The Galaxy S25 Edge has been in the conversation for quite a while, which was rescheduled to launch on May 13. Now, thanks to a new leak, we have the expected pricing of the phone, and it could be a bit difficult to swallow.
Specification wise, the phone includes only two cameras on the back. And while the slick form factor may convince you to accept the smaller battery capacity, a significant proportion of recently launched Android devices already pack massive battery capacity thanks to the high density Si/C battery tech, which Samsung could use for this slim phone for a little bit of extra cost.
Galaxy S25 Edge is more expensive than the almost perfect S25+
The Galaxy S25 Edge has been spotted on Italian online store Zanetti, and the 256GB and 512GB models are priced at €1,362 and €1,488 respectively. This is higher than the initially expected pricing for the European markets. For comparison, the 256GB and 512GB variants of the S25+ are sold for €1,247 and €1,372 in the region. So the S25 Edge will cost over a €100 more than the S25+—as far as this listing is to be believed.
Notably, prices can vary in different markets, so you cannot really convert the pricing for your region to get to know how much you need to save. But it at least offers us an idea of the price tag relative to the other models.
The raw performance capability of this phone has improved over time: it scored 2969 and 9486 in single and multi-core Geekbench CPU tests. However, it doesn’t really reflect sustained performance under a heavy workload. The phone is slimmer, and the cooling system is likely inferior to the one on the S25+. So we will have to wait for the real-life tests. On the software side, the phone is expected co pre-installed with One UI 7, the stable version of which is finally rolling out to some older flagships starting today.
