Samsung Unveils Slimmer Galaxy Edge, Signalling a Potential Comeback for Smaller Phones

Samsung made a significant announcement during its January Unpacked event, introducing the highly-anticipated Galaxy S25 and teasing a new addition to its flagship lineup – the Samsung Edge.

The Samsung Edge, a slimmer and possibly lighter Galaxy phone, is part of Samsung's own 2025 flagship lineup. The company is currently developing the Galaxy S25 Edge and its upcoming successor, the Galaxy S26 Edge, with ultra-thin designs and lighter builds.

The most intriguing reveal was the Samsung Edge, a new Galaxy phone model that could potentially mark a trend towards slimmer smartphones. The existence of the Samsung Edge suggests that smaller phones are making a comeback, a notion further supported by the rumoured iPhone Air 17 from Apple.

Rumours suggest that the iPhone Air 17 will be about 2 millimeters thinner than current iPhones, making it significantly slimmer than existing models. If released, these two devices could set a new standard for smartphone design.

While very little concrete information is available about the Samsung Edge at this time, it's clear that Samsung is aiming to push the boundaries of smartphone technology. The iPhone 13, currently the writer's everyday carry, is a testament to Apple's commitment to innovation. But with Samsung's latest offering, the competition is heating up.

The new Galaxy devices are typically unveiled during this season, so we can expect more details about the Samsung Edge in the coming months. The writer shares the excitement about the prospect of smaller, slimmer devices in the future and looks forward to seeing how these innovations will shape the smartphone landscape.

Meanwhile, Apple is rumoured to be working on its own slimmer iPhone model, adding to the anticipation and competition in the market. As always, the race to create the most advanced and user-friendly smartphones continues.
