Galaxy S25 Edge sales disappoint, Samsung reduces production

Samsung recently launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, a super-thin smartphone meant to excite buyers with its sleek design. However, the phone isn’t selling as well as the company hoped, leading Samsung to cut back on production, according to a report from The Elec. Despite attractive pre-order deals, customers seem hesitant to purchase the device.

The Galaxy S25 Edge, at just 5.8mm thick, boasts powerful features and a lightweight build. But its small 3,900mAh battery and lack of a telephoto camera may be turning people away. These compromises, along with a high starting price of $1,100, could explain the low demand.

Reviews have been mixed, with some praising the phone’s look but criticizing its battery life. While the S25 Edge struggles, other models in the Galaxy S25 series, like the S25 Ultra, Base, and Pro, are performing well. Samsung is now shifting focus to its foldable phones, planning to produce more Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7 units for the U.S. market.

The company aims to make about 600,000 foldable phones in June, up from an earlier target of 400,000. The poor sales might affect Samsung’s plans for the Galaxy S26 series. There were talks of replacing the S26 Plus with an S26 Edge, but if the S25 Edge continues to underperform, Samsung may stick with the Plus model instead. For now, the company hopes better deals or time will boost interest in the S25 Edge.
