At its January Unpacked event, Samsung focused on showing off the features of its new line of phones, the S25 series, and (frankly underwhelming) updates to Galaxy AI. But tacked onto the very end of the presentation – it quite literally had a “that’s not all…” slide – was a brief glimpse of appears to be a new Galaxy Edge.
The sizzle reel was a whirlwind gallery of the new phone’s components that combined into a shadowy device with “Samsung Edge” on the screen right before the credits rolled. Outside of the name, no other details were announced, and Samsung has not made any official statements since the event ended.
This is the first teaser for the next generation of Edge phones, the last of which – the Galaxy S7 Edge – was released back in 2016. This new device is rumored to be a “slim” version, according to photos that leaked last week, and will allegedly be 6.4mm thick. (The thinnest of the new S25 lineup, which will be available February 7 and is availble to preorder now, is the standard model at 7.2mm.)
Apparently, 2025 is the year of the super-skinny phone: Apple is also supposedly launching the iPhone Air in its next wave of phone announcements sometime this year. Industry experts are speculating that it will measure between 5–6mm, which would beat the iPhone 6, the current record holder for slimmest iPhone, by at least .9mm.
