Samsung will, with the launch of its Galaxy S25 Edge, add another face to its lineup of annual smartphone headliners. Plenty is known about the smartphone, but not as much as we’d be privy to following an official launch. Since Samsung is known to be prepping for a reveal, it’s just a question of when we’ll see it. Weirdly, our next hint is how much it’ll cost.
S25 Edge of tomorrow
South Korean pricing for the Galaxy S25 Edge is already kicking around the internet, showing that the smartphone will find itself sitting above the S25+ but below the S25 Ultra. This makes sense. There’s no point in using the Ultra title and then releasing a better phone.
Pricing for the S25 Edge will start at R19,000 (1,500,000 won — South Korea’s currency) for the 256GB version and climb to R20,500 (1,630,000 won) for the 512GB version, according to sources. There won’t be a 1TB version of the devices.
Those won’t be local prices, of course, but given that it’s supposed to occupy space between the S25+ and Ultra, we can infer that it’ll cost more than R25,000 and less than R31,000 to stick the S25 Edge in your pocket. R27,500 sounds about right.
That is, if it launches here right away. Samsung is reported to be limiting its initial production run to just 40,000 handsets, likely to gauge interest in the new model before it commits itself to millions of shipments around the world. That might be why we didn’t see it at the local Galaxy S25 launch.
