Samsung Delays Galaxy S25 Edge Launch to Reassess Strategy, Not Due to Quality Concerns

Earlier this year, Samsung unveiled its much-anticipated Galaxy S25 series, featuring sweeping upgrades across the board. While these devices mark a significant advancement, the design retains much of last year’s aesthetic appeal. Among the announcements was the Galaxy S25 Edge, a new variant poised to compete directly with the iPhone 17 Air. Although initial speculation suggested an April launch, reports now indicate that the release of the Galaxy S25 Edge has been postponed to May or June.

Launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge Delayed to Late Spring

Initial reports anticipated the release of the Galaxy S25 Edge, touted as Samsung’s slimmest smartphone to date, in April. However, it seems that a last-minute delay may push the launch to either May or June. Fortunately, there have been no significant issues reported that could derail the project entirely. As noted by ETNews, the Galaxy S25 Edge might still debut in upcoming weeks.

Well-known leakers Ice Universe and Max Jambor have further confirmed this timeline, providing additional clarity on the delayed launch. While the specific reasons for the postponement remain unclear, early indications suggest that it is not related to quality concerns. This is a positive development, as manufacturing or design challenges could have resulted in more significant delays.

On the other hand, a recent report hints at Samsung’s internal need to reassess its launch schedule. This could potentially be a strategic move to better position the Galaxy S25 Edge against the iPhone 17 Air, although specific details on this strategy are currently lacking. There’s also speculation that Samsung may synchronize the Galaxy S25 Edge launch with its upcoming Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip lineup. Such adjustments could mean a shift from a traditional in-person launch event to a solely online presentation.

An online-only event would likely feature a “teaser video”highlighting the Galaxy S25 Edge’s flagship attributes, including its new slim design, pricing details, internal specifications, and final release date. Should Samsung opt to separate the Galaxy S25 Edge launch from its foldable devices, it would require an additional event in its busy schedule. We recommend staying tuned for further updates as more information becomes available.
