When unveiling the new Galaxy S25 lineup today, Samsung did a "one more thing" announcement, introducing an additional Galaxy smartphone that's set to come out later this year.The Galaxy S25 Edge appears to be aimed at the iPhone 17 Air, a rumored ultra thin iPhone that's set to debut this September.Samsung only teased the Galaxy S25 Edge, but the device is set to launch in the first half of 2025.
With a debut date before September, Samsung will beat Apple and will be able to launch a super thin smartphone first.Little information is available on the Galaxy S25 Edge, but it appears to be a thinner variation of the Galaxy S25.Samsung plans to price it below the $1300 S25 Ultra, suggesting it will be a middle-tier device with lower specs due to thinness, which is exactly what we're expecting from the iPhone 17 Air.
Rumors suggest that Apple's upcoming super thin iPhone will have a 6.6-inch display and a chassis that's somewhere between 5.5mm and 6mm, making it the thinnest iPhone to date.It will have lower battery capacity and a single-lens rear camera due to space constraints, but it will mark Apple's first major iPhone redesign in several years.
