The Galaxy S25 Edge costs $100 more than the Galaxy S25 Plus, but $200 less than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's main selling point is its 5.8mm profile, which is 31% thinner than the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's also much lighter than Samsung's premium phone weighing just 5.75 ounces.
Yet despite its impressive profile and weight, the Galaxy S25 Edge still feels like an incredibly solid phone in our hands-on. That's thanks in part to its sturdy titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 covering the display.
On the hardware front you get a 6.7-inch AMOLED display with QHD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh, Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, 12GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage. There's also a 200MP main camera with 10x digital zoom and a 12MP front camera with 85-degree FOV. By comparison, the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus have 3x telephoto lenses capable of 30x zoom, while the Galaxy S25 Ultra has a 3x and 5x optical with 200x digital.
Finally, Samsung claims you'll get "all-day" battery life from the phone's 3,900 mAh battery. It's too early to tell how much battery life you'll really get, but the Galaxy S25 Ultra packs a massive 5,000 mAh battery, whereas the Galaxy S25 Plus houses a 4,900 mAh one. In other words, you'll want to keep that charger handy.
Galaxy S25 Edge pre-orders are live now and the phone will be widely available starting on May 30.

Apple invests another $100 billion in US manufacturing
President Trump called the Apple investment a 'significant step towards the ultimate goal of ensuring that iPhones sold in the United States of America are also made in America.' 'This is the largest investment Apple has ever made in America or anywhere else,' he said, alongside Apple CEO Tim Cook in the Oval Office. 'And it's just an honor to have you. As you know, Apple has been an investor in other countries a little bit— I won't say which ones, but a couple— and they're, they're coming home.' The announcement includes the launch of the American Manufacturing Program, which is dedicated to bringing more of Apple's supply chain to the U.S. and involves the tech giant incentivizing other companies to manufacture more critical components domestically. Trump said that investments will create more than 20,000 new American jobs and thousands of other jobs at Apple's suppliers, like Samsung and Corning. Cook, in the Oval Office, showed off a glass dish made in Kentucky, which was designed by a former Marine who works at Apple, that sits on a 24-karat gold base. He set it up on the Resolute Desk as a gift for Trump. The Apple CEO announced that every new iPhone and Apple Watch sold anywhere in the world will contain cover glass made in Kentucky. 'We're doing things in the United States instead of other countries. Far away countries,' Trump said. The president then touted other private sector investments into U.S. manufacturing, including Nvidia, Micron Technology, IBM and SoftBank.

Apple announces additional $100 billion in US investment, following Trump iPhone tariff threat
Apple (AAPL) announced plans to invest an additional $100 billion in US manufacturing commitments ahead of a press conference scheduled with President Trump at the White House Wednesday. The move follows Apple's prior $500 billion investment in US spending, which includes working with partners to build an AI server plant in Texas. Apple says that the $100 billion announcement includes its new American Manufacturing Program (AMP), which the company says will incentivize global companies to build critical components in the US. The tech giant says its first AMP partners will include Corning, Coherent, GlobalWafers America, Applied Materials, Texas Instruments, Samsung, GlobalFoundries, Amkor, and Broadcom. As part of the investment, Apple is making a $2.5 billion commitment to produce all of the cover glass for its iPhones and Apple Watches at Corning's Harrodsburg, Kentucky, manufacturing facility. The two companies will also work to open an Apple-Corning Innovation Center at the plant to help develop and engineer materials and next-generation manufacturing platforms for future Apple products. Apple also says it has entered into a multi-year agreement with Coherent to produce lasers for its Face ID feature for the iPhone and iPad. The company is also touting what is says is a end-to-end American silicon supply chain, which includes sourcing silicon wafers from GlobalWafers in Sherman, Texas, for use in American chip factories, working with Applied Materials to increase production of semiconductor manufacturing technologies, and getting semiconductors from Texas Instruments. Apple is further teaming up with Samsung to work on new chip making technologies at its plant in Austin, Texas, as well as with GlobalFoundries and Amkor for bring more chip manufacturing and packaging to the US, respectively. Apple's news comes after the Trump administration began pressuring the tech giant to manufacture its iPhone in the US, going so far as to threaten to impose a 25% tariff on the devices if the company didn't comply. Apple's announcement also comes as the company prepares for a new 25% tariff on goods destined for the US from India. That's in addition to an existing 25% levy Trump previously said he would apply to the country's products. Apple builds the majority of the iPhones headed to the US in India, after diversifying its supply chain beyond China following the COVID-19 pandemic. The company still produces iPhones for the rest of the world in China. Trump has repeatedly criticized Apple for building its iPhones abroad, with the administration saying the company should instead bring its manufacturing facilities to the US. In May, Trump said he "had a little problem with Tim Cook," while discussing the company's decision to build US iPhones in India. But industry experts say doing so would be a Herculean task even for Apple, due to a lack of available skilled workers and limited supply chain resources in the country. Even if those factors weren't an issue, it would take years to complete construction of an iPhone plant, at which point Trump would no longer be in office. During its most recent quarterly earnings report, Apple said it took an $800 million hit due to existing tariffs and anticipated an additional $1.1 billion in related costs in its current quarter.

Microsoft Planning Return-to-Office Mandate: Report
Microsoft employees at its headquarters in Redmond, Washington, may soon be mandated back to the office, according to new reports. Microsoft is planning to implement a stricter return-to-office mandate as soon as next year, sources told Business Insider. Since the pandemic, Microsoft has had a flexible work arrangement, allowing remote work as much as half of the time. According to the BI report, Microsoft is considering increasing the requirement for in-person work for employees based in its Redmond, Washington, headquarters to at least three days a week starting in January. Microsoft is still working out the details of the plan and intends to announce it in September, the sources said. A Microsoft spokesperson told BI that the company was considering revising its flexible work schedule, but had yet to finalize any changes. Related: Microsoft Just Became the Second Company in History to Achieve a $4 Trillion Valuation — Here's How A return-to-office mandate could impact tens of thousands of Microsoft employees. As of June 30, Microsoft employed 228,000 workers, with 125,000 located in the U.S. If Microsoft implements a stricter return-to-office policy, it would join a slew of other companies that have tightened the limits on remote work recently — or eliminated it altogether. In 2025, both AT&T and Sweetgreen revised their stances on remote work, with AT&T asking U.S. staff to work all five days from the office while Sweetgreen mandated four days. Both companies previously required staff to work in person three days a week. Meanwhile, Amazon announced a sweeping return-to-office mandate in September, requiring employees to work from the office five days a week starting in January instead of adhering to a hybrid schedule. Though the move met with pushback from staff — and inspired 500 employees to sign a letter in protest — Amazon persisted with the move. Related: Amazon Tells Thousands of Employees to Relocate or Resign According to a study conducted last year by Bamboo HR, return-to-office mandates were often layoffs in disguise, designed to pare down a workforce without conducting official job cuts. About a quarter of C-Suite executives surveyed wanted to inspire "voluntary turnover" with stricter return-to-office policies. Mass Layoffs Despite Stellar Earnings Microsoft recently conducted mass layoffs, eliminating 9,000 roles in July, or nearly 4% of its workforce. Two months earlier, in May, Microsoft laid off over 6,000 employees, or 3% of its workforce. At the same time, Microsoft has reported stellar earnings, greater than analyst expectations. Last month, Microsoft announced that for the quarter ending June 30, revenue was up 18% from the previous year, reaching $76.4 billion, while net income was $27.2 billion, a 24% increase. Related: Microsoft's CEO Says the Company's Mass Layoffs, Despite Financial Success, Are 'Weighing Heavily on Me' in an Internal Memo Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella explained the job cuts in a memo to staff released on Microsoft's corporate blog last month. Nadella acknowledged the discrepancy between Microsoft's "thriving" financials and his decision to still lay off staff. "This is the enigma of success in an industry that has no franchise value," Nadella wrote, without explaining further. Microsoft stock is up over 24% year-to-date at the time of writing.
