Samsung just teased the Galaxy S25 Edge at the end of its Unpacked event, and The Verge’s Allison Johnson got a first look at it. Like Apple’s rumored iPhone Air, the Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be a super-skinny version of Samsung’s flagship line, measuring 6.4mm thick, according to recent rumors.

00:00Everybody is super excited about this phone.
00:02I haven't seen excitement about a phone this way in many years.
00:07So I'm at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked,
00:10and I just got a look at the new Samsung Galaxy Edge that they're teasing.
00:15Of course, the S25 phones are here,
00:18but everybody is excited to see this Edge phone.
00:22And it's the slim phone that was all in the rumors.
00:26Samsung made a quick mention of it at the end of the presentation.
00:29Kind of one more thing style.
00:31And it's actually here, or a prototype, or something.
00:37And it is super slim, as you'd expect.
00:40There are two cameras instead of three,
00:42so that'll be something to watch out for if and when this phone ships.
00:47And there's not much else to say about it, except that it's very thin.
00:50It was hard to take a photograph of from the side,
00:53because it kind of felt like it disappeared.
00:55The other thing to note is that everybody is super excited about this phone.
00:59I haven't seen excitement about a phone this way in many years.
01:05The place is mobbed, there's security,
01:08we're elbowing each other to get in and take pictures of the phone.
01:11It's old school stuff.
01:12So price? We don't know.
01:15When's it going to ship? We don't know.
01:17Will it have Galaxy AI? Probably.
01:21There's a ton we don't know about this phone,
01:23but still, it's cool to see something new.
01:25New year, new phones, here we are.
01:28I gotta say, I love this old school gadget vlogging energy with the crowd here.
01:34The phones themselves weren't super exciting, but I don't know,
01:37maybe this other stuff could be something to look forward to in 2025.
