Samsung reveals Galaxy S25 Edge details ahead of launch

Samsung is being unusually open about its next major device launch.

Yesterday, the company sent invites to members of the media for its next Samsung Unpacked event, which is taking place on Monday, May 12 at 8 p.m. ET. With the tagline "Beyond slim" featured on the invite, it was quite clear that we're going to see the company's previously teased, super-slim Galaxy S25 Edge phone.

In a press release, Samsung put an end to speculation (not that there was much to speculate about, given how thoroughly leaked this phone has been). Yes, we'll see the new Galaxy S25 Edge on Monday.

According to Samsung, it's "both a powerful AI companion and an engineering marvel, merging flagship-level performance with superior portability."

The company stopped short of sharing actual specs, but did say that the phone will come with a 200-megapixel main camera. There's also a (surprise!) heavy emphasis on AI, which will be helping users capture, edit, and share that perfect photo, as well as offer info about the world around you through the camera lens.

As for that slim design, Samsung says that "every curve, contour and component reflects a breakthrough in precise engineering to create a premium experience worthy of the S series name."

I've actually seen the phone in the flesh (though Samsung did not allow touching), as the company brought it to this year's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. It's...eh, pretty thin, but don't expect miracles, and that camera bump is pretty hefty, too.
