Samsung Wallet Mobile Driver license

Samsung has introduced Mobile Driver’s License support to the Samsung Wallet app. This allows you to store your Driver’s License or State ID on your Galaxy phone, so you don’t need to carry the physical card anymore. You can use this digital ID at TSA checkpoints to make travel easier and quicker.

With the Mobile Driver’s License feature, you can safely store your Driver’s License or State ID on your phone. Once stored, you can use it at TSA checkpoints instead of showing a physical ID.

To keep your personal information safe, Samsung Wallet uses fingerprint or PIN authentication to access your Mobile Driver’s License. Your ID details are encrypted and protected by Samsung Knox security, so your data is secure.

Notably, this feature is available to users in select states right now, but Samsung plans to add more states soon. Currently, the feature is live in limited states, including Arizona, Iowa, Maryland, Georgia, Colorado, and West Virginia.

Samsung is also looking to expand the use of mobile IDs to other places beyond TSA checkpoints in the future, some of which are currently not even possible with a physical ID.

Galaxy S25 Edge renders revealed design and specs before its anticipated launch

Published

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

A new set of Galaxy S25 Edge renders have appeared online and revealed information about the upcoming device, including its design as well as specs.

Winfuture has shared a bunch of material about Galaxy S25 Edge starting with the launch date, which could happen next month, but an exact date is not shared.

The phone will equip a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED screen with 2400 x 1000 pixels resolution. The display is flat on all side, rounded corners, and a hole punch to feature a selfie camera. The front appearance is identical to the Galaxy S25 and S25+.

The S25 Edge will pack the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. The other three models from the lineup also have this chipset, enhancing the processing capability over Snapdragon 8 Gen 3. It means that the phone will also support all of the latest Galaxy AI features.

Unlike its S25 siblings, the Edge model will offer two rear cameras, including a 200MP main sensor. The secondary will a 12MP camera, probably for ultra-wide angle photography. It was previously rumored to bring ALoP camera, a next-generation telescope lens, but this tech remains unconfirmed in the renders.

The S25 Edge is 5.8mm thick, which excludes the camera bump. However, achieving a thin form factory would require the company to sacrifice an important aspect – battery.

This minimized size wouldn’t allow Samsung to in-built a large capacity. Hence, the source suggests that the mAh size in S25 Edge will be, 3900mAh. This is fairly low compared to the S25 Plus with 4,900mAh.

Interestingly, the phone has three variants Titanium Jet Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Icy Blue. These names indicate that the phone will be using a titanium design similar to the S25 Ultra.

With each popular model, Samsung has developed a tradition of offering online exclusive colors, and we can hope the same for the S25 Edge.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra and S25 Edge Dummy

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will soon make its way to the global customers and a dummy version of the device has revealed a massive upgrade in a side by side comparison to the S25 Ultra.

A Korean YouTuber has published a video featuring S25 Edge dummy, actually two dummies of the unreleased device, and explained some upgrades over the high-specs Samsung flagship.

Starting with looks, the YouTuber had two dummies, one in white and the other in all-black color. The rear side is plain as standard S25 model, with a more clear look at the vertical camera integration.

The phone has two lenses and their outlook is similar in size. The camera bump is only visible for design purpose, consisting of an LED flash.

The overall appearance is quite identical to the standard S25 and S25+. Notably, the black version has all colored appearance including a black frame, which blends into the rear.

The dummy was measured in real-time with a digital scale, revealing a 5.84mm thickness, around 2.4mm thinner than the S25 Ultra (8.2mm).

In a head’s down, side by side comparison, the S25 Edge looks impressively slimmer than the S25 Ultra. That’s not it, there’s more to observe in this shot.

Look at the components, the decreased thickness cannot be achieved without components and Samsung affirmed this in the short teaser at Unpacked 2025.

The teaser showed redesigned spare parts for this flagship. The look at the bottom of the device reveals trimmed charging port, the Sim Tray, and reshuffled speaker location.

A rear shot suggests that the phone has a slight less width than the Ultra, but the difference doesn’t look much in the video.

Another thing to note is that the device is smaller than the S25 Ultra, which is due to the smaller screen size at around 6.5-6.7-inches. The Galaxy S25 Edge dummy looks quite compelling with its design cut over S25 Ultra.

Conclusion

The new design upgrade will improve the in-hand experience for Galaxy S25 Edge users but we’ll have to wait for an official release date.
