Samsung Debuts $1,099 S25 Edge, Kicking Off Wave of Thin Phones

Samsung Electronics Co. on Monday rolled out a slimmed-down Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone, kicking off a wave of drastically thinner handsets expected to launch this year.

The company’s latest device, which goes on sale in the US on May 30 for $1,099, is 5.8 millimeters thick and weighs 163 grams, making it about 30% thinner and 25% lighter than the S25 Ultra, the company’s highest-end smartphone. The new handset is about as light as the base-model S25, but includes more premium features like a titanium frame, 200-megapixel rear camera and high-end artificial intelligence capabilities.
