Galaxy S25 Edge Officially Launching May 12, Reservations Open Now With $50 Credit

After weeks of rumors and an apparent delay, Samsung has just announced a May 12 launch event for the Galaxy S25 Edge and has opened reservations for the device.

Samsung first teased and showed off the Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year following the launch of the rest of the Galaxy S25 series. Despite having since been shown off at MWC 2025, the super-slim device hasn’t been fully detailed outside of leaks.

Now, we’re finally getting the full unveiling.

Samsung has just announced a May 12 event where the Galaxy S25 Edge will be announced. The event will be fully virtual and livestreamed via YouTube. Interestingly, the event will take place at 8pm ET, much later than Samsung’s usual morning launch events.

The company is also keeping its reservation credit system open for this launch. Those interested in buying can sign up on Samsung’s website and get a $50 credit following their purchase that can be used for accessories or anything else on Samsung.com. There’s no obligation if you make a reservation, and there’s no cost associated with it either.

In a blog post, Samsung explains why the Galaxy S25 Edge is more than “a slim smartphone.”

We’re constantly striving to understand our users’ evolving needs, innovating to bring them what they’re looking for. By pushing the boundaries of mobile technology, we’re going beyond what users expect and opening up new possibilities. The latest addition to the Galaxy S series is both a powerful AI companion and an engineering marvel, merging flagship-level performance with superior portability.

This is more than a slim smartphone. Every curve, contour and component reflects a breakthrough in precise engineering to create a premium experience worthy of the S series name. The Galaxy S25 Edge not only sets a new standard for what you can achieve with your smartphone, but it also unlocks a new era of growth for the mobile industry.

As the newest edition to the Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy S25 Edge embodies the ultimate camera experience – and takes it one step further with mobile AI that empowers users to reach new creative realms in every aspect of mobile photography, from capturing to editing and sharing. Even with its slim form, Galaxy S25 Edge’s 200MP wide lens continues Galaxy’s iconic camera experience, delivering pro-grade capabilities to intuitively capture the world around you. And thanks to Galaxy AI, the camera transforms into a smart lens that helps recognize what matters to create new memories.

Rumor has it that the Galaxy S25 Edge will ship a bit later in the US compared to some regions.
