Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge tease at the end of the company's January Unpacked event stole the spotlight from the rest of the S25 lineup. This slimmer edition of the Galaxy S25 was also available for attendees to see after the keynote but was not available for a closer look.

Ultra-thin phones like the Galaxy S25 Edge are quickly heating up. And I'm looking forward to them, but not because of their thinness.

Remember when Samsung teased a thinner Galaxy S25 at the Unpacked event last month? It’s happening sooner than we imagined. As the flowers bloom and the bees buzz, Samsung will sprout the Galaxy S25 Edge, which we expect to be its thinnest flagship. The Seoul Economic Daily reports that the Galaxy S25 Edge will have its launch event on April 16.

In 2025 phone makers seem to be jumping back on the thickness bandwagon, offering phones that are noticeably skinnier than their flagship counterparts. Samsung is one of the companies attempting that with the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a phone that is rumored to be just 5.84mm thick.

A trusted source has just confirmed the launch month of the Galaxy S25 Edge. Based on Max Jambor’s X post, the phone will arrive in April, as expected. We’ve seen several reports regarding that thus far,

How thin can a smartphone really get? If you ask Samsung, it can go as low as 6.4mm – that’s how thick its upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge will be, making it the slimmest phone in the company’s 2025 lineup.
