Reportedly measuring just 5.85mm in thickness and weighing only 163 grams, it's expected to be among the thinnest and lightest premium smartphones on the market. With this expected thinness, it is almost difficult to compare this phone with the rumoured Apple iPhone 17 Air, which is tipped to be the thinnest iPhone ever. Beased on the leaks, the iPhone 17 Air will be even slimmer than the S25 Edge. Want to know more about the differences? Read it here.

For added durability, the display is likely to be shielded by Corning's Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, while the rear panel is set to use Gorilla Glass Victus 2. A titanium frame further enhances the phone's premium feel. At launch, the phone is expected to be available in three-colour options: Titanium Blue, Titanium Silver, and Titanium Black.advertisementCamera: Samsung has officially confirmed that the Galaxy S25 Edge will come with a 200-megapixel main rear camera—likely the same sensor featured in the Galaxy S25 Ultra. This will be complemented by a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, offering versatility in photography.Chipset: On the performance front, the device is tipped to be powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, coupled with 12GB of RAM. This setup should deliver strong performance, whether for heavy apps or multitasking. The phone is expected to run Samsung's One UI 7, built on Android 15.Battery: Despite its ultra-slim form, the Galaxy S25 Edge is rumoured to include a 3,900mAh battery. It will reportedly support 25W wired charging along with the newer Qi2 standard for wireless charging. While the battery size may seem modest compared to bulkier rivals, it reflects Samsung's commitment to maintaining a sleek, lightweight design.However, it is crucial to note that all these details are based on rumours and leaks, and must be read with a pinch of salt. That said, you do not have to wait too long for the official details to kick in. Just wait till May 13, 1PM.

Honda EV O Electric Motorcycle Launched In China; Unlikely To Be Launched In India
Honda recently took the wraps off its first ever electric motorcycle and has launched the same in China. The Honda EV O was designed and developed with Guangzhou, Honda's Chinese partner, under the brand name Wuyang-Honda. The EV O is offered in two variants - one with 4.1 kWh dual-battery pack and the other with a 6.2 kWh triple-battery pack. The former has a claimed range of 120 km and the latter has a range of 170 km. Prices for the EV O start at 29,999 yuan (Rs. 3.56 lakh) and go up to 36,999 yuan (Rs. 4.4 lakh), based on current exchange rates. The 4.1 kWh variant weighs 143 kg and requires approximately 1.5 hours for a full charge with a home-charger and 1 hour with a fast-charger. It has a top speed of 110 kmph. In contrast, the 6.2 kWh version tips the scales at 156 kg and extends the charging time to around 2.5 hours. Both models get the same electric motor which has a peak power output 15.3 kW. Built around a forged aluminium chassis, the Honda EV O features a distinctive 16-inch front and 14-inch rear wheel setup. Braking duties are handled by single disc brakes at both ends and dual-channel ABS is standard. In terms of technology, the EV O gets dual dash cam offering. The base 4.1 kWh variant includes a front-facing camera, while the 6.2 kWh model adds a rear dash cam for comprehensive video recording. Both trims come equipped with twin seven-inch TFT displays, offering access to features such as navigation, riding mode selection, music control, and a tyre pressure monitoring system. There are three riding modes on offer too - Eco, Normal, Sport. The design on the Honda EV O is that of a retro café racer and the battery pack in neatly integrated into the Aluminium chassis. Other design highlights include a round LED headlight, clip-on handlebar, single-piece seat and bar-end mirrors, details that you would see on a modern classic motorcycle. The fact that Honda built this motorcycle with a Chinese partner means that it is unlikely to be launched in India. It could have been a good alternative to the Ultraviolette F77.
