Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge's entire launch timeline leaks, here's what to expect

Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge was allegedly supposed to become fully official on April 15, but its introduction was rumored to have been delayed until May 13. Today a new report from Korea confirms that date, saying there will be a Galaxy Unpacked event for it on May 13. The phone will then go up for pre-order on May 14 and will become available on May 23.

Unfortunately, the earlier rumors were seemingly correct in saying that the device would only launch in China and Korea. But that exclusivity won't last very long at all. The S25 Edge is now said to make it to the US and other global markets on May 30. Those who pre-order one will get 512GB of storage for the price of the 256GB model. These will be the only two variants, reportedly.

The whole point of the Galaxy S25 Edge, which this report reiterates, is to preempt Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to arrive in September alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 family. Pricing for the S25 Edge will have it slot in between the S25+ and S25 Ultra.

The Galaxy S25 Edge will have the same screen as the S25+, a 200 MP main camera, an ultrawide, no telephoto, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and the smallest battery capacity of the entire S25 family.
