Samsung’s big day is not over yet. Although the presentation of Unpacked 2025 has focused on Galaxy AI and the news of the new Galaxy S25, that is not all that has appeared throughout the event, and there are many details that we will be able to expand upon as the hours go by.
For example, the biggest surprise of the event: the Galaxy S25 Edge. Of course, calling it a ‘surprise’ is perhaps exaggerating, because this is another part of the presentation that had already been leaked a few months ago; The part we didn’t expect is the name. Originally, this device was leaked as the Galaxy S25 Slim, a hint of what it was going to be like; but perhaps that is why Samsung has decided to choose the name Edge for its new model, which will complete the S25 range in the near future.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung’s most innovative mobile phone in many years. To say that it is thin is simply an understatement, since reaching a lower thickness is not as easy as it seems, especially if we do not want sacrifices in the most important areas of the mobile. That is where Samsung’s innovation lies, reducing the thickness while offering an experience very similar or identical to that of the rest of the Galaxy S25 range.
For example, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to use ALoP technologypresented last year, for the cameras; specifically, for the telephoto camera, which usually takes up a lot of space on the device due to the lenses necessary for optical zoom.
Samsung’s solution places the lenses horizontally to avoid this problem without reducing the zoom level. The Galaxy Unpacked preview video showed off this new camera, confirming that it will use it.

In the same way, the short video also focused for a moment on the battery of the Galaxy S25 Edge, which uses the new battery technology from Samsung. Instead of stacking the cells, this technology allows the area occupied by the battery inside the mobile to be expanded, to reduce the thickness without reducing capacity. Therefore, the Galaxy S25 Edge should last about the same as a Galaxy S25, or even a Galaxy S25 Ultra according to rumors.

EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre has been able to see some models of the Galaxy S25 Edge in person, and the first impressions are shocking. It is a very thin and light device, and surprisingly, it has its own design lines instead of using the same design as the rest of the Galaxy S25 range.

This original design is evident in the camera array, which has a completely new design. The big difference is the ‘island’ in which the lenses are housed, unlike the Galaxy S25, whose lenses come directly from the back of the devices. It is very possible that this island was necessary for the space occupied by the cameras, even with Samsung technology, and that makes this device easily recognizable.
At the moment, Samsung has not given more details about this new device, both the ‘hardware’ used and the expected launch date; There are likely still several months of development left, considering there were no functional units in Unpacked.
