Refresh
Then the Galaxy S25 edge could have a lot of groundbreaking (word games calculated) technology inside it to make a slim flagship phone.
So maybe there will be people who pay for the privilege of using sophisticated tech … I might be such a person!
Over a magnificent for a phone that may remove more than it gives, it can be a tough pill for consumers to swallow.
The smartphone prices have been crawled up as they have got more sophisticated but one you go past $ 1,000 / £ 1,000 your device better gives a strong value.
Leak Ahoy!
Right let’s dig in some rumors and tips.
Primarily. Yesterday we saw a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge leakage showed the phone’s design and a potential price.
From a screen grip from a retailer who seems to put his list of Galaxy S25 Edge online prematurely, we got a look at the phone that looks largely unchanged from his debut earlier this year and spies a price of £ 1,099 (about $ 1,465 / AU $ 2,275).
Now it’s a punchy price tag for phone that doesn’t sports as many cameras as its standard stablemat. I would suggest taking this ‘leak’ with a dose of skepticism.
Slim and sophisticated?
You might be asking why we need a slim takeover of the Galaxy S25? Well, I am partly with you as it is not like the current phones are bulky; Even the Galaxy S25 Ultra feels like it has modestly enclosed to a phone of its size.
But like someone on its way to a wedding for the next few days, I like the idea of a very slim and hopefully light, phone that can slip into a jacket pocket and not bulk it out.
So while talking performance, I assume it includes battery life. I will be fascinated by seeing if Samsung has made a slim phone that does not compromise on battery capacity.
Maybe the South Korean Tech giant may have used some form of split cell design to keep the phone’s overall body slim, but still ensures that there is plenty of electric juice to sip to at least one day’s use worth of use.
Powerwise is the Galaxy S25 Edge tipped to use the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset as its stablemats. What will be interesting here is if the slim chassis affects the performance, as less thickness means less space for heat to spread when a chip is pushed.
But I suppose Samsung may have done some smart things with cooling and steam chambers to make sure the snapdragon chip does not melt in a silicon sweat.
Lowdown
So what is lowdown with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge then? Well on simple expressions, the phone will be a slender version of the Galaxy S25.
Its size seems to sit between the basic galaxy S25 and the plus model. While its main admission to slimming appears to be the removal of a rear camera, which means the edge has two rear snappers. The good news here is that the main camera is tilted to sports a 200-megapixel sensor.
Unusual for Samsung finds this packed place much later in the day than usual. Maybe this is down to the showcase that is expected to be small and short.
In the end, we only expect to see the Galaxy S25 edge of this unpacked and nothing more. So it can explain why Samsung doesn’t make this event one that is at a reasonable time for most of its key markets.
