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.

This means a 12MP selfie camera, and SammyGuru also says that we’re getting a 1/3.2-inch sensor. That’s the same kind of camera as the one we’ve seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and should result in flagship-worthy selfies on the more compact smartphone. It’s unclear whether the camera will feature the same sensor as the S25 Ultra, but odds are that it is.

If this leak turns out to be true, it’ll be an improvement over previous whispers in regards to the selfie camera on the S25 Edge. Previous tips pointed to a 10MP selfie camera, but it looks like we might get the same 12MP as the S25 Ultra. In our review of the device, we weren’t all too impressed by the main camera, but it’s still unclear what the stats will be for the S25 Edge in that regard. The ultrawide camera might either feature a 12MP or a 50MP sensor, and the primary camera might also be shared with the S25 Ultra, with rumors pointing toward a 200MP model.

What’s on the inside? First of all, the phone is said to be really thin, measuring at just 5.8mm. Speculation also points toward the same Snapdragon 8 Elite “For Galaxy” chip as the rest of the lineup, combined with 12GB of RAM.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is said to launch on May 13 during an Unpacked event, with pre-orders to follow on May 24.

Samsung introduced a new display feature with the Galaxy S24 Ultra and has only improved it on its latest flagship. The Galaxy S25 Ultra’s screen lies under the protection of Corning Gorilla Armor 2, which is a step above the typical Corning Gorilla Glass found on most smartphones.

The Gorilla Armor series debuted with last year’s Galaxy S24 Ultra and brought anti-reflective properties that claimed to lower surface reflections by “up to 75 percent.” It was a genuine quality-of-life upgrade as it improved screen visibility in harsh lighting and enhanced durability. It delivered over four times better scratch resistance and up to three times better drop resistance compared to “competitive aluminosilicate cover classes.”

We're just a week away from Samsung unveiling the latest addition to its Galaxy S25 series lineup, and we've already seen leaks of the specs and images of Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Edge. At 5.8 mm thick, it's expected to be the world's thinnest modern smartphone, and it's also likely to feature a dual camera with a 200MP main telephoto lens.

Samsung is likely to reveal a lot more during its expected keynote next Monday, but like the best folding phones, a thin or folding display often means challenges with durability. Today, Samsung has revealed a plan for this, and the Galaxy S25 Edge will be the first smartphone to feature the new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.

Samsung has finally revealed the official launch date for its upcoming slim-and-light phone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. After several months of teasing and even showcasing the phone at multiple events, Samsung will finally let people hold the iPhone 17 Air competitor in their hands and add a perception of slimness to our imagination. May 13, as also leaked previously, is the day when Samsung will formally announce the Galaxy S25 Edge globally.

In a newsroom post, Samsung has revealed that the launch event will be hosted online on May 13 at 9 a.m. Korea time. That translates to 1 a.m. in London, 8 p.m. of May 12 in New York time, and 5 p.m. in California. It looks like a single online event will substitute for multiple regional launches.
