Samsung has launched its Galaxy S25 Edge smartphone but is tempting customers to stick with the current models in a surprise sale
Samsung has cut hundreds of pounds off the Samsung S25 following the announcement of a new edition to its smartphone range. On Tuesday, Samsung unveiled the Galaxy S25 Edge, a slimmer version of its standard S25, which is described as an ‘engineering marvel’ – now its previous model is on sale.
The sleek S25 Edge, which measures at just 5.8mm thick, is available to pre-order from Samsung or Sky Mobile, but at an eye-watering £1,000+ price. Those looking for a more affordable option may want to look at the usual S25 as it’s cut by £200.
While all eyes are on the new model, Samsung has quietly been cutting the cost of the rest of its Galaxy S25 range. The retailer is now offering the Galaxy S25 128GB for £599, with the 256GB model costing £659.

This marks a rare occasion where both models are cheaper than Amazon and Argos’ prices and a new record low on the standard S25. There’s also £150 off the Galaxy S25 Ultra 256GB, which now comes in at £1,099 from Samsung, Argos and Amazon.
However, this is the same price as the new Galaxy S25 Edge, which is worth keeping in mind for those who like getting their hands on the latest model. As a brand-new model, the S25 Edge comes with a hefty price tag of £1,099 outright or £40 when spreading the cost.
However, Samsung and Sky are sweetening the deal by offering the 512GB model for the price of 256GB, while Sky is throwing in a free pair of Galaxy Buds3 Pro worth £219. The Daily Express’ Deputy Technology Editor Henry Burrell got his hands on the S25 Edge and hailed it as an ‘impressively slender piece of kit’.
On the 1.4mm size difference between the Edge and the standard S25, Henry said: “Millimetre differences don’t sound like much on paper, but they make a huge difference to how this phone feels to hold. The S25 Edge is impressively thin and certainly awoke my inner nerd.
“But what struck me more was just how light the S25 Edge is. It weighs 163g, just one gram more than the S25, and less than the 190g S25 Plus and 218g S25 Ultra. The iPhone 16 is 7.8mm thick and weighs 190g.
“The S25’s dimensions, combined with its weight, make it feel truly feather-light.”
However, Henry did point out some reservations, adding: “With a large QHD 6.7-inch display, very similar to the one on the S25 Plus, the S25 Edge is a little hard to hold in one hand. Though it’s amazing Samsung has crammed all the componentry into the shrunken body, one thing it can’t slim down is the cameras.
“The dual rear lenses poke out the top right corner of the phone, causing it to tip the device a little unless you’re holding on with two paws.”
