Samsung S25 Edge Launching in Nepal Soon: World’s Thinnest Flagship

Samsung first teased the S25 Edge during the S25 series launch in early January 2025. With its official release, the device now enters direct competition with Apple for the title of the thinnest flagship smartphone.

What is the price of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge in Nepal?

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge price in Nepal could be Rs. 1,50,999 for the 12/256GB variant and Rs. 1,60,999 for the 12/512GB variant.

Globally, the phone is available for pre-booking, with official sales starting on May 30. Based on previous S25 series launches in Nepal, we can expect it to arrive sometime in early June 2025.

Unlike the rest of the S25 lineup, the S25 Edge looks nothing like its siblings and clearly didn’t get the same inheritance, at least design-wise. Samsung has trimmed down a bunch of specs just to squeeze it into that ultra-slim body.

Let’s break down the specs and see what’s really going on.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Overview

Design and Build

It’s clear that Samsung is aiming to win the race against Apple’s iPhone 17 Air in creating the slimmest and lightest flagship. The S25 Edge comes in at just 5.8mm thick and weighs only 163g—a remarkable feat considering the powerhouse processor inside. However, achieving this slim profile comes with compromises. The phone may heat more than usual or even throttle under heavy load.

A notable design shift is the updated camera module, now featuring a subtle, pill-shaped elevation housing only two lenses—a step back in capability.

Due to the thinner frame, the volume rocker and power button are also ever so slightly slimmer than those on the other S25 models.

Despite its slimness, the S25 Edge doesn’t skimp on durability. It uses a titanium frame like the S25 Ultra and features Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 on the front. On the back, it’s protected by Gorilla Glass Victus 2 and comes with an IP68 rating for water and dust resistance.

Display

The display on the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is the same as that of the S25+. It features a 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X panel with a QHD+ (1440 x 3120 pixels) resolution and a dynamic refresh rate ranging from 1 to 120Hz.

The S25 Edge gets the newly introduced ProScaler feature, which uses AI to upscale content quality. This means HD or FHD videos can appear closer to QHD resolution, enhancing the viewing experience significantly.

Hardware

Like the other S25 models, the Samsung S25 Edge is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite. It’s a highly energy-efficient chip, though it does tend to run a bit hot. Despite the compact form factor, Samsung has managed to include a small vapor chamber to keep thermals in check.

The 8 Elite is a powerhouse SoC, so you can expect performance on par with the rest of the S25 lineup. And finally, it pairs 12GB RAM with 256GB or 512GB storage.

Camera

The camera department is where we see most of the compromises. There is the same 200MP main camera featured on the S25 Ultra, which is impressive considering how thin the phone is. Below that is a 12MP ultra-wide—and that’s about it.

Unfortunately, there is no telephoto lens, or should I say, there is no room for it.

On the front, you will see a 12MP selfie shooter. The main camera can record video up to 8K at 30fps, 4K at 30/60/120fps, and 1080p at 30/60/120/240fps. The front camera can shoot up to 4K at 30/60fps.

On the software side, features like “Best Face” and “Audio Eraser” add some flair. Best Face lets you swap faces in group photos to fix issues like blinking eyes, while Audio Eraser reduces background noise in videos for a cleaner audio experience.

Galaxy AI

Galaxy AI has been a key highlight of Samsung’s S-series for a couple of years now, and the S25 lineup brings even more intuitive changes. It looks like all those AI features are making their way to the S25 Edge as well.

To start, Galaxy AI now understands on-device context and natural language, allowing you to find settings or photos just by describing them. Thanks to a partnership between Google and Samsung, Gemini and Bixby can now work together seamlessly.

On-device AI also powers the new “Now Brief” section, which curates relevant information and is easily accessible via the Now Bar.

Fan-favorite “Circle to Search” gets an upgrade too—it can now recognize audio playing on the device, as well as detect phone numbers, emails, and URLs for instant actions. Other AI tools include Call Transcript and Summarization, Drawing Assist, and Writing Assist.

Battery and OS

The slim form factor of the S25 Edge comes at a cost—just a 3,900mAh battery with 25W wired charging, which is a major downgrade compared to the S25+’s 4,900mAh and 45W charging, despite the Edge costing more. On the bright side, it does retain 15W wireless charging.

Samsung went with a Silicon Ion battery instead of a Silicon Carbon one, which would’ve made more sense given the compact size.

A few years ago, 3,900mAh might’ve been fine. But in 2025, when budget phones are flexing 5,000 or even 6,000mAh, this feels like bringing a knife to a gunfight.

Lastly, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge gets an Android 15 with OneUI 7 on top and supports seven years of security updates and OS upgrades.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Price in Nepal and Availability

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge price in Nepal could be Rs. 1,50,999 for the 12/256GB variant and Rs. 1,60,999 for the 12/512GB variant.

The phone has just made its global debut, and while there’s no official word on its Nepal launch yet, if past S25 series release timelines are anything to go by, we could see it arrive as early as the beginning of June.

Price-wise, the S25 Edge sits just below the S25 Ultra—but with a trimmed-down camera and battery specs for the sake of thinness, it feels like it belongs at the bottom of the S25 lineup. That said, if you’re willing to trade some features for a razor-thin design, the S25 Edge could still be the one for you.
