Samsung recently unveiled its highly anticipated Galaxy S25 lineup, but the absence of the rumored S25 Slim has left many tech enthusiasts puzzled. The unveiling at the Unpacked event showcased three models, hinting at a possible fourth surprise, which turned out to be the Galaxy S25 Edge.
This last-minute teaser of the Galaxy S25 Edge has sparked curiosity among fans, especially since it only features two rear cameras instead of the rumored three. Despite the thin profile resembling that of the Slim leaks, the resurrection of the ‘Edge’ branding from previous models adds an element of intrigue, considering its historical association with curved screens.
The question remains: will Samsung eventually launch the Galaxy S25 Slim under a different guise as the S25 Edge? The minimal mention of the Edge variant during the Unpacked event suggests a later release date, following a similar pattern to the delayed introduction of the FE ‘fan edition’ models.
Speculations suggest that the decision to rebrand the Slim model as the Edge could be attributed to its perceived lack of slimness compared to the other S25 variants. With the S25 measuring 7.2mm, the S25+ at 7.3mm, and the S25 Ultra at 8.2mm, the rumored 6.4mm thickness of the Slim (or Edge) raises questions about its classification.
Furthermore, reports from Phone Arena hint that the Slim model may not make its way to the US market and could face a potential delay until May, with a focus on launching in 39 other markets, including the UK. As details continue to emerge, stay tuned for updates on the Galaxy S25 Edge and its potential evolution from the rumored S25 Slim.
