The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is flying towards the Center for Care in the thin wings of Gossamer on May 12. Samsung is hosting an «unpacked» event, totally virtual this time, to share details about the super thin smartphone that is thicker than a USB-C load port. The virtual event will take place on May 12 at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT. You can see live broadcast Samsung website or your officer YouTube channel. However, do not expect new versions of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 and Galaxy Z Fold 6, they are likely to be in a separate event this summer.
Samsung showed the Galaxy S25 EDGE for the first time in its released event of January. The company buried the news for the phone as the «most thing» for the event, but did not offer many more details than highlight its thin framework. The anticipated April launch date did not work, and Samsung has not yet entered details about the device. In a statement, Samsung said the S25 Edge is «more than a thin intelligent phone» that «unlocks a new era of growth for the mobile industry.»
What can we expect more than executives who boast of the thinness of the phone? Boasting about the camera, maybe. The company confirmed that its thin device houses a 200 megapixel camera that can be based on the main sensor found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but we will have to see if it has the same zoom levels. The images show that the phone has two lenses compared to three or five that are in the other Android phones of Samsung. Samsung has said previously that S25 EDGE cameras have «Pro-Drafted Capabilities», which implies that they will have access to the Samsung photo editing tools. It is likely that the phone is also designed with the in mind, with at least some of the generative tools for the edge and creation of AI available on current Galaxy phones.

The Galaxy Maker will need to convince us why we should want a super thin phone. The rumors suggest that Apple will launch its own skinny phone, the air of the iPhone 17, and could recover an external battery box to compensate for what the sources have described as a more limited battery compared to regular and professional iPhones. Ultimately, Samsung needs to demonstrate that users will not sacrifice too much for a slightly thinner and slightly lighter device.
