Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge was officially unveiled this week and we also know how much it will cost in the Indian market. The biggest highlight of the Galaxy S25 Edge is the sleek design which Samsung has managed to achieve with some notable changes to the hardware under the hood. 

Earlier reports suggested that Samsung will also have to ditch the physical SIM slot on the Galaxy S25 Edge to accommodate its sleek dimensions. So, is that true, has the company been forced to remove the slot and make it eSIM-only compatible, its first such device in the market? Here’s what we can tell you about the phone and other details. 

No SIM Slot? Not Really 

The Galaxy S25 Edge features a 5.8mm frame made of titanium because of which it weighs around 163 grams even for a 6.7-inch form factor. Many rumours said the new Edge phone from Samsung will support eSIM only but the official launch has confirmed the reality.

The Galaxy S25 Edge does come with a physical SIM slot and it also supports eSIM for the second number. 

Is it surprising to see this sleek phone support the regular SIM tray, not really, because even though the size is thin, it is still not sleek enough to warrant removing the SIM slot, and we are glad Samsung has managed to retain the important feature, especially to sell in countries like India, China and even in South Korea. 

Apple has shown the way with its eSIM only iPhone in the last few years, albeit confined to select regions, but removing the SIM slot becomes a viable option if brands eventually decide to go port less and without any physical buttons, which Apple could have in plans in the near future. 

Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge price in India starts at Rs 1,09,999 for the 256GB base variant, which puts it between the Galaxy S25+ and the Galaxy S25 Ultra in the lineup for the company. It comes with a 200MP primary sensor in a dual camera system, a smaller 3,900mAh battery with support for 25W charging speed.
