Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge was set to launch on April 15 but is now scheduled for May 13, with a Galaxy Unpacked event. Pre-orders open on May 14, and availability starts May 23, initially limited to China and Korea, before expanding globally on May 30. Pre-order customers will receive 512GB of storage for the cost of the 256GB variant. The S25 Edge aims to compete with Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air and features a 200 MP main camera, an ultrawide lens, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and the smallest battery in the S25 lineup. Pricing will be between the S25+ and S25 Ultra.
Reports suggest that Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge was initially scheduled for an official unveiling on April 15, but it seems the launch has been postponed to May 13. A new report from Korea has confirmed this date, stating there will be a Galaxy Unpacked event held on May 13. The phone will be available for pre-order starting May 14 and is expected to hit the shelves on May 23.
Unfortunately, earlier speculations appear to be accurate regarding the device’s initial availability being limited to China and Korea. However, this exclusivity will be short-lived. The S25 Edge is now anticipated to be released in the US and other international markets by May 30. Customers who pre-order will receive the 512GB storage option at the price of the 256GB model. Reports indicate that these will be the only two storage variants available.

This report emphasizes that the primary goal of the Galaxy S25 Edge is to counter Apple’s forthcoming iPhone 17 Air, anticipated to launch in September alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup. Pricing for the S25 Edge is expected to fall between that of the S25+ and the S25 Ultra.
The Galaxy S25 Edge will feature the same display as the S25+, boasting a 200 MP main camera, an ultrawide lens, but no telephoto option, along with the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and it will have the smallest battery capacity within the S25 series.
