Galaxy S25 Edge — WinFuture

Two highly anticipated smartphone models are set to launch before the end of the year: Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge and Apple’s iPhone 17 Air. Newly released images of the Galaxy S25 Edge, scheduled to arrive this month, reveal a striking resemblance to rumored images of the iPhone 17 Air, which is expected to hit the market in September.

The Galaxy S25 Edge, which Samsung teased earlier this year, will arrive on May 13. When the phone launches, it’s expected to be one of the thinnest smartphones in the world.

As seen in the latest images, courtesy of WinFuture, the new phone is indeed thin, likely measuring just 5.85 millimeters in thickness. It’s anticipated to feature a 6.7-inch AMOLED panel with a 3120 x 1440 pixel resolution and a dynamic refresh rate of 120 Hertz.

On the back, there should be a vertically placed dual camera system, featuring a 200MP primary sensor for high-quality photography and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. On the front, there should be a 12MP camera for selfies and video calls.

Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Edge is likely to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, ensuring smooth performance and efficient multitasking. It will come with 12GB of RAM and storage options of 256GB and 512GB.

Now, lets turn to the iPhone 17 Air.

If the latest rumors are to be believed, this phone should be about 5.5mm thick, feature a 6.6-inch LTPO display, and be powered by the upcoming Apple A19 chipset. The first-generation iPhone Air should offer a single rear camera instead of a dual rear camera like the one on the Galaxy S25 Edge. The camera placement on the back of the phone should be horizontal, which might remind many of the Google Pixel 9.

When viewed from the side, the iPhone 17 Air and Galaxy S25 Edge also look similar:

Clearly, the phones don’t share the same appearance. However, when you combine the design of each phone with its probable specifications, the similarity is striking. Naturally, when discussing slim phones, just how different can they really appear? Not much.

When the Galaxy S25 Edge arrives, it will become the fourth phone in the Galaxy S25 series, which also includes the Galaxy S25, Galaxy S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be announced in September alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max.

My adventure with the Galaxy S25 Ultra only confirmed how I feel about it

A person holding the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra.

As I prepared for a long weekend break, I wanted to take a capable Android phone with a good camera with me, ready to capture my adventures. I put my SIM card into a fresh Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and set the phone up purely for entertainment, as I wanted to ignore work emails and messages as much as possible. I spent four days with the phone, and here’s what I discovered revisiting the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

The shape is still a problem

Galaxy S25 Edge announcement date is confirmed, and it’s better than expected

Not much of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge remains a secret. Samsung proudly showcased the design at least twice at two major events, and an outpouring of leaks has enforced a good impression of what to expect from the soon-to-launch thin-and-light phone. While its launch remains certain, and at the mercy of unconfirmed and conflicting rumors, a fresh new leak gives a convincingly good idea of when the phone launches finally.

Leaker Evan Blass has shared an official-looking poster, which potentially hints at the Galaxy S25 Edge launch. The tagline in use, "Beyond slim," fits the phone perfectly, following previous leaks suggesting it would be just 5.8 in thickness (excluding the camera bump). The poster also points at the launch date of "13 maggio 2025," where "maggio" is the Italian name for the month of May.

Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge could have a surprisingly solid camera

One of Samsung's upcoming best smartphones is getting closer and closer to its rumored release date, and as we get there, more and more specs begin to leak out. Today, we learned that the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge might have a camera that will rival some of its much larger rivals.

The leak comes from SammyGuru, which managed to spot an interesting detail on a Samsung shipping manifest. According to the publication's findings, the S25 Edge will have the same selfie camera as other phones in the S25 lineup, which would spell good news for the Android flagship. After all, being more compact, one might expect the camera to take a hit, but so far, that doesn't seem to be the case.
