The leaks leading up to the launch of the Galaxy S25 series had me excited. It looked like Samsung would be releasing four Galaxy S25 models simultaneously, with the fourth model being a “slim” device that would be thinner and lighter than the Ultra while retaining some of its upgraded cameras.
So, after buying every Ultra from the Galaxy S20 Ultra to the S24 Ultra, and for the first time since the inception of Samsung’s Ultra lineup, I had decided not to buy the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Instead, my heart was set on a lighter and more comfortable phone, and I was certain that it would be the new Slim — now known as the Galaxy S25 Edge.
