The new ultra-slim Galaxy S25 Edge will be announced on April 16 and made available in May after its Unpacked event. Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Edge will reportedly come in three colors: Light Blue, Black, and Silver, with a small initial production run of 40,000 units which is less than 1% of Samsung's monthly smartphone production volume.

Samsung's new Galaxy S25 Edge is a strategic product for the company, as it will beat Apple's new ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air that is rumored for later this year. The new S25 Edge will also make for the fourth model in the Galaxy S family of smartphones, since the release of the Galaxy S10 series in 2019. The Galaxy S20 family had four products: the S10e, S10, S10 Plus, and S10 5G handsets. Starting with the Galaxy S20 series, Samsung had just three variants: Regular, Plus, and Ultra versions.
