The Farm Upstate
Samsung (005930.KS) has been producing a ‘plus’ model of its flagship Galaxy S line on and off since 2011, substituting Galaxy Edge, Galaxy Lite, Galaxy Active and even the Galaxy FE in the years when the company did not release a Galaxy S+ version, yet since 2017 the Galaxy Plus model has appeared each year along with the standard Galaxy S and Galaxy Ultra models of its flagship line. Tomorrow, Samsung will announce the Galaxy Edge, a new and improved Edge that has the opportunity to replace the Galaxy S Plus going forward.
The Galaxy S Plus has been the underperformer of the three flagship models, and this year Samsung is looking to see if a new Galaxy Edge model might be a better value for consumers than the S Plus going forward. There are lots of Galaxy Edge features that have been leaked or speculated on, so we put together a comparison of the current Galaxy S25+ and the upcoming S25 Edge. We note that the Edge feature list could change upon its release. We note also that the concept behind the Edge is a thinner, lighter, sleeker’ phone with most of the features of the Plus, with less cameras but higher resolution ones.

According to suppliers, of the 37.7m Galaxy S25 series phones to be produced this year, the standard Galaxy S25 will represent 36.1%, the Ultra, 46.2% and the Plus only 17.89% based on expected demand, so the question will be whether the new Galaxy 25 Edge will be able to outsell the Plus. If the Edge catches on with consumers, we expect that the Galaxy Plus will join the Samsung Neos, the Samsung Minis, and the Samsung Actives, all of whom have been sent to that farm upstate where all of the disabled and sickly hamsters are happily living out their retirement days.
