As yesterday's Samsung Galaxy Unpacked event came to a close, we were surprised by an announcement asking everyone at the event to pay attention to their nearest screen. A brief introductory video for an unexpected fourth variant of the Galaxy S25 then played, teasing a razor-thin form factor, swiftly followed by the title "Galaxy S25 Edge" flashing up on the screen.
The Edge suffix has been a staple in previous Samsung lineups, usually in reference to a curved display that melts over the frame of the device. Samsung ended this naming convention with the Galaxy S7 series and converted its lineup to entirely flat displays with the Galaxy S24 series. Unfortunately for fans of curved screens, this new Edge naming convention doesn't signal the return of this form factor but instead hints towards a new ultra-thin design.
