Latest Leak Hints Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge To Beat Galaxy S25, Weigh-In At Just 160g

The 'slim and trim' Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has been grabbing eyeballs ever since it was teased. It even managed to edge out the Galaxy S25 series on the day it was launched. And now, yet another reason has been revealed that will keep the spotlight firmly on it. The "Edge" aka "Slim" is expected to be one of Samsung's lightest flagship smartphone, perhaps in years.

The South Korean tech major had first revealed the device at its Unpacked event by highlighting its ultra-slim design. And now, well-known leakster Ice Universe has revealed that the Galaxy S25 Edge will actually weigh-in at under 160 grams, even lighter than the standard Galaxy S25, which weighs in at 162 grams.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Launch Date

Just to add to the buzz, tipster Max Jambor has tipped the Galaxy S25 Edge will launch in Q2, most likely in April. The release pattern aligns with what Samsung usually does, so we could be getting an official rollout soon.

This lightweight flagship is rare in the modern smartphone market. Samsung last launched a device in this weight class back in 2019 with the Galaxy S10, which weighed 157g. Since then, smartphones have gotten a lot heavier, especially compared to ultra-light models and even mid-range smartphones.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is lightweight due to a number of factors. The rumoured phone will skip a large periscope zoom lens but will come with a dual camera setup. Samsung may also use a plastic frame, rather than metal, to lower weight and costs to make. Another possible reason could be the lack of an advanced cooling system, common in heavier flagship models.

It may be a 'lightweight', but the Galaxy S25 Edge is likely to deliver a premium experience, no matter these adjustments. Samsung has a history of optimizing its devices for performance, and that should be good for users who don’t mind paying for a slick and light, but not necessarily low-performance, smartphone.

As the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge nears its expected launch just months away, it will likely be the type of light flagship design that appeals to those who are fatigued with overly robust smartphones bulging in their pockets.
