Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch day availability could prove difficult

We’re hearing more about the upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, and it’s not good news for would-be early adopters.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be officially unveiled next month. Following its release, a global launch will occur, raising questions about its pricing and availability for launch. Financial News has started to shed light on these matters.

Samsung plans to sell the new phone in Korea for 1,500,000 won (approximately $1,029) for the 256GB model and 1,630,000 won (around $1,118) for the 512GB version. These prices are reportedly lower than anticipated, but international buyers should expect slightly higher prices. Generally, Samsung phones are more affordable in the company’s home country.

This would place the Galaxy S25 Edge between the Galaxy S25 Plus and the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

In Korea, the 256GB Galaxy S25 Plus is priced at $928, while the 256GB Galaxy S25 Ultra is priced at $1,165. The U.S. prices are $1,000 and $1,300 before any discounts.

There won’t be a 1TB Galaxy S25 Edge model at launch.

If you plan on purchasing a Galaxy S25 Edge, you better be ready for disappointment. A recent report (via SamMobile) indicates initial supply will only number 40,000 units. As a comparison, Samsung sold 1 million Galaxy S25 units in Korea within the first 21 days on the market.

The Galaxy S25 Edge has been the subject of ongoing rumors and is expected to compete with the iPhone 17 Air, set to launch later this year. This Samsung device could be among the slimmest phones, potentially featuring a ceramic rear panel for enhanced durability. Speculation suggests it will have a 6.656-inch display and notable camera upgrades, with some reports indicating a 200-megapixel primary camera. Like other phones in the Galaxy S25 series, the phone is expected to feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip.

Though Samsung has yet to announce the Galaxy S25 Edge, it did tease it at last week’s MWC Barcelona 2025.

Samsung is likely to announce the Galaxy S25 Edge next month, with a May launch to follow.

You could soon ask ChatGPT how healthy your week really was
A rumored Apple Health integration would let AI read your activity and sleep data.

What’s happened? Even though Apple might be moving on to Gemini soon, leaks suggest that ChatGPT hasn't given up on Apple, yet. Recent code analysis of the ChatGPT iPhone app revealed a hidden Apple Health icon, which could be a clue that OpenAI may soon let ChatGPT access data from Apple Health. Though the feature isn’t active yet, the hidden “connector” suggests it could roll out as early as 2026. If implemented, this would allow ChatGPT to read metrics like activity, sleep, diet, breathing, and more (with your permission), and tailor responses based on real health data.

As noted by MacRumors, Strings inside the app reference health categories such as activity, sleep, diet, breathing, and hearing, suggesting the range of data that could be shared.

Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold is cool, but I’m more psyched about the future it teases
It's an eye-catching Android experiment, but it's a sign of better things to come in the near future.
Two formats of Galaxy Z TriFold

Samsung has just given us a demo of what the future is going to look like, if you’re willing to pay a fittingly high amount. The new Galaxy Z TriFold takes the concept of foldable phones, adds an extra fold to it, and changes the device into a proper tablet.

It’s surreal to see a device like that come to life. At least on the global stage. Huawei has already done it a couple of times with the dual-folding Mate XT pair, but that device leaves an exposed screen edge, runs a non-Android experience, and remains far away from the Western markets, including the US.
