Sluggish Galaxy S25 Edge sales make Samsung cut back production

News from Korea has reconfirmed our fears regarding sluggish Galaxy S25 Edge sales. Not only does it reaffirm our report from a couple of weeks ago, when we revealed that the Galaxy S25 Edge underperformed in Samsung's eyes, but it also says that Samsung is readjusting its manufacturing plans.

Because the Galaxy S25 Edge underperformed, Samsung has reportedly lowered the number of Edge units it initially planned to produce this month. “Considerably lowered,” to be more precise, although no exact production figures were revealed.

Samsung reportedly took action because of how quickly the Galaxy S25 Edge nosedived in terms of sales. New phones usually have a window of about three months to solidify sales, but the Galaxy S25 Edge started showing clear signs of low sales much earlier than that.

The report also states that the unexpected underperformance of the ultra-thin titanium phone may have interfered with other long-term Samsung plans.

Supposedly, Samsung was considering replacing the Galaxy S Plus model with the Galaxy Edge. The S Plus doesn't sell as well as the base and Ultra models, and Samsung believed that the Edge could be a good replacement.

As it turns out, the Galaxy S25 Edge may have performed far worse than the Galaxy S25+, which means Samsung's idea of a replacement flew out the window.

Whether Samsung will release a Galaxy S25 Edge sequel next year remains to be seen, but the chances of a Galaxy S26 Edge pushing the Galaxy S26+ off the market are now slim to none.

As to why the Galaxy S25 Edge underperformed, there is no official explanation, but some believe it's because most people weren't willing to sacrifice battery capacity for an ultra-thin design, even if the phone is gorgeous and employs exotic materials such as titanium.

On the brighter side, all these events could lead to enticing Galaxy S25 Edge discounts and offers, but time will tell.
