The Evolution of Samsung's Edge Series
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is the latest addition to Samsung's Edge series, which has come a long way since the debut of the OG Samsung Galaxy Note Edge back in 2014. The Edge series has always pushed the boundaries of smartphone design with its unique curved screen and innovative features.
A Brief History Lesson: The Samsung Galaxy Note Edge
The original Samsung Galaxy Note Edge was unveiled at a Samsung Unpacked event in September 2014, introducing the concept of a curved edge screen on a smartphone. It was a groundbreaking device that set the stage for the Edge series to come.
Why Didn’t People Like the Edge Screens?
Despite its innovative design, the Edge screens on Samsung phones have faced criticism for their lack of practicality and usefulness. The Galaxy S25 Edge aims to address these concerns and redefine what the Edge series stands for.
In an Alternate Universe, Edge Still Means “One Side of the Phone is a Second Screen”
With the Galaxy S25 Edge branding, there was speculation about a separate curved screen variant that would further develop the side widgets and interactions introduced by the Galaxy Note Edge. However, the reality turned out to be a sleek and thin phone with a different focus.
