hello. This is Technologytodaynow. There has been a lot of interest in the Galaxy S25 Edge recently. There has also been recent news about its price, so let’s take a closer look.
Galaxy S25 Edge Price Forecast
Galaxy S25 Edge Expected Release Date
The Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be released online on April 16. At the time of the launch of the Galaxy Fold 2 in 2020, a short 20-minute unpack event was held online, but there is a possibility that a short online one-pack event will be held again this time. Customers’ reactions are expected to determine whether the Galaxy S25 Edge will be an ambiguous model or a portability-focused model. If launched in the long run, there is a possibility that the Edge model will replace the Plus model.
Galaxy S25 Edge Estimated Price
For now, it is expected to be more expensive than the Plus model, but according to the Financial Times, the Galaxy S25 Edge will be priced at W1.5 million (US$1,030) for the 256GB model and W1.63 million (US$1,119) for the 512GB model. This is about W150,000 (US$103) more expensive for the 256GB model and W130,000 (US$89) for the 512GB model compared to the Galaxy S25 Plus. However, it is cheaper than the S25 Ultra model. The pricing was based on the model name. The Plus model is SM-S936, the Ultra model is SM-S938, and the Edge model is SM-S937, with numbers between the Plus and the Ultra, with prices also located in between.
Pricing Background and Challenges
Regarding the price of the Galaxy S25 Edge, there are conflicting opinions that it is “too expensive” and “reasonable.” Consumers who feel that it is expensive seem to feel that it is expensive because it has fewer camera lenses than the base model, and the battery capacity is similar to the base model, ranging from 3,900mAh to 4,000mAh, while the size of the display is large and the battery life is expected to be short.
The opinions on the price of the Galaxy S25 Edge are divided, with some saying “it’s too expensive” and others believing “it’s worth it.” Consumers who find it expensive point out that it has fewer camera lenses than the base model and a battery capacity similar to the base model at 4,000mAh, compared to 3,900mAh. They expect that the larger display size will lead to shorter battery life, which contributes to their perception of it being overpriced.
Personally, I think the price of 1.5 million won is excessive, but the key will be how well the performance compares to the portability.
