Samsung is still in the preparation mode to release the Galaxy S25 Edge, a slim form factor device that will share some characteristics from the S25 family. Amid launch anticipation, leaked details are keeping the Galaxy S25 Edge relevant, and here are the five of them.

Corning Gorilla Glass

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a flat panel similar to the S25 Ultra but around 6.6-inch and 6.7-inch size. Meanwhile, its display will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass Armor 2.

The glass offers improved scratch-resistant, increased durability as well as glass ceramic cover material with anti-reflective properties. The glass could withstand rough use cases while preserving the phone’s viewing angles.

Titanium Design

This phone is expected to be 5.8mm slim and weighs around 163 grams. These specs will make the phone extra handy in terms of grip but with a build challenge. To ensure the durability, Samsung will fuse the frame with Titanium.

For now, Samsung only uses a titanium frame in the Ultra models, and equipping this material in the S25 Edge’s thinner body provides better and comfortable grip, while increasing aesthetics.

Performance

The Galaxy S25 Edge’s performance is likely to stay on par with the Ultra-variant thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, and it brings optimized software as well as better power efficiency.

Price

The phone’s Canadian models are also leaked along with the price details, including:

• 256GB – 1,678.99 CAD (1,210 USD)
• 512GB – 1,858.99 CAD (1,340 USD)

These prices are equivalent to the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Still, the prices in the South Korea are expected to be 100-200 USD lower overseas variants.

Release date

According to past reports, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to launch in mid-May in Korea and China market, followed by a May 30 release in the US by the same month.

Besides the leaked information, Samsung hasn’t provided an official release date for the Galaxy S25 Edge.

Samsung has received a quality award from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a renowned luxury vehicle brand, for providing top-notch battery components.

Since 2010, JLR has been hosting this award ceremony for its global partners and suppliers to recognize their efforts and quality product supplies on time. These awards are presented after an evaluation based on product quality and time bound.

Samsung SDI, a battery production arm of Samsung Electronics, has been supplying cylindrical batteries to Jaguar Land Rover since 2018 under a strategic partnership, which continues to ramp up.

Samsung’s 21700 battery cells – 21 millimeters in diameter and 70 millimeters in height –  are used in JLR’s premium vehicles including Range Rover and Range Rover Sport.

These cells are made of high-nickel, cobalt and aluminum cathode material and silicon anode technology, providing fast charging and long lifespan.

The award ceremony was held at the Samsung SDI’s Tianjin, China plant and attended by top executives including Park Jeong-joon, Head of the Quality Division at the company, Cho Hans, Head of the Strategic Marketing in the Small Battery Business Division, Zehgham Shah, Executive Director of Quality at JLR and Nick Wells, Vice President of Procurement for China and Asia Pacific region at JLR.

“Our outstanding technological prowess and quality have been reaffirmed by our premium brand client, and we will continue to provide our customers with the best products and grow through the partnership” said Park.

Samsung One UI 7.0 is rolling for smartphones with a new camera app including a wide focus on one – hand operations and ease of access through a redesign.

The new app has better space efficiency for on-board elements that improves UI interactions by removing distractions. This decluttering helps you to see what’s important in the live-preview without overwhelming options scattered all over the screen.

The new app enhances the experience with smooth animations, which creates an eye-catching response to the user.

Let’s take a look at the One UI 7.0 camera app features.

Zoom toggle

One UI 7.0 brought the zoom levels below the camera view. Previously, zoom controls used to appear on the bottom side inside the camera view, which expands with more levels above the shutter button.

However, these controls are now fully exposed, and organized above the capture button. Interestingly, the animations make these controls look even better.

Flying Menu

Samsung has restructured the app and removed the unnecessary space by moving some settings to the bottom area. This movement created more room on the top, while storing only essential features.

Now, the app shifted these on-screen features inside the fly out menu button, represented by four squared shape dots. Once tapped, the settings expand with a strip of options hiding the zoom levels. Similarly, the extra zoom levels expand over this fly out menu button dynamically.

AI Filters

The latest One UI version brings new filters for flagship phones, revamping the ones offered in One UI 6.0 and prior versions. These bring more control over the image properties, including the following:

• Strength
• Color temperature
• Contrast
• Saturation
• Film grain

These properties can be adjusted in real-time and post-capture to take visually appealing photographs and videos. These were first introduced with the Galaxy S25 series, but One UI 7.0 is bringing them to previously released models.

Settings

Samsung has made a few new changes to the camera settings to extend the camera options and add new features for eligible devices, such as Log video. The app also has a few new options, such as more customized guidelines and retaining exposure settings.

Log Video

The app has a new Log video feature that helps you capture video with wide dynamic range right from your smartphone. These videos contain actual video properties including colors and light that can be tweaked on a PC with an advanced video editor.

Conclusion

It is now time for you to explore these camera upgrades on your One UI 7.0 device and get a better experience.

Samsung’s One UI 7, based on Android 15, is rolling out to Galaxy devices, bringing a sleek new design, enhanced AI features, and improved customization.
