Samsung is ready to make a splash once again with the official unveiling of its highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge. With the launch date now confirmed, both fans and industry experts are excited to discover what innovative features the South Korean tech giant has included in its sleekest smartphone yet.
Global Launch Date and Timings
Samsung has confirmed a virtual Unpacked Event to unveil the Galaxy S25 Edge on May 13, 2025, at 9:00 AM KST. For international audiences, this translates to:
- May 12, 5:00 PM in California
- May 12, 8:00 PM in New York
- May 13, 1:00 AM in London
- May 13, 2:00 AM in Paris and Berlin
- May 13, 5:00 AM in Pakistan
Though the phone will debut globally during this live stream, Samsung is expected to prioritize availability in South Korea and China. Wider global distribution, including in Pakistan, may follow later in the month.
“More Than a Slim Smartphone”
Samsung’s official invitation teases that the S25 Edge is “more than a slim smartphone.” With a body measuring only 5.84mm to 5.85mm thick and a weight of just 163 grams, it is poised to be the thinnest Galaxy S-series phone ever made.
The invitation also hints at a deep design philosophy, highlighting that “every curve and detail” reflects the company’s commitment to premium build quality.
Design and Display
The Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a crisp 3120 x 1440 resolution. It’s built to last, too, with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back, all wrapped in a strong titanium frame. Color options will include Titanium Blue, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Black.
Flagship Camera for Pro-Level Photography
Samsung is equipping the S25 Edge with its signature 200-megapixel main sensor, the same powerful unit found on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. A 12MP ultra-wide lens is also expected, allowing users to capture sharp, high-quality photos from various perspectives.
Samsung promises that the new camera setup will carry forward its legacy of innovation in mobile photography, enabling “pro-level features” for both casual users and serious content creators.
Smarter With AI and Snapdragon Elite
The Galaxy S25 Edge doesn’t just look futuristic. It thinks that way, too. Samsung confirms it will include AI enhancements similar to those on other S25 models, aiming to boost both camera performance and daily usability.
Powering the device is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 12GB of RAM, ensuring smooth multitasking and fast app performance. It will run on One UI 7, based on Android 15.
Battery Life
To achieve its ultra-slim profile, the S25 Edge houses a 3,900mAh battery. While smaller than some competitors, it supports 25W wired charging and the newer Qi2 wireless standard. The reduced battery size is a compromise to maintain its sleek design.
Price and Pakistani Market Outlook
According to European and Canadian leaks, expected pricing for the Galaxy S25 Edge is:
- €1,249 (approx. PKR 400,000) for the 256GB model
- €1,369 for the 512GB variant
- CA$1,679 (roughly £1,000 / $1,200 / €1,100)
For Indian markets, the estimate ranges from Rs 99,999 to Rs 1,29,999. In Pakistan, while exact availability remains unclear, the phone is expected to arrive by the end of May.
Final Thoughts
With its ultra-thin body, premium build, AI-enhanced software, and pro-grade camera, the Galaxy S25 Edge is shaping up to be one of the most impressive releases of the year. Samsung appears ready to challenge industry norms and raise the bar for premium smartphones.
Whether you’re a camera enthusiast, a design lover, or just a tech follower, May 13 is a date to mark on your calendar. The Galaxy S25 Edge might just be “thin enough to slip under the radar”, but it certainly won’t go unnoticed.
