Samsung has finally taken the wraps off the long-awaited slim phone at its Galaxy Unpacked 2025 event, but it will go by the name of Galaxy S25 Edge instead of the previously speculated Galaxy S25 Slim. The new model brings back ‘Edge’ branding, last seen with the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in 2016, which adds a unique twist to the meets. The new phone launched with the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and Galaxy S25 Ultra. Despite this, naturally, the Galaxy S25 Edge was notable for its thin form factor, which traded in for the other models of the series.
