Before the unveiling of the Samsung Galaxy S25, SmartPrix and OnLeaks released CAD visuals of the rumored S25 Slim. However, during the Unpacked event, Samsung hinted at the device, revealing that those visuals were not accurate, and even the name “Slim” was a mistake—though Samsung had not officially verified this title. Now, SmartPrix, teaming up with OnLeaks, has shared a new post clarifying the discrepancies in the initial renders and offering fresh details about the Galaxy S25 Edge.
Issues with Initial Leaks
The latest findings indicate that Samsung had been testing two different prototypes of the Galaxy S25 Edge. The earlier leaked visuals were based on an initial prototype equipped with three cameras and a somewhat bulkier design. Ultimately, Samsung opted for a different model—the slimmer prototype B—which features only two cameras and a more compact design. This choice rendered the previous visuals misleading, as the final product differs in both thickness and camera arrangement.
Galaxy S25 Edge: Slimmer Profile, Dual 200MP Cameras
Earlier, it was reported that the S25 Slim would have dimensions of 159 x 76 x 6.4mm. However, the updated report reveals that the Galaxy S25 Edge will actually measure 158.2 x 75.5 x 5.84 mm, making it among the slimmest high-end smartphones available. The report also mentions that thinner devices usually have compromises, and the S25 Edge’s slim design comes with a noticeable camera bump, pushing the total thickness to 10mm. To address this, Samsung has employed a smart design technique—the elongated camera module creates an optical illusion that makes the bump seem less prominent and blends it smoothly with the frame.
Specs and Features
Well-known leaker Ice Universe has mentioned that he has yet to verify these specific measurements but has confirmed that the phone is powered by a 3,900mAh battery. He also pointed out that the camera setup includes a 200-megapixel HP2 main sensor and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, without a dedicated telephoto lens. It seems that Samsung is counting on the 200MP HP2 sensor to manage all zooming needs.
Expected Features of the Galaxy S25 Edge
Reports suggest that the Galaxy S25 Edge comes with premium specifications, like an LTPO OLED display featuring a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 2,600 nits. It maintains Samsung’s Armor Aluminium frame along with Gorilla Glass Victus 2 for protection. While Samsung hasn’t officially disclosed the processor, the S25 Edge is anticipated to be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite, similar to other models in the S25 series. Additional expected features include 12GB of RAM, 512GB storage, One UI 7 based on Android 15, 25W wired charging, and wireless charging capabilities.
Anticipated Launch Date
Samsung is expected to launch the Galaxy S25 Edge sometime in April or May 2025. As more leaks emerge, additional details surrounding the final specifications and possible trade-offs will likely come to light.
