Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Hits South Korea: Stylish Design, Real Cameras, and a Debate Heating Up
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has officially launched in South Korea ahead of its global rollout, and it’s already stirring debates among tech fans. Available now through Samsung’s Korean website and offline retail stores, the S25 Edge comes in silver, blue, and black, with 12GB of RAM paired with either 256GB or 512GB storage options. 
Prices start at KRW1,496,000 (~$1,095).
While it’s not the most powerful in the S25 lineup, the S25 Edge stands out with its ultra-slim 5.8mm profile and feather-light 163g weight. Many early impressions highlight its premium feel — a titanium frame, no tacky A-series vibes, and a cleaner camera design.
The hardware includes a Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, a 6.7-inch 120Hz LTPO AMOLED display with 1440p resolution, a flagship-grade 200MP main sensor, and a modest 3,900mAh battery supporting 25W charging. It’s not meant for power users or mobile gamers, but for average users prioritizing style and camera quality, the Edge brings a balanced offering.
Interestingly, it has ignited a new wave of discussions online — not about performance, but about honesty in phone design. Several users have compared the S25 Edge’s camera layout to other phones that fake the number of cameras with dummy lenses. Samsung has avoided that pitfall here. The S25 Edge has clean, non-misleading rear camera rings, unlike competitors that exaggerate capabilities visually.
But it’s not without critics. The battery capacity and thermal performance under heavy use have drawn fair concern, especially when compared to the larger S25+ which offers better endurance and cooling.
Still, for those wanting a flagship phone that doesn’t feel like a brick or scream “budget compromise,” the S25 Edge might just hit the sweet spot — even if its price doesn’t scream value for everyone.

Bro this phone is 🔥 if u care about looks and camera more than battery life. Just don’t game too much on it lol
Looks like Samsung finally made a phone that doesn’t look like a chunky calculator. Clean and classy!
Tbh this phone ain’t for heavy users. It’s for those who want a slick phone, flex a bit, and not carry a brick. I’m in 👌
I don’t get why ppl cry about the rings. If it’s a sensor it’s not fake. But still, Samsung’s setup just looks less shady
Samsung playing it smart. No fake cameras, just a clean design. Unlike others with their ‘4 cameras’ when it’s really 3 😒
Why pay same price as S25+ for less battery and worse thermals? Thin isn’t always better in summer, just sayin’
I compared it with the Ultra in store and wow the Edge really is thinner, almost feels unreal. But the Ultra does have better specs, so pick your poison I guess
