In a market saturated with bulky flagships, Samsung has taken a bold step toward design minimalism with its newly launched Galaxy S25 Edge. This ultra-slim powerhouse is the brand’s thinnest and lightest premium device in recent years—measuring just 5.8mm thick and weighing 163 grams—yet it retains top-tier performance and features.
Design & Build: Slim, Sleek, and Striking
Samsung clearly prioritized portability and design with the S25 Edge. Its titanium frame, Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 front, and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 back provide durability without compromising on elegance. Despite housing a 6.7-inch display, the phone feels incredibly light in hand—closer to a compact phone in weight, but with a truly immersive screen.
The phone is IP68-rated for water and dust resistance, and it introduces a futuristic edge to Samsung’s flagship line that could redefine the market’s expectations around form factor.
Display: Flagship-Grade Visuals
The 6.7-inch LTPO AMOLED 2X panel is a highlight—offering 1440×3120 resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and HDR10+ support. It’s sharp, vivid, and smooth—exactly what you’d expect from Samsung’s best display tech.
Performance: Snapdragon 8 Elite Delivers
Powering the device is the Snapdragon 8 Elite, a 3nm chipset specifically tuned for Samsung with higher-clocked CPU and GPU. Paired with 12GB RAM and storage options of 256GB or 512GB, the phone handles everything from multitasking to gaming effortlessly. It runs on Android 15 with One UI 7, offering a clean and fluid user experience.
Camera System: Ultra-Resolution Without the Bulk
- Despite the slim build, the camera hardware impresses:
- 200MP main sensor (borrowed from the S25 Ultra) offers stunning detail and low-light performance.
- 12MP ultrawide with autofocus adds versatility for landscape and group shots.
- No telephoto lens, which might disappoint some, but it’s an understandable omission in such a thin device.
- Front Camera: 12MP shooter with Dual Pixel autofocus, capable of 4K video at 60fps.
Battery Life & Charging: Good, Not Great
The 3900mAh battery is a trade-off for the device’s slim profile. It supports 25W wired charging (55% in 30 minutes), along with 15W wireless charging (Qi2 ready). It’s adequate for most users but won’t break endurance records.
Connectivity & Extras
- 5G, Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, eSIM, and NFC supported
- In-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor
- Stereo speakers and Samsung DeX
- Ultra-Wideband (UWB) for next-gen connectivity features
Box Contents: Minimalist Packaging
As expected, Samsung follows its eco-friendly trend with a minimalist box: just the USB-C to USB-C cable and documentation. No charging brick is included, so you’ll need to buy one separately to make full use of 25W fast charging.
Final Verdict: Design Wins, But At a Cost
The Galaxy S25 Edge is for users who value style, portability, and performance over having every feature crammed in. It’s not for power users needing the biggest battery or most cameras—but it is for those who want flagship specs in a gorgeous, featherweight package.
- Rating: 4.2 / 5
