Samsung has truly outdone itself with the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge, the brand’s thinnest flagship smartphone yet. This sleek device measures just 5.8mm in thickness and weighs a mere 163 grams, making it feel almost as light as paper in your hand. Despite its slim profile, Samsung hasn’t skimped on the specifications, although some trade-offs have been made to achieve this design marvel. Let’s dive into the details.
To maintain its ultra-thin design, Samsung opted for a smaller battery and reduced the number of rear cameras in the Galaxy S25 Edge. The phone boasts a stunning 6.7-inch display featuring Samsung’s Dynamic AMOLED 2X technology with a crisp QHD+ resolution. The variable refresh rate of 1-120Hz ensures smooth visuals, protected by Corning’s Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.
Under the hood, the Galaxy S25 Edge is powered by Qualcomm’s 8-core Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, paired with 12GB of RAM. Storage options include 256GB and 512GB, although there’s no support for microSD expansion, a common trend in modern smartphones.
Charge-wise, the Edge uses a modest 3,900mAh battery with 25W wired charging, capable of reaching 55% charge in just half an hour. It also supports Qi wireless charging, catering to various user preferences.
On the camera front, the Galaxy S25 Edge features two rear cameras instead of the usual three found in other S25 models. The main camera sports an impressive 200MP sensor with an F/1.7 aperture and Optical Image Stabilization. It promises 2x optical quality zoom shots, though real-world performance will be the true test. Accompanying it is a 12MP ultra-wide-angle lens, while selfies are handled by a 12MP front camera.
This device doesn’t just impress with its design and features; it also offers durability with IP68 dust and water resistance. Running on Android 15 with Samsung’s One UI 7, it ensures a seamless and intuitive user experience. Available in striking Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue colors, the Galaxy S25 Edge starts at a price of $1,099, with sales beginning on May 30.
In creating the Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung has set a new standard for slim, powerful smartphones, appealing to those who prioritize both style and substance.
