On Monday, May 12, after months of teases and leaks (so many leaks), Samsung finally released its newest smartphone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. The new ultra-thin smartphone has a body just 5.8mm thick and a starting price tag of $1,099.99.
Customers can pre-order the new phone now through May 30 at the Samsung online store, as well as from retailers like Amazon and mobile carriers.
Samsung has a straightforward pitch for the S25 Edge: It has feature parity with the Galaxy S25 line, but in a much thinner (and in some cases more affordable) package. Mashable’s Alex Perry got to preview the phone ahead of its launch, and you can check out his first-hand impressions.
In the meantime, we’re breaking down everything we’ve learned about the new phone so far, including how to save $50 on the purchase price and get 256GB of extra storage for free. Amazon is also offering a gift card promotion for shoppers who opt for the 512GB version

So, besides the svelte body, how does the phone compare to the rest of its S25 siblings? It has surprisingly similar specs to the $1,299 S25 Ultra, Samsung’s current flagship smartphone. While the display is a little smaller, it has the same RAM and starting storage options. It also has the same primary 200MP main rear camera lens, although its 12MP ultra-wide lens isn’t quite as powerful as the Ultra’s 50MP. The S25 Edge is also lacking the Ultra’s telephoto lens.
However, for the average user, all the crucial features are here, including all of the S25’s signature AI features. The S25 Edge also features a new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 front display, which Samsung says is more durable.
The new thin Samsung phone is available in three colors: Titanium Silver, Titanium Icyblue, and Titanium Jetblack.
