Samsung Announces Galaxy Unpacked Event for May 13, Unveiling the Highly Anticipated Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge
Samsung officially announced its next Galaxy Unpacked event, setting the stage for the global debut of its latest flagship smartphone, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. The virtual event is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, 13th May at 8:00 AM Korean Standard Time or 9:00 AM Malaysia Time. The announcement aligns with numerous prior leaks that had pointed towards a mid-May launch for the device.
The South Korean tech giant has generated significant buzz around the upcoming device, describing the Galaxy S25 Edge as “both a powerful AI companion and an engineering marvel.” This suggests a strong emphasis on advanced artificial intelligence capabilities integrated seamlessly with cutting-edge hardware design.
Expected Sleek Design and Powerful Internals
While Samsung’s official announcement remained relatively tight-lipped regarding specific hardware details, a wealth of information has already surfaced through various leaks and industry insiders. Reports widely expect the Galaxy S25 Edge to boast an exceptionally slim profile, measuring approximately 5.85mm thick.
To begin with, we expect the display to feature a vibrant 6.7-inch QHD AMOLED panel. Additionally, it will feature a smooth 120Hz adaptive refresh rate, delivering an immersive viewing experience. Moving on to performance, the high-performance Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset will likely power the device. This, in turn, brings it in line with the rest of the Galaxy S25 family. As for memory and storage, configurations are expected to include 12GB of RAM. Furthermore, internal storage options may reach up to 512GB, making it ideal for power users and media enthusiasts alike.
Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S25 Edge will feature a high-resolution 200MP wide-angle lens as part of its rumoured dual-camera system. This suggests a significant focus on photography capabilities, promising detailed and high-quality images. Despite its slender form factor, the device aims to offer IP68 certification for water and dust resistance, giving users added durability and peace of mind. However, reports suggest it includes a 3,900mAh battery, which could be a concern considering the phone’s powerful features.
Pricing details for the Galaxy S25 Edge remain unconfirmed by Samsung. However, industry insiders speculate that the company will position the device in a similar price range to the premium Galaxy S25 Ultra, signalling a top-tier offering.
Global Livestream Event on 13th May
The Galaxy Unpacked event will be a virtual affair, livestreamed for global audiences through Samsung’s Newsroom, official website, and YouTube channel. Tech enthusiasts and potential customers worldwide, including those in Malaysia, can tune in at 9:00 AM MYT on Tuesday, 13th May to witness the official unveiling of the Galaxy S25 Edge and learn more about its innovative features and specifications.
