Samsung is reportedly targeting a new launch window for the highly anticipated Galaxy S25 Edge, but the company will initially only be releasing the device in two countries: South Korea and China. The fourth member of the Galaxy S25 family is expected to arrive at the end of May in these markets.
The latest news contradicts previous reports that hinted at an April 15 launch followed by a wider global rollout. Instead, it appears that Samsung will focus on releasing the phone in its native market before expanding to other regions.
A recent leak showed off the S25 Edge’s sleek design, but the question remains whether the device’s rumored price tag is justified. Some reports suggest that the ultra-thin handset may not be released in the US or Europe until June at the earliest.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding the Galaxy S25 Edge’s launch and pricing, a credible source has reportedly confirmed the phone’s availability in 39 countries, including major European markets like France, Ireland, Poland, and the UK. However, it is unclear when these markets will receive the device.
The S25 Edge is expected to come with a starting price of €1,249 (approximately $1,365), which is higher than the retail price of an entry-level Galaxy S25 Plus variant in many European markets. The phone’s pricing structure has sparked debate among fans and critics alike, with some questioning whether the device’s premium build and features justify its high price tag.
Samsung’s decision to release the Galaxy S25 Edge in South Korea and China first may be due to technical issues or other factors. While this news is disappointing for fans in other regions, a limited launch in these two markets is still better than no release at all.
