Samsung announced the new Galaxy S25 Series back in January, and later that same month teased a fourth, thinner phone, the Galaxy S25 Edge. It wasn't until last week that we finally learned more about the new device Samsung is calling the "slimmest Galaxy S Series ever."
Intrigued? You can already preorder it, and both Samsung and Amazon offering deals in the lead-up to the S25 Edge's release on May 30.
The phone sounds like a winner: It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip, comes with 12GB of RAM, and starts with 256GB of storage. It also has a dual camera setup with a 200 MP wide lens and 12 MP ultra-wide and front lenses. And it's super thin at around 5.84mm.
It's pretty sweet when retailers offer pre-order deals for flagship products. They don't happen very often, and once the products are released, it's rare to see a similar opportunity for at least a couple of months. Right now, both Samsung and Amazon are offering a free upgrade to 512GB from the basic 256GB option, allowing you to choose the unlocked version from among the same three colors.
But that's where the similarities stop.
What do you think so far?
If you have a phone to trade in, go with Samsung's offer
Samsung is offering up to $630 in trade-in credits when preordering the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. You can trade in more than one phone if you want as well. If you go with Samsung, you'll also get their Samsung Care+ Theft and Loss program free for three months. Finally, if for some reason you want to upgrade again within 12 months, you'll get at least 50% of the MSRP of the new phone.
If you don't have a trade-in, Amazon is offering a $50 gift card
If you don't have a trade-in or want to try your luck selling your older phone yourself, go with Amazon's deal. You'll get the same delivery timing and price, a one-year warranty, and a $50 Amazon gift card that Samsung doesn't offer.
