[+] middle of the year (Photo by Andrej Sokolow/picture alliance via Getty Images)dpa/picture alliance via Getty ImagesSamsung launched three Galaxy S25 handsets at the first Galaxy Unpacked event of the yearthe Galaxy S25, S25+ and S25 Ultra. It also teased a fourth S25 handset, namely the Galaxy S25 Edge. Designed to be the thinnest Galaxy S phone possible, this fashion-conscious handset does not yet have a release date. Still, we have more details on its specifications from regulatory filings.Galaxy S25 Edge FilingsShortly after Galaxy Unpacked In January, the Galaxy S25 Edge was spotted in the Chinese regulators database of upcoming products. Key specifications were listed, including a 3,786 mAh battery (which would likely be listed as 3,900 mAh on consumer spec sheets). Numerous smartphones offer both Chinese and Global variants, so a listing in China is not a blanket confirmation.Now, we have a second regulatory filing thanks to Denmarks National Certification Body, UL Solutions. It also lists the Galaxy S25 Edge battery size as the same 3,786 mAh.Assuming this is the final specification, Samsung is taking a bit of a risk here. Flagship smartphones are looking at the 5,000 mAh mark. Samsung is no exception with the S25 Ultra in the 5,000 mAh club. Elsewhere in the range, the vanilla Galaxy S25 sports a 4,000 mAh battery and the S25+ has 4,900 mAh.Galaxy S25 Edge ImpactThe Galaxy S25 Edge, with its ultra-thin form factor, is looking to push the limits of physical design to create a fashionable look. There is no doubt that the internal volume of the Edge is smaller than the S25 Ultra; given the numbers, its likely to be a close but still less than the vanilla Galaxy S25.Will the market accept that? Fashion-focused phones are not unknown and have intrinsic appeal to a small segment of the community. For most, the regular phones will be more than sufficient. For others, the exclusivity of the S25 Ege will be part of its appeal.This could be one reason why Samsung is planning a limited release of this handset, with suggestions of a small order in the tens of thousands that potentially may only go on sale in the home territory of South Korea.Now read more about Samsungs plans after the Galaxy S25 Edge to reintroduce the Exynos chipset to the Galaxy family...
