Samsung were the first to formally announce their “thin” phone, but Apple is coming in hot with their version later this year – we’ll never know who came up with the idea first but it appears Samsung will be the first to capitalise.
We’ve got exclusive hands on access to a dummy model of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, a device that has been shown to media until now only behind barriers and on display.
Similar to the iPhone dummies we’ve received for many years, this Samsung model is made by Chinese factories using leaked information ahead of the device’s release. The dummy models allow case manufacturers to ready their protective accessories in time for the device launching in market.
