Samsung is discontinuing its ultra-slim Galaxy S25 Edge line just five months after its launch due to dismal sales, particularly in markets like Kenya where practical features like battery life are prioritized over thinness.

• The Galaxy S25 Edge sold only 190,000 units in its first month, vastly underperforming compared to the 2.55 million units of the S25 Ultra.
• The decision means the planned S26 Edge has been scrapped, with Samsung reverting to the classic S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra lineup.
• In Kenya, where the S25 Edge retails for around KES 107,000 despite offering a smaller 3,900mAh battery and fewer features than the cheaper KES 85,000 standard S25, the market’s rejection of the "ultra-slim" trend was evident.
