Samsung just blurted out the Galaxy S25 Edge’s ‘official’ pricing and storage options

Samsung has been quite a tease with its upcoming razor-thin (only, figuratively!) phone, first showcasing it at the Unpacked event back in January. Since then, the barrage of leaks has been let loose, giving us practically every piece of information -- though mostly unverified -- about Galaxy S25 Edge.

Just a day after we learned that, we have learned about the Galaxy S25 Edge's official pricing and storage options, and the leak comes not from a third party but Samsung itself.

While much of the attention now focuses on the incoming Galaxy S25 Edge, we’re beginning to understand better what to expect from Samsung’s Galaxy S26 lineup. At a minimum, we’re starting to outline what we’d like to see in the 2026 phones, which should launch in January.

Will the lineup once again feature three models, or will a Galaxy S26 Edge be revealed at the same time? Will we finally see massive design changes to Samsung’s most popular phone series, or should we expect more of the same?
