Behold, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

We weren't allowed to touch it. We took photos though.

Samsung has been teasing its super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge since CES in January, and now the company brought a bunch of actual devices to Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona.

There was a catch, though: I wasn't allowed to touch them.

Instead, all I could do is take photos of the array of Edges that Samsung brought and hung in a small display surrounded by strict guards. Strict enough to repeatedly tell me to back away from the phones, or else.

Anyway, there you have it: the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. We still don't have any specs, and we don't even know just how thin it is.

Frankly, even though I was able to see the device from a relatively small distance (eat it, security guard), I still can't tell you how thin this phone is. It surely isn't fat, but given its flat frame, it doesn't look nearly as thin as, say, Tecno's Spark Slim, which was also on display here in Barcelona.

What I can tell you is that there's a dual camera bump on the back, and it's a big one. It slightly undermines the phone's slimness, but it does, probably, mean that this phone will have some capable camera hardware.

With Samsung lugging this thing around now, I guess they have to launch it sometime. Sooner rather than later, hopefully.
