Samsung Gulf Electronics has opened pre-orders for the Galaxy S25 Edge across the UAE, offering customers early access to the company’s latest addition to its flagship S Series lineup. The pre-order window is open until May 29, with both 256GB and 512GB storage configurations available. A limited-time promotion offers the higher-capacity 512GB model at the same price as the 256GB variant, AED 4,299.
The Galaxy S25 Edge marks a continued shift toward thinner, more compact premium smartphones, measuring just 5.8mm in thickness and weighing 163 grams. The device features a titanium frame and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for improved durability, aiming to strike a balance between portability and everyday resilience. This design direction echoes broader industry trends toward lightweight, minimalist form factors, even in high-performance devices.
Samsung has equipped the S25 Edge with a 200MP wide-angle primary camera and a 12MP ultra-wide lens with autofocus, continuing the S Series emphasis on mobile photography. The camera system includes improvements to low-light performance—branded as “Nightography”—and supports macro capabilities. Pro-level features include AI-based enhancements for texture accuracy and skin tone correction, optimized by Samsung’s ProVisual Engine.
The device is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Mobile Platform for Galaxy, developed in collaboration with Qualcomm. Samsung claims enhancements in image processing and on-device AI performance, supported by its ProScaler system and custom mDNIe display engine. These upgrades aim to improve scaling quality and display precision without significantly increasing power consumption.
On the software front, Samsung has further expanded its Galaxy AI suite, offering features like Audio Eraser and Drawing Assist, designed for creative and editing tasks. The phone also introduces Now Brief and Now Bar, AI tools that integrate third-party apps to provide contextual assistance throughout the day. With deeper integration of Google’s Gemini AI, users can engage in real-time visual interactions, either through screen content or the phone’s camera.
Security remains a focus, with Samsung’s Knox Vault platform handling sensitive data and enabling on-device AI to process user information without cloud exposure.
The Galaxy S25 Edge will be available in three finishes—Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue. Both configurations are available through Samsung.com, Samsung retail locations, and e& outlets. Samsung positions this release as an evolution of its S Series identity, offering high-end capabilities in a slimmer, more user-friendly profile that appeals to those who prioritize portability without sacrificing performance or AI-driven features.
As pre-orders begin, it remains to be seen how the device performs in the UAE market, particularly among users seeking premium design and integrated AI tools without transitioning to foldables or bulkier performance-focused phones.
