Galaxy S25 Edge will be sold in Vietnam on May 27 with two versions priced at 30 and 33.5 million VND, respectively. The main difference lies in the internal memory capacity. The device line appeared during the low market period, expected to help Samsung revive flagship sales.

However, after only one month, the device has been deeply discounted by the dealer. Specifically, the version with 12 GB RAM, 256 GB internal memory is reduced by 2.3 million VND, down to 27.7 million VND. Meanwhile, the 512 GB Galaxy S25 Edge has an even deeper margin. Users can now own the device for 28.2 million VND, a reduction of 5.3 million VND, equivalent to 15% of the listed value of the device.

The company’s price adjustment also gives customers who want to buy the device an opportunity to easily own it. However, this strategy affects early buyers. In less than 30 days from receiving the device, their phone has lost dozens of percent of its value. If this group wants to resell it, they will suffer losses in the secondary market.

This strategy also affects the manufacturer’s recognition and sales in the long run. The stereotype of “depreciation quickly” makes users lose trust in the manufacturer. Instead of paying for the first purchase to own it early, they tend to wait for a discount.

The Galaxy S25 Edge was first introduced at the beginning of the year, along with other products in the S25 series. However, the company only displayed a test version at the event, without revealing the product's specifications. It was not until early May that the Korean brand officially launched the product.

The Galaxy S25 Edge impresses with its impressive thinness and light weight. The device goes against the trend of thicker and heavier flagships recently. In return, the battery capacity of the product stops at 3,900 mAh, significantly lower than phones with the same screen size. Samsung also cut the camera of this model, only the main sensor and the ultra-wide lens, no longer the telephoto camera.

However, in tests, Samsung's products surprised with a battery life that is not inferior to devices with 4,000-4,500 mAh batteries.

The finishing quality of the device is also highly appreciated with meticulously assembled metal and glass details that are sturdy and do not break during durability tests.

However, the high listed price may be a big reason why it has not been well received. The S25 Edge is currently priced lower than Samsung's foldable phones. Meanwhile, domestic dealers have discounted the S25 Ultra to VND25-27 million. In addition to being cheaper, this line also has a larger screen, super zoom camera and more advanced functions.
