The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is one of the world’s slimmest smartphone

Samsung’s titanium-clad curved phone is here

If you thought the Galaxy S series couldn’t get any sleeker, Samsung just proved you wrong.

Meet the Galaxy S25 Edge, a super slim, AI-powered smartphone that’s as smart as it is stunning.

First teased at the Samsung Galaxy S25 launch and showcased at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2025 in Barcelona, the Galaxy S25 Edge is now launching officially.

With all the premium bells and whistles you’d expect from a flagship, the S25 Edge squeezes power, style, and next-level camera tech into a body just 5.8mm thin, weighing just 163g.

Slim, strong, and sleek

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge wraps its internals in a durable titanium frame with elegantly curved edges. It’s topped with the new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, so you’re getting both beauty and brawn.

It’s all part of Samsung’s effort to reimagine what a flagship smartphone can look and feel like. It feels futuristic, but familiar, like a classic Galaxy S with a bold new edge (pun intended).

Big camera in a tiny frame.

Despite its ultra-thin profile, the Galaxy S25 Edge packs a 200MP main camera, ready to shoot everything from crisp macros to moody night portraits.

The improved sensor captures shots up to 40% brighter in low light, while ProVisual Engine and AI tools like Drawing Assist and Audio Eraser let you level up your content without breaking a sweat.

Performance that doesn’t break a sweat

Powering the Galaxy S25 Edge is the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the same powerhouse chip as the rest of the S25 lineup.

Whether you’re gaming, editing, or juggling apps, everything is bound to feel buttery smooth. Plus, a redesigned vapor chamber cooling system will keep it running cool, even in an ultra-slim chassis.

The display experience is smarter too, with AI-powered ProScaler making your content look sharper, smoother, and brighter, without draining your battery.

Galaxy AI meets Gemini

Samsung slimmed down the hardware while packing Galaxy AI smarts that actually make life easier.

From AI summaries and on-device photo editing to Gemini Live’s new screen and camera sharing features, the Galaxy S25 Edge adapts to your routine in ways that feel intuitive and useful.

Features like Now Brief and Now Bar pull relevant updates right when you need them, while on-device AI keeps your data secure via Samsung Knox Vault.

Ready to keep up with your lifestyle

The Galaxy S25 Edge fits seamlessly into the Samsung ecosystem. That means smarter fitness tracking with Samsung Health, enhanced sleep tracking, and free wellness features that don’t hide behind paywalls.

Even Samsung Wallet improves with Tap to Transfer, making it easier to pay or send money with just a tap.

Pre-order deals

The Galaxy S25 Edge is now available for pre-order, starting at US$ 1,100 (256GB) or US$ 1,220 (512GB). It comes in three classy finishes: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue.
