Samsung surprised attendees at its Galaxy Unpacked event by briefly showcasing the Galaxy S25 Edge. This ultra-slim flagship, with a boxy design and minimal bezels, hints at a return to the era of incredibly thin, potentially fragile smartphones.
While specifications remain scarce, a Samsung South Africa representative supposedly confirmed a limited initial rollout in select markets, including the US and South Korea.
The Galaxy S25 Edge's arrival follows years of thicker, more robust phone designs. It remains to be seen whether consumers will embrace a slimmer form factor, potentially at the expense of battery capacity and other internal components.
This move by Samsung echoes Apple's rumoured iPhone Air, suggesting a renewed industry interest in ultra-slim designs.
