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.

With Blass’ exceptional track record, the leak nearly confirms a launch for May 13, as recently indicated in a news report out of Korea. Samsung’s seemingly intentional use of Italian in the poster, however, contradicts the earlier report which said the May 13 date is reserved for launches in South Korea, while other regions will get their announcements a week later. Blass’ leak, instead, indicates global launches might synchronize, which should bring the phone to the markets sooner than we thought previously.

As for the specifications revealed through earlier leaks and rumors, the Galaxy S25 Edge will be stocked with the same overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset as the other S25 models. Despite the thin-and-light profile, the phone will swank a 6.7-inch AMOLED display. There are two cameras instead of the usual three, with Samsung presumably skipping out on a telephoto camera — through the 200MP primary will be onboard for most of the photography duties. Meanwhile, the battery will go under the lathe for a slimmer build, leading to a smaller capacity that even the base Galaxy S25.

We expect this leak to be true and, therefore, shouldn’t have to wait much longer to learn everything about this slick new model that Samsung aims to pit against Apple’s rumored iPhone 17 Air.

Google is making it easier to adapt Android apps for laptops and foldable phones
Google is helping developers make Android apps work beyond smartphones

Google updated its adaptive Compose skill to help developers adapt existing Android apps for laptops, foldable phones, tablets, and other form factors, including the upcoming Googlebook platform. The goal of this update is to help AI coding agents customize apps for different screen sizes and input methods without developers having to maintain separate codebases for different devices.

The new skill goes beyond responsive layouts, adding support for desktop-focused features and foldable-specific interface adjustments. Google is also signaling that adaptive app experiences will be more prominent on Google Play, with the company planning to pay more attention to how apps and games perform on foldable devices next year.

A tiny smartphone gadget can detect some of the nastiest chemicals in your water
Scientists built a tiny smartphone gadget that can spot toxic 'forever chemicals'
Smartphone-connected drinking water safety sensor Featured

What if checking your drinking water for dangerous chemicals were as simple as plugging a tiny gadget into your smartphone? Researchers in Japan have developed a compact sensor that could make that possible, potentially bringing sophisticated water contamination testing out of expensive laboratories and into people's hands.

Scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have created a portable device capable of detecting extremely low concentrations of PFAS, commonly known as "forever chemicals." The findings were published in the journal Biosensors and Bioelectronics, which demonstrate how an inexpensive sensor and a smartphone could make identifying potentially harmful chemicals in water a lot easier.
