Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a 5.8mm slim design and a 200MP camera—but it lacks at least one display feature of the Galaxy S25 Ultra: the anti-reflective coating. A separate anti-reflective film could be sold instead, according to the latest leak.
No Corning Gorilla Armor 2 on the S25 Edge
The Edge skips the S25 Ultra’s Corning Gorilla Armor 2 and its signature anti-reflective coating. However, the back of the phone could still use Gorilla Glass Victus 2, just like the Ultra model. This anti-reflective display tech first appeared on the S24 Ultra as part of the Gorilla Armor protection. For S24 Ultra users considering a switch, outdoor visibility could feel like a step down—at least for the first few months.
That said, it may not be a deal breaker for those willing to apply a screen protector. Samsung is reportedly planning to offer an optional anti-reflective film for the Edge. Unfortunately, pricing details remain under wraps.
The Galaxy S25 Edge, set to debut in an online-only event on May 13th, boasts flagship specs: a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 12GB of RAM, and a 6.7-inch QHD+ AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Its 200MP main and 12MP ultrawide cameras, along with a 12MP selfie lens, aren’t a huge downgrade from the S25 Ultra. The IP68 rating ensures protection from dust and water. At just 5.8mm, it’s Samsung’s thinnest Galaxy phone yet—beating the 8.2mm S25 Ultra.
Was the omission made to maintain the Edge’s razor-thin profile—or to cut costs? After all, the Edge is positioned below the S25 Ultra, and unlike the Ultra, its design likely required some research and development.. The phone is expected to launch at around $1,099 in the US and approximately €1,249 in Europe.
Will the film option be enough to satisfy users, or does skipping the coating dull the Edge’s appeal? The May 13 reveal should clarify.
