Well, just when fans were marking April 15 on their calendars for Samsung’s slimmest smartphone ever, a twist showed up.
The Galaxy S25 Edge was all set to launch mid-April, but now it seems like we’ll have to wait just a little longer. The new expected launch date? May 13 — but keep your fingers crossed, because some rumors say it could slip into June too.
So… Why the Delay?
Samsung didn’t really say “Hey, we’re delaying the phone!” — but here’s what’s cooking behind the scenes.
Basically it means that something unexpected might’ve happened. The sudden passing of co-CEO Han Jong-hee was a big shock for the company, and it might’ve caused a pause or reshuffling in plans.
Also, technical glitches might be playing peekaboo. Some sources say there could be small issues with the phone’s hardware or design that Samsung wants to fix before launching. Well, I think it can be a smart move—better late than buggy, right?

What Makes the S25 Edge Special?
Even with the delay, the Galaxy S25 Edge is shaping up to be a seriously cool device. Here’s why:
Design & Display
- It’s expected to have a 6.7-inch flat AMOLED screen — super smooth with 120Hz refresh rate.
- Peak brightness? A jaw-dropping 2,600 nits! That’s like looking at sunshine on your screen (but don’t worry, it’s safe).
- Gorilla Glass Victus 2 keeps it safe from drops and scratches.
Performance
- Powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip — the same beast you’ll find in top phones like the OnePlus 13 and Galaxy S25 Ultra.
- Comes with 12GB RAM and lightning-fast UFS 4.0 storage. Basically it means that this phone will zoom through apps and games like a rocket .
Software & Features
- OneUI 7 based on Android 15, with 7 years of updates. That’s a long-term commitment!
- Features like:
- Real-time translation
- Audio eraser
- Transcription assist
- “Now Bar” for smoother multitasking
Well, I think it can really change how we use phones daily.
Battery Life
- It might have a 3,900mAh battery – smaller than the Galaxy S25, but still pretty decent.
- Charges at 25W, which is okay but not the fastest in town.
