Galaxy S25 Edge price leaked, and it’s not as bad as we expected

Samsung teased the ultra-thin Galaxy S25 Edge at the end of the Galaxy S25 Unpacked event in January but didn’t reveal any details about the fourth member of this year’s Galaxy S series. The Edge was the star of the Galaxy S25 hands-on experience that followed the event, where everyone wanted to see the thin handset more than anything else. Participants could not touch the device at the time.

Rumors that preceded the Unpacked event said Samsung might bring the Edge at the show but launch it only in spring. The Korean giant practically confirmed those rumors by revealing nothing about the Edge besides the name and design.

Fast-forward to mid-March, we have the first price leak for the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it’s not bad news. As expected, the phone won’t be as cheap as the base Galaxy S25 model. But it won’t be more expensive than the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the best flagship phone Samsung can make this year.

According to Korean-language news site FNNews, the Galaxy S25 Edge will come in two storage configurations: 256GB and 512GB. Samsung reportedly set the prices for the two variants at 1.5 million won and 1.63 million won, respectively. Buyers who preorder the phone in May, when it’ll supposedly be released, will be able to double the storage for free.

A direct conversion to US dollars will not give us the US price for the Galaxy S25 Edge. However, the report points out that the Galaxy S25 Edge price structure above would make it slightly more expensive than the Galaxy S25 Plus but cheaper than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. In other words, the Galaxy S25 Edge will be the second most expensive model of the Galaxy S25 series.

Samsung will likely apply the same price structure to all markets where the Galaxy S25 Edge will be available, including the US. That means the Galaxy S25 Edge should be slightly more expensive than the Galaxy S25 Plus, which starts at $999 in the US.

On that note, the report says Samsung is going for a staggered release to test the market’s reaction to the ultra-thin phone. Samsung should launch the Galaxy S25 Edge in major markets like Korea and the US, but not all countries where the other three Galaxy S25 models are available will get the Edge.
