Samsung will host a virtual Unpacked event on May 12 at 8PM ET. It streams
live at the Samsung Newsroom and on the companyΓÇÖs official YouTube page.

The company promises a look at "the next evolution of Galaxy" devices and
that itΓÇÖll unveil "more about the latest addition to the Galaxy S series."
This means weΓÇÖll get more juicy tidbits about that slim Galaxy S25 Edge
smartphone that was first teased at an Unpacked event in January.

What to expect: Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

The company has confirmed via a blog post that the event will shine a light
on the Galaxy S25 Edge, which was a long-rumored device before the official
tease a few months ago. Samsung did give us a bit of information regarding
specs. It offers a slimmer form factor than the standard S25 and includes an
impressive 200MP wide camera lens.

The company also boasts that the phone will integrate with Galaxy AI to help
the camera transform "into a smart lens that helps recognize what matters to
create new memories." We donΓÇÖt know if that translates to brand-new camera
software or if the companyΓÇÖs referring to the pre-existing suite of AI
tools available with its newer handsets.

We're still in the dark regarding traditional specs. SamsungΓÇÖs blog post is
heavy on hyperbole, calling the S25 Edge "a powerful AI companion and an
engineering marvel" that merges "flagship-level performance with superior
portability."

The company goes on to say the new handset "not only sets a new standard for
what you can achieve with your smartphone, but it also unlocks a new era of
growth for the mobile industry." WeΓÇÖll find out just how true these words
are on May 12.

Will this Unpacked event start and stop with the S25 Edge? ThatΓÇÖs likely,
but itΓÇÖs always possible that Samsung will throw a curveball our way. Maybe
the standard S25 Edge will get companion smartphones that are more powerful,
like the S25+ or S25 Ultra. ItΓÇÖs also highly possible the company will
reveal a new AI tool or two.
