Samsung has reportedly pushed back the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge, originally expected in April. According to a new leak, the flagship device will now be officially unveiled on May 13.
While the reason for the delay remains unclear, the postponement is relatively minor—just about a month later than the previously rumored April 15 launch date.
Why Is the Galaxy S25 Edge Delayed?
Speculation suggests the delay isn’t due to quality issues but could be linked to recent management changes at Samsung. The passing of Jong-Hee Han, the head of Samsung DX, may have influenced internal restructuring, causing a shift in the company’s timeline.
No In-Person Unpacked Event
Unlike some of Samsung’s previous flagship launches, the Galaxy S25 Edge will not be introduced at a large, in-person Unpacked event. Instead, Samsung is expected to host an online presentation on May 13. However, there is no confirmation yet on the device’s exact availability date—though it could still hit shelves later in May.
Galaxy S25 Edge: Rumored Features & Pricing
Leaks suggest that the S25 Edge will feature the same display as the Galaxy S25+, along with top-tier specs:
Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset
12GB RAM
256GB or 512GB storage
200MP main camera + ultrawide sensor
Three color options: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue
In terms of pricing, the Galaxy S25 Edge is rumored to launch in the Eurozone at €1,249, making it €100 more expensive than the Galaxy S25+. Samsung is also reportedly producing around three million units of the device.
With the Galaxy S25 Edge now expected to debut on May 13, Samsung fans have just a little longer to wait for the official reveal. While the delay remains a mystery, it doesn’t appear to be a major setback. The lack of an in-person Unpacked event might disappoint some, but the device’s powerful specs, high-end camera system, and premium design are sure to generate excitement. As we get closer to the launch, more details about availability and pre-orders should emerge, giving consumers a clearer picture of what to expect.
