Samsung confirms a great upgraded durability for Galaxy S25 Edge – and that is above all good news

Darling, wake up. The last Edge Samsung Galaxy S25 The news has just fallen, and this is a big problem for those who have slippery hands. Before the Virtual Samsung event unpacked on Monday, the Korean giant shared that the Galaxy S25 EDGE would make its debut with the new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.

Samsung said in a Thursday press release that the new glass display material “presents crystals in a complex way integrated into its glass matrix, improving the sustainability and deviation capacities of the cracking of the display cover.” Given the end of the Galaxy S25 Edge should be, a stronger and more resilient screen cover is definitely justified.

While Samsung does not share much else about the way more briss a month ago.

For reference, Corning has tested the original Gorilla Glass ceramic to survive 10 repeated drops by one meter on surfaces reproducing asphalt. If the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 is better, then the Galaxy S25 Edge should Being able to resist the fall in the casual size, slip from the table or tumble a little better than the previous phones of Samsung Galaxy.

I always have my concerns about a more resistant screen, its most notable compromise being how the phone is subject to the phone. My ultra galaxy S25, which I have been using for about five months now, can attest to this theory.

It would also go very far if Samsung applies a similar anti -reflective coating (otherwise the same) as the Galaxy S25 Ultra on the Galaxy S25 edge. The reduction of reflections and reflections of light makes a significant difference in the user experience, especially outside.

What has been confirmed so far

Before Monday unpacked event, Samsung also confirmed a few things about the Galaxy S25 Edge. Although its dual camera system does not suggest it, the next handset East strongly focused on photography. “Even with its thin form, the wide goal of 200 MP of Galaxy S25 Edge continues the experience of the iconic Galaxy camera,” said Samsung in a press release on Wednesday.

Whether the second lens of the camera on the new model is a telephoto lens, an ultra-reality or a simple macro sensor remains unanswered.

As for the rest of the telephone equipment, Samsung has confirmed that the Galaxy S25 EDGE will be “portable and light without sacrificing power and innovation”. Hoping that “power” refers to the battery life, which remains a drawback as phones become thinner, and the laws of physics simply do not allow that there are larger lithium-ion batteries to adapt to form factors.

For reference, the next Air iPhone 17 should have a smaller than usual battery and potentially requires a dedicated battery case to keep it on the march for a full day. If the future of thin phones lives in thicker and plastic protective blankets, then I don't know exactly if we get things done with these innovations.

When can Samsung's unpack the event?

Samsung will host its virtual event unpacked for the Galaxy S25 Edge on Monday May 12 at 8 p.m. he. Hope Samsung hope that we will resume the live flow after dinner? Maybe.

But a more reasonable explanation is that he targets the demography he knows will most likely adopt the lighter and thinner form factor of the S25 Edge: Koreans, who will connect to a more friendly Tuesday morning program.

Unlike most unpacked events, which have several new Galaxy products, expect it to be virtual on the shorter side. If we are lucky, we will hear about the rest of the Samsung hardware roadmap in 2025. But with the annual event unpacked from the company's summer a few months, I would not be surprised if they hold their cards near the chest. After all, teasing a three phone and an XR helmet would potentially steal the thunder from the ultra-alluum galaxy phone.

And if there is one thing that Samsung or Apple do not want to do, it is lost any interest in their ultra-thin telephone aspirations before even hitting the market. After all, the two companies (and the others that follow suit) will have to deliver handsets that go beyond expectations and convince the masses that the future of the mobile is perhaps a little easier in the pockets, even if it is at the expense of endurance and the number of cameras available.

At the moment, those who are interested in the Galaxy S25 Edge can Reserve a pre -order to receive a Samsung credit of $ 50. You don't have to commit yourself to buying the phone after booking, but if you do, you will save $ 50.
