design and modern look.
Design and Build
The Galaxy S25 Edge will stand out for its slim profile. It is rumored to measure just 5.84mm thick, making it one of the thinnest smartphones Samsung has ever built. Despite its slim frame, it is said to feature a 6.7-inch display — likely a high-refresh-rate AMOLED panel with vibrant visuals and slim bezels.
Samsung is also aiming to place the Galaxy S25 Edge between the Galaxy S25+ and the S25 Ultra in terms of pricing and positioning. It’s expected to bring a sleek and stylish form factor to users who want high-end specs without the bulk.
Specs
Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Edge is tipped to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset — the latest and most powerful SoC from Qualcomm, specially optimized for Samsung’s Galaxy line.
The phone is also expected to include:
- 12GB RAM
- 256GB storage (base variant)
- 3,900mAh battery
- 25W wired fast charging
While the battery capacity may seem modest compared to other flagships, it likely reflects the trade-off needed to maintain the thin form factor.
Pricing
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to land between the pricing of the Galaxy S25+ and the S25 Ultra. Reports suggest that the 256GB variant could be priced at KRW 1.5 million in South Korea — roughly Rs. 87,000 in India. That puts it in the premium range, but still below the price of the Ultra model.

Samsung seems to be targeting users who crave a stylish, thin design without giving up on performance. The S25 Edge’s delay doesn’t appear to be a red flag — if anything, it shows Samsung wants to ensure maximum visibility and success for the new model. With a sleek build, high-end chipset, and a fresh design approach, the Galaxy S25 Edge could be one of the most interesting phones in Samsung’s 2025 lineup.
