Last year, Samsung introduced its latest flagships, including the Galaxy S25 Edge, featuring a slim form factor that awed and disappointed at the same time.

Over the past decade, smartphones have emphasized the display size, especially the flagship phones such as the Galaxy Ultra. The two things that remain consistent in these flagships are their sheer width and heavy weight.

After launching the screen sizes for different hand sizes, Samsung started focusing on reducing the width and the thickness. That’s where the Galaxy S25 Edge device kicks in. At the first Unpacked event of 2025, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 series, including the Standard, Plus, and Ultra. By the end of the event, a new phone teaser appeared out of nowhere for the Galaxy S25 Edge.

The phone debuted in May with only a 5.8mm thin design, and weighs only 163 grams, taking the slim form factor to the next level. It offered high-end features such as a 200MP main camera and a 12MP ultra-wide-angle camera alongside a 12MP selfie camera.

The display was 6.7-inch, it equipped a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a titanium design, and was protected with an IP68 rating. However, its biggest flaw was the 3,900mAh battery, which goes below the standard S25, offering a 4000mAh battery with an extra camera.

Many of the industry observers noted the low-battery capacity, which may not be a big issue, but the price tag of $1,099 raised eyebrows due to the most noteworthy sacrifices.

The initial response to the device was commendable; customers were buying the phones in Korea, but its sales in the global market remained mild. This short-lived fame turned into major despair as Korean media flagged the sales as “underwhelming”.

The arrival of S25 Edge was seen as a possible candidate to replace the Plus and make a place in the S26 series. However, the poor sales performance has made the company stay away from such thoughts.

Stock is running out

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Edge is nearing out of stock on the official website in the U.S. Only one color from the 256GB and 512Gb version is available to order. You may still similar situation on carier locked models, and Amazon is no longer shipping this phone anywhere in the U.S. either.

As we approach the next-gen S-series, the Galaxy S25 Edge is finally seeing Samsung’s back turn against it, and it’s for the good. Maybe Samsung has plans to introduce a successor in May or June this year, just like last year. We’ll keep you posted.
