New Samsung Galaxy phone confirmed to join S25 – | Tech News

Samsung has not left a lot to the creativeness with its subsequent smartphone launch. Having bodily proven off its upcoming, very skinny Galaxy S25 Edge back in January (and again at Mobile World Congress in March), the company has confirmed it’s set to unveil the machine correctly this week.

“Join us online on 13 May at 1am BST as we introduce the next evolution of Galaxy,” Samsung stated. “Discover how Galaxy engineers built on years of innovation and visionary thinking shaped by you to reimagine everything you expect from a smartphone.”

You learn that appropriately, British Samsung followers. You’ll have to get up at 1am on Tuesday if you need to watch Samsung reveal all concerning the S25 Edge dwell. That may very well be as a result of the phone is rumoured not to be launching within the UK or US – 1am UK time is friendlier to viewers in South Korea, Samsung’s home nation, and China.

Whatever the reasoning for the odd time, Samsung is speaking a massive recreation about a phone that’s principally a few millimetres thinner than the common S25 and has one fewer digital camera lenses on the back (two somewhat than three).

“This is more than a slim smartphone,” Samsung stated. “Every curve, contour and component reflects a breakthrough in precise engineering to create a premium experience worthy of the S series name. The Galaxy S25 Edge not only sets a new standard for what you can achieve with your smartphone, but it also unlocks a new era of growth for the mobile industry.”

The phone, which I photographed at MWC (above), brings back the ‘edge’ branding Samsung as soon as used to point out these fashions had curved edges to their shows, however the final phone to use the moniker was 2016’s Galaxy S7 Edge. As Samsung has moved back to flat panels, it appears to be like as if this Edge is referring to its thinness, in any other case used for nostalgic model causes.

In a press release, Samsung confirmed the S25 Edge can have a 200MP primary digital camera, saying it comes with “mobile AI that empowers users to reach new creative realms in every aspect of mobile photography”.

Smartphone launch hyperbole all current and proper, then.

One of the principle issues Samsung hasn’t confirmed is the price. Assuming the S25 Edge does come out within the UK, it may very well be pushing the asking price of the £1,249 Galaxy S25 Ultra.

It’ll even be attention-grabbing to see if shoppers are bothered. Smartphones used to be a lot thinner, say with the iPhone 6 or Galaxy S6 back within the day, however these telephones actually bent when sat on and had horrible battery life, respectively.

It appears to be like as if phone makers are betting on skinny being in again although, as Apple is rumoured to be teeing up a thinner model of the iPhone 17. Samsung will get its S25 Edge to market first, however it stays to be seen if these possible pricier, thinner fashions will likely be widespread with consumers.
