Samsung is gearing for a head start in the upcoming battle of slim phones. After teasing the design — and confirming the name — at the Galaxy S25 launch earlier this, Samsung is set to launch the Galaxy S25 Edge in the coming months, and we now have a solid rumor on the exact date.
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be announced on April 16, South Korea’s Seoul Economic Daily has reported. It says that instead of a physical unveiling, Samsung will host an online Unpacked event on the said date to reveal the slim phone. Despite the unveiling in April, the phone will not go on sale until the following month, and the exact date of availability isn’t clear yet.
The phone was previously rumored to launch in Q2 2025, but a launch early in the quarter suggests Samsung might want to ensure that it doesn’t take attention away from the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and the Flip 7, which typically launch in July every year. Not just that, an early launch also gives Samsung an advantage against a rivaling product from Apple — a thin and light iPhone, supposedly called the iPhone 17 Air, which could be unveiled in place of the iPhone 17 Plus at Apple’s fall event.
While the official showcase at the Galaxy S25 event demonstrates Samsung’s confidence in the new product, it will seemingly proceed cautiously. The report also suggests Samsung is only preparing to pilot the new phone with just 40,000 units at hand, a miniscule number for a brand of its size. Based on another reliable estimate, Samsung projects to produce roughly 230 million units of the Galaxy S25 series alone through the end of 2025. This settles the Edge’s share to about one per thousand (~0.016%), though the production could likely ramp up based on the demand.
In terms of specifications, the Galaxy S25 Edge will not be any less powerful than the other S25 models and will feature a 200MP main camera. Estimated to be just 6.4mm in thickness, the phone is also expected to feature a ceramic-based back panel to help it shed some bulk. However, to aid with the light build, Samsung will stick to a 4,00mAh battery. As we move closer to the launch, we expect to hear more details through leaks or official teasers.
Are you tired of paying for streaming services you never watch just to get a phone plan feature you actually want? T-Mobile has good news for you! The carrier is rolling out new plans, called T-Mix, in early November to replace its old Experience lineup with a build-your-own perks system called Picks.
The benefits you choose vary from streaming and gaming to food delivery, AI, satellite service, and phone discounts. But if you are satisfied with your existing plan, you can keep it.
Merely days after the iPhone Duo hit the shelves, images of broken screens on the phone started popping up across social media. Until now, it’s been unclear what’s causing the line of defective pixels that appears vertically along the crease, as well as horizontally, on the phone’s inner display.
Apple has finally acknowledged the issue, which has shown up on iPhone Duo units owned by customers as well as demo units in stores. In a statement shared with Bloomberg, Apple says that not all iPhone Duo units are affected and that those that are tend to show the display fault early on. The company added that users who experience problems with their iPhone Duo display should contact AppleCare for a replacement.
Not long ago, Apple treated independent repair like an act of outright hostility. The Cupertino giant locked down parts with serial-number pairing, while repair tools remained firmly out of reach of anyone outside its authorized repair network. More importantly, the company waged a legal and lobbying battle against right-to-repair legislation.
I've covered enough of these fights over the years to know what a shift looks like. That's why what happened in October 2026 genuinely caught me off guard. The day the iPhone Duo went on sale, what may be the most mechanically complex iPhone to date, Apple pulled off a surprising about-face. It published teardown-style repair manuals for a handful of major components.
