Like a certain Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060, the Galaxy S25 Edge's launch window keeps getting pushed back. While it was once thought to be scheduled for April 15, before its launch was pushed back to May 13, 2025, we learned from the Korean newspaper The Financial News that the global launch would finally take place on May 30, 2025.
While Samsung has never confirmed none of these launch dates, it is still rare to see the launch window of a product shift so much over the weeks. Should we see this as a certain feverishness from the Korean manufacturer regarding the launch of a brand new member of the Galaxy family? Or should we link this phenomenon to the sudden increase in customs tariffs imposed by Donald Trump's United States, ultimately suspended?
What to expect from the Galaxy S25 Edge?
Limited to its launch in two countries, Korea and China, the device would rely entirely on its thinness, which could fall below the 6mm mark, just like the iPhone 17 Air which should aim for 5.65mm thickness, excluding the camera block.
With such thinness, as one would expect, the device would not have a gigantic battery. This should be close to 3900mAh, a very low capacity, while the standards for high-end devices are rather around 5000mAh and they are starting to look towards 6000mAh with the advent of carbon silicon batteries.
Furthermore, the smartphone would only integrate two photo modules, all for a price that promises to be steep, starting between 1200 and 1300 euros for Europe. Would the comfort provided by the device's thinness make it possible to compensate for these concessions, or even completely make us forget them? The answer will be next month, then. Unless there is a further postponement.
