The Galaxy S25 Edge might cost you more than you anticipated.

      The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is set to launch on May 13, but recent leaks indicate that you might want to start saving up, as its pricing appears higher than anticipated. The Italian retailer Zanetti has revealed the various models and provided insights into their costs, which isn't very promising. The Galaxy S25 Edge could rank as the second-most expensive model in the S25 series.

      Zanetti indicates that the 256GB version will retail for 1,362 Euro — approximately $1,494, likely rounded up to $1,500. The 512GB variant is even more costly at 1,488 Euro, or $1,632. It's important to note that these prices are for European markets; US pricing may be higher due to recent tariffs.

      The Galaxy S25 Edge was always predicted to be positioned between the Galaxy S25 Plus and the Galaxy S25 Ultra, which is reflected in this pricing estimate. Another retailer named Epto had listed the same prices but has since removed those listings.

      Zanetti has included three color options: Titan Silver, Titan Jetblack, and Titan Icyblue. These names are transcribed directly from reports, so some discrepancies may arise from translation errors. "Titan" likely abbreviates “titanium,” and “jetblack” and “icyblue” might be missing spaces.

      The Galaxy S25 Edge is anticipated to feature a 6.7-inch display with a refresh rate of up to 120Hz, dual rear cameras (including a 200MP main lens), and a slightly smaller 3,786mAh battery. Although this battery isn’t as large as the standard Galaxy S25, the S25 Edge will possess a slimmer frame, resulting in a reduction in battery capacity.

      Samsung is expected to officially unveil the device through a smaller online event rather than a grand occasion like Galaxy Unpacked. When that happens, we will gather more details about this eagerly awaited smartphone.

      The Galaxy S25 Edge stands out as arguably the most exciting Samsung phone debuting this year. This slim and lightweight device will distinguish itself from other Samsung models due to its design, featuring only two rear cameras and a notably thin profile. Anticipation for its launch has led to a surge of leaks showcasing its design and specifications. A recent leak has provided further insights into the Galaxy S25 Edge's color offerings.

      In a new leak, the Galaxy S25 Edge is depicted in official-looking digital renders. Consistent with prior leaks, the latest information from WinFuture shows the S25 Edge in three colors: Jet Black, a light Icy Blue, and Silver, the latter of which may have appeared in a leaked hands-on video earlier this week.

      Samsung has already launched several products this year, including the Galaxy S25 series in January, the Galaxy A56 in early March, and some new home appliances. However, everyone is keenly awaiting the official launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge, which was teased in January.

      Several reports have emerged regarding the Galaxy S25 Edge since that initial tease, with recent leaks revealing more about its expected specifications.

      Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra is recognized as one of the most advanced smartphone cameras available, particularly within the US market. While it performs exceptionally well, the pace of camera advancements has slowed recently, especially with competitors like Xiaomi's 15 Ultra raising the standard. Next year could see a turnaround for Samsung.

      A new leak suggests that Samsung is planning several significant upgrades for the Galaxy S26 Ultra's camera system. Instead of the 10-megapixel short-range telephoto camera found in the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the successor might come equipped with a larger 50-megapixel sensor.

      Additionally, the optical zoom range may be enhanced, increasing from a 3x to a 3.5x zoom. The long-range periscope-style telephoto camera might also improve from a 5x to an 8x optical zoom range, along with a wider aperture. As per usual, optical image stabilization will be maintained across the primary and zoom cameras.

      The main camera of the Galaxy S26 Ultra is expected to retain a 200-megapixel sensor, using the same 1/1.3-inch format and 0.6-micron pixel sizes. However, it may revive an innovative aperture feature that Samsung first introduced years ago.

      Reintroducing the variable aperture

      Back in 2018, Samsung launched the Galaxy S9 Plus with a unique camera feature. This primary sensor allowed for variable aperture functionality, enabling it to switch between f/1.5 and f/2.4. The Galaxy S26 Ultra could potentially reinstate this variable aperture system, but in a more advanced manner.
