Samsung recently teased the Galaxy S25 Edge at its Unpacked event, with a rumored launch set for April. Reports indicate that the device will feature an aluminum frame and a ceramic back, enhancing durability compared to glass, though concerns about brittleness and weight arise. There’s speculation that Samsung might use glass infused with ceramic speckles instead. The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be 5.84mm thick and equipped with two rear cameras (200 MP main and 12 MP ultrawide), a modest 3,900 mAh battery, and powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, running Android 15 with One UI 7.
At last month’s Unpacked event, Samsung provided a sneak peek of the Galaxy S25 Edge, with rumors suggesting a launch around April. In anticipation of its arrival, a new report has surfaced revealing details about the materials that will be used in its construction.
It appears that the frame will be made of aluminum, which isn’t particularly surprising, but the back will not be made of glass. It also won’t be plastic; instead, it is expected to be crafted from ceramic, “for enhanced durability.”
This is intriguing, as ceramic offers greater scratch resistance than glass, yet it is also more brittle and heavier. However, it remains uncertain whether Samsung will utilize pure ceramic or glass mixed with ceramic particles.
We suspect the latter is more likely since the Edge is rumored to be quite lightweight, which would be inconsistent with solid ceramic. The main point of today’s report, despite its complexity, is to indicate that the S25 Edge will not feature Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on its rear, a contrast to the S25 and S25+.
The Edge is rumored to have a thickness of 5.84mm, and it will include two rear cameras (200 MP main, 12 MP ultrawide), a front that resembles the S25+ closely (with a similar, if not identical, screen size to that model), and a surprisingly small 3,900 mAh battery. Powering the device will be the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and it is expected to launch with Android 15, layered with One UI 7.
