Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year at the Galaxy Unpacked event. However, details about the phone have more or less remained limited. Now, new leaks revealed what materials the device could feature, making it stand out from the rest of the Galaxy S25 series. Here’s what we know so far.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge Could Have a Ceramic Back

According to a recent Sammobile report, the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge could feature a ceramic back.

Ceramic is known for being highly scratch-resistant but it can also be more brittle than glass, meaning it may crack more easily if dropped on a hard surface. In contrast, the other models in the S25 series come with Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which has proven to survive drops from head height onto concrete.

Despite these concerns, the Galaxy S25 Edge is said to be much lighter than the Ultra model, reportedly weighing just 160 grams, according to Ice Universe. Samsung may have opted for ceramic to help reduce weight, as advanced ceramic materials can be lighter than glass while still offering durability.

Moreover, leaks suggest that the middle frame of the S25 Edge will be made of aluminium similar to the base and plus models in the series.

The Sammobile report further mentions, “We still don’t know whether the phone’s back is entirely ceramic or a version of glass with fused ceramic material. Regardless, it appears different from the other Galaxy S25 series phones, which use Gorilla Glass Victus 2 on the back. Samsung might have done this to reduce the phone’s weight.”

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge – Expected Specs

Previous rumours have hinted that the S25 Edge is expected to run on the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor. While there is a 7-core version of the chip, leaks indicate that the S25 Edge will feature the 8-core version, the same one used in the other S25 models. The same has been confirmed by a recent Geekbench listing.

The phone is also rumoured to have a 3,900mAh battery, which is 100mAh smaller than the base model. This super-slim flagship is reportedly less than 6mm thick and is expected to launch in the second quarter of this year.

While there is no update on the exact launch date, we can expect more details should emerge soon.
