Samsung has officially launched its highly anticipated smartphone for 2025, the Galaxy S25 Edge. After months of teasing, the company unveiled the device at the MWC 2025 event. This new addition to the S-series boasts a sleek profile, featuring a titanium frame and a 200-megapixel camera, making it one of the most stylish smartphones from the South Korean giant to date.
The pricing reflects the premium nature of the handset. The 12GB RAM + 256GB model is available for Rs. 1,09,999, while the 512GB variant is priced at Rs. 1,21,999. However, customers who pre-order the device can take advantage of an offer to purchase the 512GB model for the price of the 256GB version. Now that the device is officially available, here’s a closer look at its features.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has a thickness of just 5.8mm and weighs 163 grams.

This model stands out with its slim dimensions and lightweight construction, weighing just 163 grams, which is notably lighter than the Galaxy S25 Plus.

The front of the phone presents an almost bezel-less display, complemented by a notch at the top center for the front camera. Controls for volume are located on the right side, along with a power button, though bigger hands might find them more accessible than users with smaller hands.
