Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge live: Updates from the Unpacked event

4 hours ago 2

The wait is almost over: Samsung’s next Unpacked shindig happens tonight. This time, the company isn’t even being coy about what it will reveal. The ultra-slim Galaxy S25 Edge will make its long-awaited debut in just a few hours, but we've already started our liveblog below, so scroll down to see the latest.

You can stream the event live here if you like — it starts at 8PM ET tonight (May 12). We've embedded Samsung's YouTube stream below, or you can click over to Samsung's newsroom if you prefer.

While the Galaxy S25 Edge has remained largely under wraps, some leaks are popping up just ahead of gametime. A credible (albeit unconfirmed) set of photos from Android Headlines (spotted via 9to5Google) shows the purported S25 Edge in comparison to the S25 Ultra, looking noticeably slimmer indeed. If that whets your appetite, a more comprehensive accounting of Galaxy S25 Edge rumors and info (including its supposed AI-powered "smart lens") is available from Engadget’s Lawrence Bonk.

Speaking of foldables, though, we did see a Galaxy Z Flip leak today, courtesy of the folks at Android Authority. Sure, this isn't the Unpacked for a Galaxy Z Flip 7, but we can certainly look forward to a slightly larger external screen on Samsung's compact foldable phone.

Even though this event is billed as an "Unpacked," it sure doesn't feel like one of the company's typical launches, which usually happen in spring and summer. The former tends to be a showcase for the Galaxy S series of flagship phones, while the latter has in recent years been when we saw Samsung's Z series of foldables, with tablets and wearables scattered across the two. Today, we're expecting only the Galaxy S25 Edge, although who knows? Samsung might have surprises for us.

If you want to see what Samsung showed us in January, here's our article on the company's tasty little tease of the Galaxy S25 Edge that was published during Galaxy Unpacked earlier this year.

Hello everyone and welcome to our liveblog of yet another Samsung Galaxy Unpacked. For those keeping count, this is the second Unpacked of 2025, and we doubt it'll be the last. As the company has already made clear, today's event will be about the Galaxy S25 Edge, which was teased at the Galaxy S25 series launch in January. How excited are you about a very, very, very thin phone?
