A slim Samsung Galaxy S25 is coming

Samsung revealed its new S25 range at an event this week, but there was one surprise – the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Viewers only got a glimpse of the device, but it looks like it’s the ultra-slim entry in the Galaxy S25 lineup.

It’s rumoured to be just 6.4mm thick and has two cameras on the back rather than the three cameras on other S25 phones.

In comparison the regular Galaxy S25 is 7.2mm thick, which was the main reveal at the ‘Galaxy Unpacked’ event.

The upcoming Samsung S25 Ultra is available to pre-order from 24 January, with deliveries from 3 February.

The Ultra will have a 6.9 inch screen, and under the hood it will get a new super-fast Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset for better performance.

The S25 Ultra also comes with 12GB of RAM compared to the iPhone 16 Pro Max’s 8GB. 

Samsung also has its own form of artificial intelligence to take on Apple Intelligence.

Sky Mobile currently has one of the best deals on the new Samsung S25 Ultra, at £48 a month.

The Titanium handset comes in blue, silver, grey and black and all new orders will arrive with Buds3 Pro worth £219 in the Sky deal

The deal also needs you to add a data plan but you can get that for as little as £6 a month, with Sky offering double data on plans when you order the new Samsung Ultra 25.

You can pre order the Samsung S25 Ultra here, while more details on the S25 Edge will be revealed soon.
