Samsung made waves last week with the unexpected teaser of the Galaxy S25 Edge, a device initially rumoured to launch as the Galaxy S25 Slim. While the company has yet to officially reveal the full specifications, a fresh leak has shed light on the smartphone’s camera system, which appears to differ significantly from earlier rumours. Here’s everything we know about the Galaxy S25 Edge and what differentiates it from its siblings in the S25 lineup.
A Shift in Camera Expectations
Earlier reports suggested that the Galaxy S25 Edge (previously referred to as the Galaxy S25 Slim) would feature a triple-camera setup on the rear, including a 200MP primary sensor, a 50MP telephoto lens, and a 50MP ultrawide shooter. However, new information from a reliable source on X (formerly Twitter) claims that the device will instead sport a dual-camera system. According to the leak, the setup will include a 200MP primary sensor paired with a 12MP ultrawide lens.
The source emphasizes that this information is based on an “internal prototype,” meaning Samsung could still make changes before the final release. That said, the inclusion of a 12MP ultrawide camera aligns with the Galaxy S25 and S25+, which also feature 12MP ultrawide sensors. In contrast, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is expected to come with a more advanced 50MP ultrawide camera, further differentiating it from the Edge model.
Display Protection and Durability
In addition to the camera details, the leak also highlights the display protection on the Galaxy S25 Edge. The device is said to feature Gorilla Glass Victus 2, the same protective glass used on the Galaxy S25 and S25+. This ensures enhanced durability and resistance to scratches and drops. Meanwhile, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is rumored to come with Gorilla Armor 2, offering even greater protection and improved display clarity.
What Else to Expect from the Galaxy S25 Edge?
While the camera and display details are the focus of this leak, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to share several features with its siblings, including a powerful Exynos or Snapdragon chipset (depending on the region), a high-refresh-rate AMOLED display, and support for fast charging and wireless charging. Samsung is also likely to integrate its latest AI-driven software enhancements, further elevating the user experience.
Launch Timeline and Availability
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to debut around April 2024, alongside the rest of the S25 series. As we await more official details from Samsung, the latest leaks suggest that the Edge variant will carve out its niche with a unique dual-camera setup and robust build quality.
