Earlier as we speak, I attended the launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Collection<\/a> at Unpacked,<\/strong> the place the Galaxy S25 Extremely<\/strong> stole the present. Samsung saved a shock for the top of the occasion, unveiling the Galaxy S25 Edge<\/strong>, its long-rumored slim telephone<\/strong>. After pushing by a large crowd of journalists, I managed to snap just a few pictures of the machine, showcased on a desk within the demo room.<\/span><\/p>\n The identify \u201cGalaxy S25 Edge\u201d<\/strong> is paying homage to the primary <\/span>Galaxy Notice Edge <\/b><\/a>unveiled at <\/span>IFA 2014<\/b><\/a>, and the <\/span>Galaxy S6 Edge<\/b><\/a> launched in <\/span>March 2015<\/a><\/strong>.<\/strong> These smartphones pioneered curved shows and set the trade normal for practically a decade till Samsung returned to flat screens with final yr\u2019s Galaxy S24.<\/span><\/p>\n Whereas many smartphone fans cheered the return of flat screens, I desire the elegant aesthetics of curved shows. Happily for these followers, regardless of its identify, the S25 Edge incorporates a flat design<\/strong> and an impressively slim profile<\/strong>, making it Samsung\u2019s thinnest machine but.<\/span><\/p>\n The Galaxy S25 Edge<\/strong> is the nemesis of Apple\u2019s upcoming<\/strong> iPhone 17 Air<\/strong>, a slim telephone rumored to launch later this yr.

This modern design saves inner house with out sacrificing battery life, digital camera high quality, or show efficiency. The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to characteristic a 6.6-inch show and a single-lens rear digital camera,<\/strong> positioned as an ultrathin different within the lineup. It’s anticipated to launch in September and <\/span>is rumored<\/span><\/a> to both substitute the iPhone 16 Plus or enter the market as a brand new high-end machine.<\/span><\/p>\n At Unpacked, Samsung was tight-lipped<\/strong> in regards to the Galaxy S25 Edge<\/strong>\u2019s precise specs<\/strong>, together with its thickness. Whereas I couldn\u2019t get immediately in entrance of the machine, I can verify it regarded extremely skinny and featured two rear cameras<\/strong>\u2014another than its rumored Apple competitor.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The one official data Samsung shared got here within the closing moments of the presentation.
