TL;DR
- The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will apparently be slimmer than initially reported.
- The telephone may very well be 5.84mm thick in comparison with the beforehand reported 6.4mm determine.
- Sadly, the telephone will reportedly pack a smaller battery than even the Galaxy S25 and Z Flip 6.
Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 sequence final month, nevertheless it additionally teased the Galaxy S25 Edge and confirmed off the slim telephone’s design. Now, it looks as if the machine may very well be thinner than first reported.
SmartPrix and leaker Steve ‘OnLeaks’ Hemmerstoffer report that the Galaxy S25 Edge will truly be 5.84mm skinny as a substitute of the beforehand rumored 6.4mm thickness. That is ostensibly a part of a bid to beat the rumored iPhone 17 Air. Extra particularly, the telephone is alleged to measure 158.2 x 75.5 x 5.84mm. The publication additionally famous that the S25 Edge was truly 10mm thick when accounting for the rear digicam bump.
The outlet claimed that Samsung had truly developed two prototypes. The primary one was 6.4mm thick and had a triple digicam system, whereas the second prototype was 5.84mm thick and had two rear cameras. For sure, it looks as if Samsung took the latter course for the industrial machine. It presumably felt that having a super-thin telephone was value dropping a digicam.

This thinner design comes with some compromises, although. Samsung beforehand confirmed a twin rear digicam system as a substitute of the triple digicam setup seen on stablemates, however the outlet claims this may encompass a 200MP foremost digicam and a 50MP ultrawide lens. This may be a serious departure from earlier leaks which pointed to a telephoto shooter. Don’t count on nice zoomed photographs, though the 200MP foremost digicam ought to ship respectable 2x and 3x snaps.
One other reported compromise is the three,900mAh battery, which might truly be barely smaller than the Galaxy S25 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 batteries. The telephone can be slated to get 25W wired charging, nicely behind the S25 Plus and S25 Extremely’s 45W speeds.
In any other case, outlet claims the telephone will get an eight-core Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The slim kind issue may make sufficient cooling a problem, notably in mild of different Snapdragon 8 Elite telephones overheating, so we hope Samsung takes this under consideration.
