It looks like retailers finally got the message that while the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge was a compelling device, customers felt less than convinced that it was worth its $1,100 asking price.Those of you who were on the fence can climb down off it now. Several retailers, including Amazon and Samsung, have knocked a full $250 off the price, bringing the cost of entry down to $850.(opens in a new window)SamsungGalaxy S25 Edge(opens in a new window)$850.00 at AmazonBuy Now(opens in a new window)$850.00 at SamsungBuy Now(opens in a new window)a thick discount on a thin phoneThe Galaxy S25 Edge measures just 5.8mm thick., compared to the standard Galaxy S25 and Galaxy S25+ that measure 7.2mm and 7.3mm, respectively.And because it’s harder to pack all the usual smartphone bits into a tighter package, extraordinary thinness costs a premium. The Galaxy S25 Edge retails at $1,100, compared to the Galaxy S25’s $800 and Galaxy S25+’s $1,000.That premium makes the Edge a tough recommendation over the higher-spec Galaxy S25+. On the one hand, you’ve survived this long with a bulkier smartphone; you could survive a little while longer if it meant saving hundreds, right?On the other hand, Samsung worked magic making the Edge that much thinner, and while just 1.4mm or 1.5mm may seem like a small difference, on a phone it’s noticeable. Few people are out there clamoring for thicker phones, so that slimness would be nice, yeah?With the $250-off deal on the Edge, you can hit pause on the mental arithmetic and all the exhausting rationalization you’d have to do to justify the Edge’s four-figure price tag.If you’re looking to take advantage of this deal on the Samsung store (and if you’re not going to trade in a device), make sure you scroll down below the product photo and, under “Samsung Trade-in,” select “No.”Only then will the price update and show you the $850 deal price. I almost overlooked it myself when I first cruised through the page, so don’t overlook it.(opens in a new window)SamsungGalaxy S25 Edge(opens in a new window)$850.00 at AmazonBuy Now(opens in a new window)$850.00 at SamsungBuy Now(opens in a new window)The post Samsung’s New Galaxy S25 Edge Gets a Major Discount appeared first on VICE.
