The ultra‑slim Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge just delivered its first major price cut—right on Amazon—leapfrogging any hype around the future iPhone 17 Air. With $220 sliced off the MSRP, this sleek flagship is now firmly under $1,000 for the 512 GB model, marking a savvy win for early adopters looking for premium design without the full flagship price tag.
Findings on the Fantastic First Cut
Samsung’s 6.7‑inch, 5.8 mm‑thin masterpiece launched on May 30, 2025, with high expectations—and a hefty $1,219 MSRP. Today, Amazon’s 512 GB Titanium Icy Blue variant is down to just $999.99—a smart 18 percent markdown—and undercuts Samsung’s own direct offer.
TechRadar’s lead dealsmith confirms the Edge has “$220 sliced off its list price,” calling it “a lot more of a compelling flagship phone… super‑slim frame,” and urges shoppers to act fast. PhoneArena echoes the excitement, reporting it as Amazon’s “first‑ever Galaxy S25 Edge deal … a real head‑turner.”
Why This Matters
At launch, the S25 Edge distinguished itself as Samsung’s thinnest Galaxy S phone yet—just 5.8 mm thin and weighing 163 g. It boasts the same Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, titanium frame with Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, a premium 200 MP main camera, and full Galaxy AI features—with a trade‑off in battery size compared to the S25+ and Ultra.
While some critiques flagged its middling battery life and slower charging, reviews highlight its pocket‑friendly build and standout display. Now, at under $1,000, the Edge reduces much of the initial hesitation. TechRadar notes that the price drop “makes it a decent price, one that means its few shortcomings are easier to overlook.”
The Broader Deal Landscape
Amazon’s early Prime Day teasers include other flagship deals: the Galaxy S25 Plus (512 GB) is listed at $869.99 (from $1,119.99), and the S25 Ultra (512 GB) drops to $1,119.99 (from $1,419.99). But the Edge stands out—not just for its fold‑worthy design but for being the thinnest and now most affordable in its class.
