The reasons behind the S25 Edge's delay are reportedly not related to quality control issues, like what happened with the Pixel 9a recently. ET News in South Korea reports that a "specific reason" for the delay has not been disclosed by Samsung (translated via Google Translate). Speculation suggests that the delay may be linked to internal changes within Samsung's business division. Recently, Samsung appointed its mobile chief, Roh Tae-moon, as the acting head of its DX division (consumer devices division), which includes smartphones, TVs, and home appliances.
Samsung showcased the S25 Edge at Galaxy Unpacked in January and MWC in March. The phone is rumored to measure just 5.8mm in thickness, feature a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2x display, and house a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. Its battery is expected to be around 3,900mAh, slightly smaller than the Galaxy S25's 4,000mAh battery. Leaked renders from WinFuture.de revealed the phone in three colorways: black, silver, and blue.
In terms of cameras, the Galaxy S25 Edge has two rear cameras, rumored to be a 200-megapixel main camera and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens. Reportedly, Samsung plans to produce three million units of the Galaxy S25 Edge (via SamMobile). While concrete pricing details have not yet been released, it is rumored to be priced at around $1,100, placing it between the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra . With the device's reported delay, the S25 Edge may not see the light of day until May or June now.
