Samsung organized its Galaxy Unpacked Event 2025 in San Jose, California, where he announced his last Galaxy S25 series. Not to be outdone, the Korean smartphone maker stunned attendees and streamers at home with the turn of the decade, hinting that it has a device called the Galaxy S25 Edge on the way.
The brand gave little to no hint as to what the device might entail, other than showing off some deconstructed parts of the smartphone on cinema demo screens. This is enough to leave enthusiasts salivating for more information about the upcoming smartphone. The last time there was a Samsung Edge-branded product on the market was in 2016, with the Galaxy S7 Edge. That device was a slate-style smartphone with two curved sides. At the time, the form factor was so basic in the market that Samsung would drop the name the following year in the market. Galaxy S8 series. However, it was clear that the company had been testing its prowess with its foldable smartphones.
Going back to 2014, Samsung would introduce the Galaxy Note Edge, an ingenious, not-so-little experiment that would introduce the tech world to all things curvy. The smartphone had a unique curved edge, hence the name, and edge features, which allowed you to move the curve to activate your favorite apps. The device received very favorable reviews from publications of the time. In retrospect, you can see how the brand could have used such early models to test the performance of folding screens.

Later models included the 2015 S6 Edge and S6 Edge+, which featured a dual-edge shape actor. That design was a favorite for several generations until Samsung focused more on actual foldables. While there was fierce competition with the flat, compact design that Apple had chosen for its iPhones over the years, there was no real indication that Samsung fans had grown tired of the brand’s signature curves.
With the device skeletons shown in Galaxy Unpacked as any indication, we can only assume that Samsung plans to resurrect the Edge design that hasn’t been seen in 10 years. The brand said it has more to share later this year and we’re on the edge of our seats.
