Samsung just announced its latest flagship S25 series, both in India and globally. While everyone had their eyes on whether Samsung would launch the S25 Slim at the Galaxy Unpacked January 2025 Event, no one imagined that there wouldn’t be a Slim model but rather an Edge model. Samsung showcased the S25 Edge, which essentially replaces the Slim model, during the event.

Those who saw the images floating all over the internet were quite surprised, as the design was nothing like what OnLeaks had shared in his leak. Even the name turned out to be different. But that’s not all, Samsung’s addition of the Edge variant to its S25 series introduces a design that differs from the rest of the smartphones in the lineup.

When I first saw the image of it, I felt like I had seen it somewhere before. And then it hit me, it looks strikingly similar to the Oppo K12x (China), AKA the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite. If you look at the comparison below, the Galaxy S25 Edge is on the left, and the Nord CE 4 Lite is on the right. While the S25 Edge has a single flash, the Nord CE 4 Lite features a dual-flash setup. Both smartphones sport a rear dual-camera layout neatly placed in a pill-shaped deco.

The silver colour of the S25 Edge also seems reminiscent of the Nord CE 4 Lite. Although Samsung briefly showcased the device at the Unpacked event, not much detail was revealed. However, an earlier Geekbench listing revealed that the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset would power it. Interestingly, that listing showed the device’s underpowered multicore performance for some reason.
It’s worth noting that the “Edge” naming in the moniker is likely intended to highlight the smartphone’s slim design. Additionally, it marks the brand’s return to using “Edge” in its product names—the last being the 2016-released Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

As of now, Samsung has not revealed further details, such as the launch date or full specifications. But an earlier leak had revealed it may launch in May of this year. Additionally, WHYLAB shared some key specs of this smartphone: a 6.7″ straight display screen, a 3900 mAh battery backup, a 200MP (main) + 50MP (ultra-wide) dual-camera unit, and 6.4 mm thickness.

I know some may not like this comparison, So, who else agrees with me that it looks like the Nord CE 4 Lite?

The South Korean smartphone manufacturer, Samsung, very recently launched its Galaxy S25 series flagship smartphone models globally and three of the latest devices are currently available for pre-booking. Along with these three, a fourth expected smartphone was also showcased by the brand at the launch event, featuring a thin form factor design. Now, the expected key specs of this smartphone have been tipped online.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – Tipped Key Specs

As per this new update received via WHYLAB, the Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone, the brand’s thin form factor device of the Galaxy S25 series (which was initially said to be called ‘Galaxy S25 Slim’), is tipped to have specs such as Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip (overclocked version with 4.47 GHz primary clock speed), 6.7″ straight display screen, 3900 mAh battery backup, 200MP (main) + 50MP (ultra-wide) dual camera unit, and 6.4 mm thickness.

Speaking more, based on the device that was showcased at the event, the Galaxy S25 Edge obviously has a very thin design and in one way or the other shares some similarities with the Galaxy S25+ model, but with quite evident differences. The main difference and what makes the device stand out from the other already-launched Galaxy S25 series models apart from the thin design is the camera module. The Galaxy S25 Edge has a slightly projected pill-shaped unit which houses two even more projected camera sensors and an LED flashlight. Also, as per rumors, Samsung could make this Galaxy S25 Edge model available to customers in the month of May 2025.

Just to add, the ‘Edge’ naming in the moniker is surely to portray the thin design of the smartphone, however, it also marks the brand’s return to using ‘Edge’ in its smartphone monikers and notably the 2016-released Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge was the last to launch with it.

More updates concerning the latest Galaxy S25 Edge device are likely to be shared in the coming days, which will probably shed more light on its specs, features, and launch date. Stay tuned until then.
