With full Galaxy AI support, the Galaxy S25 Edge proves slim doesn't mean simple
Despite its sleek size, the Galaxy S25 Edge doesn't cut corners on performance or features. Like the rest of the S25 lineup, it is fully loaded with Galaxy AI – designed to make your phone feel more natural, more helpful and more in tune with your daily life.
Samsung says the Edge brings its 'most natural and context-aware' AI experience yet. That includes personalized, multimodal AI that keeps your data safe thanks to on-device processing and Knox Vault.
For those unfamiliar, Samsung Knox Vault adds an extra layer of protection with a secure processor and memory chip that stores sensitive stuff – like passwords, biometrics and PINs – in isolated zones away from the main system.
So what can Galaxy AI actually do? A lot. Just like on the standard S25 models, the S25 Edge features AI agents that work across multiple apps to help you get things done quicker and easier. For example, the Now Brief and Now Bar features are more useful now, thanks to third-party app support. You will get smarter suggestions, helpful reminders during commutes or dining out and more.For those who haven't seen these features in action: Now Bar lets you display stuff like music controls, notifications and routine settings right on your lock screen. Meanwhile, Now Brief delivers a live, personalized content feed that updates throughout the day.
Samsung's partnership with Google continues to play a big role here, too. Galaxy S25 Edge supports Gemini's newest features – including Gemini Live, which lets you show the assistant what is on your screen or in your camera's view and interact with it in real time.
Of course, AI is all over the camera system, too. The S25 Edge comes loaded with high-end camera tools, smart AI features and more. You are looking at all the goodies from the Galaxy S25 series, such as: AI-powered camera: Takes sharper, smarter shots by recognizing scenes and objects.

Ask Gemini to take multiple steps across apps like Maps, YouTube, Spotify – and even Samsung's own Notes, Clock, Calendar and Reminders. Circle to Search 2.0: Now smart enough to recognize phone numbers, emails and links on-screen and suggest instant actions.
With all these features on board, the Galaxy S25 Edge delivers the same AI muscle as the rest of the S25 series – but in a way slimmer body. If AI features are what you are after, you will feel right at home. If not, there is still plenty more to like here and we will break it all down in our full review once we've had some proper hands-on time with the phone.
And whether the new features introduced with the Galaxy S25 Edge will make their way to the rest of the series is still not clear, but I'm betting they will. After all, it is hard to imagine the Ultra missing out on features that the other Galaxy phones have.

The Galaxy S26 may have a surprise under the hood
Apparently, a Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 may still be in the works, according to a prominent leaker. Reportedly, the chip may be cheaper than the one that TSMC makes, which should be good news for the Galaxy S26 prices. There have been conflicting rumors about the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 processor, which may power Samsung's next year flagship series, the Galaxy S26 . Rumor has it that the chip may be manufactured by both TSMC and Samsung. And now, a reputable tipster is chiming in, reiterating this claim. Digital Chat Station is now claiming on Weibo that the so-called SM8850s chipset has not been cancelled yet. Reportedly, this model number could stand for the Samsung-made Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2 chip. Meanwhile, the standard, TSMC-made Snapdragon chip is reportedly sporting model number SM8850. In a follow-up comment, DCS also claims that the processor manufactured by Samsung would be cheaper than the one coming from TSMC. If this rumor turns out to be true and Qualcomm indeed goes with this dual-sourcing strategy, it's highly likely that the Galaxy S26 phones may come with the chip made by Samsung. This would be good news for the pricing of the phones, which could ensure Samsung doesn't have to raise prices for the S26 lineup as much. Meanwhile, a cheaper Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 could also be used for base flagships from other brands, including Xiaomi and Honor, which would allow for price freezes in different areas. But of course, many of you probably know that Samsung's chip manufacturing has traditionally lagged behind TSMC. Unfortunately, we've seen previously that chips made by Samsung lag in performance and efficiency. So it's likely that the TSMC-made Snapdragon chip may be technically better performing than its Samsung twin brother. It's also likely, though, that Samsung manages to catch up to TSMC and its chip to be comparable to the TSMC-made one too. Meanwhile, we've previously heard that Samsung may offer the in-house Exynos 2600 to some Galaxy S26 models. From all it seems, Samsung appears not to have made its final decision about the processor powering these phones just yet. Samsung's main competitor, Apple, has been making its own processor for iPhones for quite a while, and Apple's processors are top-notch, powerful, and I do hope that Samsung takes its time and makes the right call here. Whether it's its own chip, one from TSMC, or its in-house Exynos, what matters most to users is having a phone that runs fast, stays cool, and doesn't drain the battery too quickly. If Samsung can pull that off while keeping prices down, that's a win for everyone. Let's see how it all plays out – fingers crossed for a smart choice that keeps the Galaxy S26 series strong and competitive!

Samsung's marvelous Galaxy S24 Ultra is a timeless bargain at a towering $500 discount
Is age one of the main factors you take into consideration when looking for a new high-end smartphone to buy? Hopefully not, because some devices are oftentimes more attractive a year or a year and a half after their commercial debut. Take the Galaxy S24 Ultra. Replaced by a thinner, lighter, and more powerful S25 Ultra with a (slightly) larger screen in tow at the top of the Android food chain around six months ago, the early 2024-released 6.8-inch giant remains one of the best phones you can get... at $799.99. $500 off (38%) 5G, Unlocked, 256GB Storage, 12GB RAM, Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 Processor, 6.8-Inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X Display with 3120 x 1440 Pixel Resolution and 120Hz Refresh Rate Technology, Titanium Frame, 200 + 50 + 10 + 12MP Quad Rear-Facing Camera System, 12MP Front-Facing Camera, 5,000mAh Battery with 45W Charging Capabilities, Android 14 with One UI 6.1, Galaxy AI, S Pen Included, Three Color Options Buy at BestBuy That was obviously not Samsung's original list price for the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 powerhouse, but if you hurry, you can save a whopping 500 bucks at Best Buy without having to meet any special requirements. That's right, the S24 Ultra's "regular" price of $1,299.99 in an entry-level 256GB storage variant is currently marked down by no less than 38 percent in a grand total of three different color options sans obligatory memberships, device trade-ins, number port-ins, or upfront carrier activations. This is an incredibly rare deal, mind you, only eclipsed by Amazon for a few hours last week, which almost certainly means that you don't have a lot of time to maximize your Galaxy S24 Ultra savings without jumping through hoops, especially if you have a clear favorite among the Titanium Black, Titanium Gray, and Titanium Violet hues deeply discounted here. This bad boy's built-in S Pen, gorgeous 6.8-inch Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 2X display, 5,000mAh battery, 200 + 10 + 50 + 12MP quad rear-facing camera system, aforementioned Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 processor, and silky smooth software have all basically aged like fine wine, and of course, Samsung is planning to deliver multiple major OS updates to the S24 Ultra without delay, which essentially guarantees your long-term satisfaction with your purchase if you decide to take advantage of Best Buy's outstanding new deal above.
