Samsung has unveiled its new 'Galaxy S25 Edge,' competing with the wobbly iPhone 17 Air.

Samsung announced several announcements centered around the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra during today's 2025 Unpacked event.

At the end of this event, Samsung revealed an amazing preview for a potential excellent thin Galaxy S25 Edge launch. Samsung's preview comes before the expected iPhone 17 Air release from Apple in the second half of this year.

Today's Unpacked 2025 event was attended comfortably by 9to5Google friends. The preview for the Galaxy S25 Edge did not reveal many details about the device. While the exact release date is still unknown, rumors suggest it could be released in April or May. Samsung has also not publicly disclosed the specifications of this device. Today's preview contains very little information other than the name 'Galaxy S25 Edge.'

According to a report from the beginning of this month, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be manufactured with a thickness of approximately 6.4mm. However, Apple's iPhone 17 Air is known to have a thickness of about 5.5mm at its thinnest point.

Samsung began developing the Galaxy S25 Edge after rumors of Apple's iPhone 17 Air flow in May last year, according to some supply chain reports.

According to a leaked render shared by SmartPrice at the beginning of this month, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to have three cameras on the back. In contrast, it is expected that the iPhone 17 Air will have a single 48MP camera in a horizontal "camera bar" style design.

TM Roh, Samsung Mobile's CEO, explained the idea behind the Galaxy S25 Edge during an interview with Bloomberg today:

The Edge will use some of the same technology as the new Ultra model but will be arranged within a more streamlined design. Customers want 'the best performance, the best camera features, and the best AI' but also something that makes them stand out in the market with an attractive appearance," Roh said during the interview.

He added, "We are trying to combine all the strengths of S25 Ultra into a more form factor."

"Our goal is to position this at a price lower than the Ultra models, making it more accessible and attracting more customers," Park said.
