A possible render of the Galaxy S25 Edge.

A historically trusted source has reached out to us to indicate that the Galaxy S25 Edge (or however it ends up being called) may come to 39 markets. While this is not an exhaustive list and it should be taken with a grain of salt, we can’t help but notice how the US is not among the listed territories.

Friday brought a major shocker: the Galaxy S25 Edge may not be just ‘delayed’ until May - it may never arrive at all, at least in the US. Rumors about this phone have been swirling for months, building plenty of hype, but it seems its slim, chic design might not make an appearance for everyone who’s been eagerly waiting to see it.

The source lists 39 countries and regions where the Galaxy S25 Edge, or Special Edition, is very possible to be available in:

Afghanistan
Australia
Austria
Brazil
Caucasus
Croatia
Egypt
France
India
Iraq
Ireland
Israel
Kazakhstan
Kenya
Libya
Malaysia
Mexico
Morocco
Nigeria
Pakistan
Philippines
Poland
Portugal
Russia
Saudi Arabia
Senegal
Serbia/Montenegro
Singapore
Slovenia
South Africa
Srilanka
Switzerland
Thailand
Tunisia
Turkey
UAE
United Kingdom
Uzbekistan
Vietnam

Parallels were drawn earlier between the Galaxy Z Fold Special Edition, which is available only in South Korea (and in China with cosmetic changes and another name) and the S25 Edge. The S25 Edge may therefore show up as a Special Edition or something similar. So, if you’re lucky enough to live in one of the listed countries, the news above is definitely something to celebrate.

Despite this, the Galaxy S25 Edge - or Special Edition - and some of its leaked details have raised some eyebrows. The reason why is it may not be that much slimmer than the regular Galaxy S25 models set to debut on Wednesday. With a rumored thickness of 6.4mm, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to position itself between the Galaxy S25 Plus and Ultra in terms of pricing and marketing within the aforementioned markets.

The Galaxy S25 Edge was initially expected to compete with the rumored iPhone 17 Air - an ultra-slim device reportedly measuring just 5.5mm thick. However, for those eager to flaunt such a sleek, thin design, both phones are likely to disappoint due to their smaller-than-expected batteries, a trade-off for their slim profiles. Or, who knows? Samsung and Apple might pull a surprise OnePlus 13-inspired move and have these phones be the first with silicon carbon batteries.

Samsung's Galaxy S25 series event is just a couple of days away now, scheduled for this Wednesday. Although at this point it seems rather unlikely that we'll even get a mention of the Edge Galaxy, we could still see a teaser about it (but I'm now doubting this as well).
