Samsung has teased the Galaxy S25 Edge, highlighting its lightweight and slim design.
According to leakster Ice Universe, the S25 Edge will weigh less than 160g, making it lighter than the Galaxy S25, which weighs 162g.
The last time Samsung introduced a flagship this light was over six years ago with the Galaxy S10, which weighed 157g.
Since then, smartphones have become significantly heavier, making this weight reduction a rare move for a modern premium phone.
The reduced weight is likely due to:
Fewer cameras: The S25 Edge is expected to have only two rear cameras, meaning it will lack a periscope zoom lens, which usually adds bulk.
No advanced cooling system: Samsung may skip high-end cooling technology, further cutting down on weight.
Plastic frame: Reports suggest that the frame may be plastic instead of metal, making it lighter and possibly reducing production costs.
Another well-known tipster, Max Jambor, has stated that the Galaxy S25 Edge is set to launch in Q2 2025, aligning with a possible April release.
With its ultra-lightweight body and slim profile, the Galaxy S25 Edge could appeal to users looking for a sleek and comfortable flagship.
More details on its specs, camera, and pricing are expected in the coming weeks.
