Finally, the release date for Samsung’s next Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone has been revealed. On May 13 at 1 PM IST, the gadget will officially launch, perhaps becoming the brand’s thinnest smartphone to date. Although the design has already been unveiled at a number of international shows, the specifics of its features are still unknown. Nonetheless, a number of leaks have provided a somewhat clear picture of what to anticipate in terms of features, performance, and cost, especially for the Indian market.
Samsung’s event details:
Time: 9 AM (KST)/ 5:30 AM (IST) Date: May 13
Livestream: the official Samsung website
Details about the product:
With rumors indicating a 6.4mm thin profile, the Galaxy S25 Edge is probably being positioned as one of the tiniest smartphones available. This achievement was made possible by the use of tandem OLED display technology. Apple’s latest iPad Pro models use the same technology. The phone becomes lighter and slimmer without sacrificing brightness or screen quality since it does away with the requirement for a backlight. It is anticipated that the display will be a 6.6-inch OLED panel that supports a refresh rate of 120 Hz.
Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is probably used to cover the front, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 might be used for the rear. It is anticipated that an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner would be integrated beneath the screen.

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite engine, 12GB of RAM, and up to 512GB of internal storage are expected to power the smartphone. Additionally, it might have a 3,900mAh battery.
A 200MP primary back camera, which is anticipated to be the same detector seen in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, has been verified by Samsung. It might come with an ultra-wide lens with 12MP. It’s anticipated that the phone would have a 12MP front- facing camera for selfies and videotape exchanges.
First unveiled at MWC 2025 in Barcelona, the Galaxy S25 Edge is anticipated to have a flat- frame,ultra-thin body that’s just 5.85 mm thick. The phone should also only weigh 163 g and be IP68 rated to defend against dust and water. There will most robably be three color options Titanium Silver, Titanium Icyblue, and Titanium Jet Black.
Expected Indian Price:
The Galaxy S25 Edge could be the middle ground between the S25+ and the S25 Ultra. It may offer a more luxurious experience than the normal and Plus models, despite being less expensive than the Ultra. Though the business has not announced it, the Edge is expected to cost between Rs 1,05,000 and Rs 1,15,000. The Galaxy S25, Plus, and Ultra have beginning pricing of Rs 80,999, Rs 99,999, and Rs 1,29,999, respectively. This is the reason for this.
Samsung’s Edge pricing approach will be crucial, particularly in a cutthroat market like India where consumers frequently base their decisions on features and value. It may be a strong choice for high-end consumers who aren’t necessarily interested in the Ultra model because of its flagship-level chipset, ultra-thin profile, lightweight construction, and high-end camera system.
