According to the latest leaks, the Samsung Galaxy S25 EDGE It could be officially presented in May, a few months earlier than in previous cycles.
But what does this movement really mean? What can we expect from this new EDGE generation? And how might this impact those planning to upgrade their smartphone in 2025, especially in markets like Chile ?
Today I invite you to a full analysis, where we explore beyond the superficial rumors and delve into what could be one of the most important releases of the year.
Where does the Galaxy S25 EDGE leak come from?
Before getting into the details, a basic rule of thumb in the tech world : not all leaks are created equal. In this case, the information comes from fairly reliable insiders, such as Ice Universe and some Asian supply chain sources, who have already been accurate about previous launches (such as the S24 Ultra or the Z Fold5).
Samsung is reportedly planning a mid-May 2025 launch event , about two months earlier than the traditional schedule. This would make sense considering:
-
Acceleration of the release cycle to compete with Huawei and Apple.
-
Faster production thanks to new assembly lines in Vietnam and Korea.
-
Growing demand for devices compatible with new 5G/6G networks in certain markets.
In short: It's not a crazy rumor. There are solid reasons that point to an S25 EDGE coming sooner than we expected.
