The Galaxy S25 series is still in the rumormill. However, a juicy leak has just landed regarding the camera setup of the Galaxy S25 Edge. This beautiful, yet-unseen phone is about to land a photographic blow hard enough that it will shake even the throne of the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Let's dive in to the details.
Galaxy S25 Edge Concept Art: Two Cameras, One Big Sensor - 200MP on the Edge
Yes, it is true. According to tipster @PandaFlashPro, the Galaxy S25 Edge, despite only having two rear cameras, might inherit the very same 200MP primary sensor expected to headline the Galaxy S25 Ultra. That's serious imaging firepower packed into what's expected to be a thinner, more design-focused phone.
Let's remember the word "Edge" in the name. It's very likely that Samsung is positioning this model as a style statement. Some features might be traded off to achieve that sleek profile. Hence, the dual-camera setup is a departure from the quad-camera arrays we often see on Ultra models.
Ultrawide Details: Same as Standard S25
What about the ultra-wide shooter? The leak mentions a 12MP ultra-wide camera on the Galaxy S25 Edge. This is the very same ultra-wide unit as will supposedly go in the standard Galaxy S25. This detail raises some questions. Samsung is apparently adopting the Ultra's 200MP main sensor in the Edge. Why not similarly upgrade the ultra-wide for a top-tier experience too
Cost could be a factor. Or Samsung might be ensuring the Ultra has a better ultrawide and telephoto setup. They could be putting a flagship-caliber main camera onto the Edge for photography enthusiasts with a taste for sleek design.
Sacrifices and Sensibilities: Gorilla Glass and Snapdragon Power
The rumor mill also points at other areas where the Galaxy S25 Edge may differ from its Ultra sibling. For example, while the Ultra is expected to boast the latest Gorilla Armor 2 glass, the Edge might stick with Gorilla Glass Victus 2. Gorilla Glass Victus 2 is strong enough but a step down in terms of premium protection. Still, under the hood, performance should not be compromised. There are whispers of an overclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset and generous 12GB of LPDDR5X RAM.
The Galaxy S25 Edge does seem like it will be an interesting device. A slimmer design is being married to a potentially class-leading 200MP primary camera. It will be one proposition for those who want flagship photography without the bulk of an "Ultra" phone. The dual-camera setup might be a little controversial. But if that 200MP sensor is indeed the real deal, the Galaxy S25 Edge will be in an entirely different league altogether. As we inch closer to the purported Q2 launch, we will watch for more information.
