We may have a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch date, and it’s soon

The pending launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has been the subject of plenty of speculation, but it now seems that we’ve got a date for the announcement of this phone: April 15, 2025.

It comes just 2 months after the launch of the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S25 family, while being teased at Galaxy Unpacked, so we all knew this new slim phone was coming. The confirmation doesn’t come from Samsung itself – so there’s still potential that this could be wrong – but there’s now alignment across a couple of sources.

We’d previously seen it reported by Seoul Economic Daily that the phone would be announced on April 16. Now we have a Dutch phone seller telling us that the announcement will happen on April 16. Given how time zones work, it’s perfectly plausible that both can be correct.

This new source goes on to detail the model numbers for the new devices, saying that it will come in silver, blue and black and that you’ll be able to get 256 or 512GB versions of each model. Beyond that we learn that silicone and Kindsuit cases will be launched for the new devices too.

The exact price of the Galaxy S25 Edge remains a mystery, but we’ve previously reported that it will be priced somewhere between the Galaxy S25 Plus and the S25 Ultra. That’s going to make this slim phone pretty expensive for what you get, but it’s also likely to be popular phone thanks to shift in design.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is said to be 5.75mm thick, with a titanium alloy frame, so those colours will be Titanium Icyblue, Titanium Silver and Titanium Jetblack.

The display is said to be around 6.7-inches, while we’re expecting Snapdragon 8 Elite power driving this phone. The battery might shrink to 3,900mAh, so the cost of going slim – apart from the cost on your pocket – might be the battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be produced in limited quantities and, despite the cost, I’m expecting it to be one of the hottest phones of the year.

Samsung finally switched to silicon-carbon battery on Galaxy Z Fold 8. What’s so special about it?

Samsung has finally joined the silicon-carbon battery race with its latest batch of premium foldables packing the new battery tech. But details for this change were rather hard to spot on the spec sheets. The company has confirmed during media briefings that the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Flip 8 all use silicon-carbon batteries.

Even then, the resulting capacities are hardly record-breaking. The Fold 8 Ultra carries a 5,000mAh battery, the regular Fold 8 gets 4,800mAh, and the Flip 8 has 4,300mAh. Rivals from Honor and Motorola have already crossed the 6,000mAh mark. But the figures only tell part of the story.

I’ve used foldable phones for years. Here’s how to pick the right one between the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and Flip 8
Samsung’s three new foldables solve very different problems

After years of reviewing foldable smartphones, I have learned that choosing one involves much more than what looks pretty or how large you want. Book-style foldables are usually sold as productivity machines, while flip phones cater to people who value portability. Samsung’s latest lineup complicates that choice by introducing two very different book-style models alongside its familiar clamshell.

Most of their shared specifications fade into the background once you start using them. Their shapes and screens have a much greater impact on daily life. So here's how I'd make a decision when choosing between the new Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold 8, and Galaxy Z Flip 8.

How to set up selfie video sign-in for your Google account
Your face can now serve as a way to get back into your Google account. Here's how to set it up.

Losing access to a Google account is rarely a quick fix, but Google has been actively working to make things easier. Last year, the company introduced a feature called Recovery Contacts that lets you designate a trusted friend or family member to verify your identity if you ever get locked out. Now, Google has introduced a new option, one that uses your face to get you back in instead of a phone call to a friend.

Like Recovery Contacts, the new selfie video authentication feature requires some setup before you can use your face to sign into your Google account. This involves recording the reference video that Google will use to verify your identity whenever you attempt to log in this way. Here's how to set up selfie video sign-in for your Google account.
