Samsung has officially postponed the launch of its highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge from April 15 to May 13, 2025. The delay comes amid internal corporate changes following the recent passing of Samsung’s co-CEO, Han Jong-hee, marking a significant shift in the company’s release strategy.
The Galaxy S25 Edge, first unveiled at Samsung’s January 2025 Galaxy Unpacked event and later showcased at Mobile World Congress 2025, has generated considerable interest for its groundbreaking ultra-slim design and premium titanium construction. At just 5.84mm thick, it represents one of Samsung’s thinnest smartphone offerings to date.
According to industry reports, the revised launch timeline includes a carefully orchestrated rollout sequence. Pre-orders will commence from May 14 to May 20, followed by pre-reservations from May 20 to May 23. The device will initially debut in South Korea and China on May 23, with a broader global release, including the United States and European markets, scheduled for May 30.
The device’s pricing structure reflects its premium positioning, with Korean market figures indicating a starting price of 1,500,000 won (approximately ₹89,200) for the 256GB variant and 1,630,000 won (roughly ₹97,000) for the 512GB model. Early buyers can expect a compelling incentive: a double storage upgrade at no additional cost.
Technical specifications reveal a sophisticated device featuring a 6.7-inch display powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and 12GB of RAM. The phone’s distinctive dual rear camera system sets it apart from its S25 siblings, while its titanium frame, available in Silver, Jetblack, and Icyblue finishes, promises enhanced durability without compromising on aesthetics.
The device’s European pricing is expected to land at €1249, positioning it strategically between the standard S25 and Ultra models. This pricing strategy suggests Samsung’s intent to create a unique market segment for the Edge variant, appealing to consumers seeking premium design without ultra-premium pricing.
Samsung’s staggered release approach appears carefully calculated to manage global supply chains effectively. The appearance of the device on India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website hints at an imminent launch in the subcontinent, though specific timing remains unconfirmed.
As Samsung prepares for this significant launch, the Galaxy S25 Edge represents more than just another smartphone release. It embodies the company’s commitment to pushing design boundaries while maintaining practical functionality, setting new standards for premium smartphone construction in 2025.
