Earlier this year, Samsung released its highly anticipated Galaxy S25 lineup with a boatload of front-facing changes. While the devices are a major step up in all the right directions, the company has kept most of the design esthetics from last year. The company also showcased its upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge, a new model that would rival the likes of the iPhone 17 Air this year. It was speculated that the Galaxy S25 Edge would be released in April, potentially on the 15th, but it is now being reported that the device has been delayed until May or June.
Samsung delays the launch of its thinnest Galaxy S25 Edge flagship smartphone until May or June
We have previously reported that Samsung will launch the Galaxy S25 Edge, its slimmest Galaxy ever, in April, but it appears that the smartphone has seen a slight last-minute delay. The delay could push the launch date to either May or June, but we are glad the device has not hit a major hiccup. According to ETNews, Samsung's Galaxy S25 Edge launch could happen in May or June of this year, posing a month or two delay.
Leakers Ice Universe and Max Jambor have also corroborated the news and suggested similar time frames for the Galaxy S25 Edge release, which only gives us more clarity on the launch. At this point, we are not familiar with why Samsung has decided to delay the launch of its thinnest Galaxy, but based on the information, it is not due to quality issues. This is a good sign, as any hurdles in design or manufacturing could bring about significant delays.
On the flip side, one report claims that Samsung has an internal "need to reexamine the schedule," which could be part of the company's strategy to position its product against the iPhone 17 Air, but there are no concrete details available on this matter. Moreover, it is also possible that Samsung will see fit to launch the Galaxy S25 Edge alongside the next Galaxy Z Fold and Galaxy Z Flip lineup. The readjustment could also mean that the company will shift from in-person to online-only events.
The online-only event will include a "teaser video" of the Galaxy S25 Edge, detailing its flagship features, the new thinner form factor, price, internal specifications, and the final release date. If Samsung does not launch the Galaxy S25 Edge alongside its foldable, it will add another event to its schedule. We will keep a close eye on the launch timeframe, so be sure to stick around for more details.
