Today, Samsung officially launched the Galaxy S25 Edge. It’s the company’s slimmest smartphone ever, which doesn’t trade flagship specs. Samsung also revealed pre-order deals and US availability for the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Galaxy S25 Edge pre-order deals in the US, by Samsung

Samsung is offering up to $800 off the Galaxy S25 Edge with a qualifying trade-in. Upgrading from your existing smartphone would save you max $800 in the US. It’s just another exceptional pre-order deal from Samsung.

Note that Samsung is also offering a $50 credit and free storage upgrade with pre-order. Free storage upgrade means you are getting a higher storage variant, but paying the price of a smaller storage model during pre-order.

Here’s the trade-in value chart for qualifying devices:

Device – Trade Value

• Galaxy S24 Ultra – $630
• Galaxy S24+ – $500
• Galaxy S24 – $420
• Galaxy Z Fold 6 – $630
• Galaxy S23 Ultra – $580
• Galaxy Z Fold 5 – $580
• Galaxy S22 Ultra – $500
  • You can find the full list on Samsung’s website.

Overall, a savings of $800 for a $1,219 (256GB) device seems to be a pretty good deal. Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge is going to be in limited supply, meaning there is no telling what prices and inventory will be like after the pre-order period.

Samsung is letting you save maximum $800 on the new $1100 Galaxy S25 Edge. The new phone comes with 5.8mm sleek design profile without compromising on performance, camera and software fronts.

The US and China have announced a halt in fiery tariff imposition and marked a mutual deal to bring down import duty in both countries, which could be a big relief for Apple.

This trade deal comes after talks between two giant economies in Geneva. According to the joint statement, the US will reduce tariffs on Chinese goods to 30 percent from 145 percent and China will do the same by reducing import duties on US products to 10 percent from 125 percent.

China stands as a production hub for Apple, products, including the iPhone, comes out of the Chinese factories and goes around the globe. In April, US President Donald Trump announced a sliding tariff on China, which escalated the trade war. The two sides began announcing new tariff rates on each other, increasing upto 145% from the US side.

Earlier this month, Apple CEO, Tim Cook, said that the US bound iPhone production will shift to India due to the high import rate on Chinese goods. The company also projected $900 million loss in costs in the current quarter.

“We do expect the majority of iPhones sold in the US will have India as their country of origin” said Cook a week ago.

Eventually, this US-China tariff deal is likely to bring calm in Apple’s corner and will allow the company to think back on its production shift decision.

Samsung is set to unveil the Galaxy S25 Edge in the US tonight. Major US carrier, AT&T, has also teased the availability of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge.

AT&T quoted Samsung Mobile US’s post of the Galaxy S25 Edge teaser. It’s nothing but an official confirmation that the slim Galaxy device will be hitting AT&T store shelves.

The carrier’s “See You 5/12” also indicates that the pre-order should start today. However, the official release/sales are expected later this month, if previous revelations are accurate.

Apart from AT&T, other US cellular networks, including Verizon and T-Mobile, have not yet confirmed or teased the availability of the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Galaxy S25 Edge is said to be just 5.85mm thick, the sleekest Galaxy ever. The company has also drastically reduced the weight, as it’s expected to be roughly 160 grams.

The slimness is coming in favor of two major aspects: a smaller battery and a lack of Telephoto. The phone features a 3900mAh battery, and there’s no dedicated zoom camera like the other three.

However, you don’t need to worry about performance and durability. The device is toughened by exclusive Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 and packs the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy under the hood.

As far as the pricing is concerned, the Galaxy S25 Edge would cost between the S25 Plus and Ultra. In the US, the phone could come with a starting price tag of nearly $1100 to $1150.

Samsung has raised the Galaxy S25 series production target for May 2025 amid US tariff uncertainties, TheElec reports.

According to the info, Samsung has ramped up this month’s Galaxy S25 series production target by 800,000 units; the decision comes ahead of the potential US tariffs to be imposed on imports to the United States.

The report suggests that the May production plan for the flagship Galaxy S25 series includes 1.3 million units of the standard model, 500,000 units of the Plus, and 1.5 million units of the Ultra, totaling 3.3 million units.

That said, the Korean tech giant has increased its production target by up to 1 million units over the March forecast, plus 800,000 units more than the early-to-mid-April forecast (2.5 million), with the Ultra model seeing the biggest hike.

The company has sold around 30 million Galaxy devices in the US last year. Galaxy S flagships are cash cows for Samsung in the US, over Galaxy A phones. This way, Samsung could safeguard these units from the potential US tariffs.

While the production has been hiked for May, it has been reduced for June and July. The launch of Galaxy S25 Edge is also considered a reason, which is coming next week, ahead of the new foldables in early July this year.
