Samsung Begins Manufacturing Its Slimmest Smartphone 'Galaxy S25 Edge' in India

New Delhi, May 22: Samsung has started manufacturing its slimmest smartphone yet, the ‘Galaxy S25 Edge,’ in India. The South Korean tech giant confirmed the development on Thursday, just days after launching the device in global markets, including India, on May 13.

Targeted at users who prefer a sleek and lightweight device without compromising on performance, the Galaxy S25 Edge is built on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite mobile platform and comes loaded with all the advanced Galaxy AI features. The company stated that the smartphone is being produced at its Noida facility, which has been central to Samsung’s manufacturing operations in India.

The Galaxy S25 Edge is priced between Rs 1.09 lakh and Rs 1.22 lakh, depending on the configuration. As per agency report, the model is part of Samsung’s broader effort to strengthen its position in the premium smartphone segment in India.

According to Counterpoint Research, Apple and Samsung together accounted for 94 percent of all smartphones manufactured in India in 2024. Samsung alone captured a 17 percent market share in the Indian smartphone sector during the January–March quarter of 2025, supported largely by the success of its flagship S-series devices.

The S25 Ultra series in particular has contributed significantly to Samsung’s dominance in the premium category. The local production of the Galaxy S25 Edge further underscores the company’s commitment to its ‘Make in India’ initiative and its focus on delivering high-end innovation to Indian consumers.
