At its virtual Unpacked event on Tuesday, Samsung officially announced the launch date for its new ultra-slim Galaxy S25 Edge. The latest S25 series phone launches on May 30th to the tune of $1,099, with preorders starting today at Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung’s online storefront.

At just 5.8mm thick, the Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung’s thinnest phone yet. It weighs about 5.7 ounces, making it surprisingly light for a 6.7-inch device. While its slim design means it comes with a smaller 3,900mAh battery, Samsung didn’t sacrifice durability to achieve the phone’s slender design. In fact, despite its thin and lightweight build, the Edge features the same rugged titanium frame as the S25 Ultra and carries an IP68 rating for dust and water resistance. It also shares the Ultra’s 200-megapixel main camera, though it’s limited to two rear lenses with no telephoto lens.

Other than that, the S25 Edge is largely similar to the S25 Plus. Both feature a 6.7-inch OLED display and run on the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 for Galaxy chipset. They also offer the same Galaxy AI features, including natural language search for both photos and other settings. Like the rest of the S25 lineup, the S25 Edge is backed by Samsung’s promise of seven years of OS and security updates.

We’ll be reviewing the S25 Edge in the coming days, but if you’re looking to place a preorder now, here’s what you should know.

Where to preorder the Galaxy S25 Edge

The Galaxy S25 Edge starts at $1,099, features 12GB of RAM, and comes in two storage configurations: 256GB and 512GB, with the latter going for $120 more. You can preorder an unlocked configuration starting today with a free storage upgrade from Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung in the following colors: silver, black, and blue. Samsung is currently offering $50 in-store credit when you reserve the device, while Amazon is throwing in a $50 gift card. At Best Buy, only customers enrolled in the retailer’s premium Plus and Total loyalty programs are eligible for a $50 gift card.

Carrier deals and promotions New and current Verizon customers on any Unlimited plan can get a free S25 Edge with 256GB of storage when they trade in any Apple, Google, or Samsung phone. However, note that the promo will be dispersed as monthly bill credits over the span of 36 months. T-Mobile is offering a $600 discount on the S25 Edge without a trade-in on most of the unlimited plans when you add a new line, which will be administered as 24 monthly bill credits. The carrier is also offering a free storage upgrade and giving the phone away for free with qualifying trade-ins to those on Experience Beyond and Experience Beyond for Business plans. If you add a line, Business Unlimited Ultimate customers can also get up to $1,000 off the S25 Edge with a qualifying trade-in. AT&T will essentially give you an S25 Edge for free in the form of monthly credits over the span of three months when you add or upgrade to a line on an eligible unlimited plan. The company is also offering a handful of other deals with an approved trade-in, such as $800 off for switching carriers or $200 off when you add a new line and order the device online.
