"Samsung took the hard road when it launched the ultra-thin and lightweight back in May. The phone had a mere 3,900mAh battery (not enough to be considered "diabolical," as the teens would say, but barely able to last a full day), lacked a dedicated telephoto lens, and demanded a $1,100 price tag. Unless wrist strain was your biggest issue with using smartphones, the S25 Edge just felt out of place."
"The Galaxy S25 Edge is the most powerful lightweight handset on the market right now, and is positioned to contend with Apple's rumored iPhone 17 Slim next week. As I mentioned in my month-long review, the phone "operates with grace. I can't pinpoint one thing for the solid performance, so I'll credit the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the smoother animations of One UI 7, and the 12GB of RAM, which is sufficient for hybrid AI tasks, mobile gaming, and loading various social media feeds.""
"Of course, the big draw with the Galaxy S25 Edge is its ultraportability. Samsung fits a 6.8-inch AMOLED display with a 200MP-led camera system into a body that's just 5.8mm thick and 163 grams. For reference, the iPhone 16 Pro (not the Pro Max) weighs 199 grams. From the burdenless pocketing experience to the surprisingly less painful drops on the face when doomscrolling in bed, the Galaxy S25 Edge left me with a positive outlook on slimified phones."
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launched as an ultra-thin 6.8-inch phone with a 3,900mAh battery, no dedicated telephoto lens, and a $1,100 price. Retailer discounts have reduced the effective price, improving its value proposition and making it recommendable beyond enthusiasts. The handset pairs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, smoother One UI 7 animations, and 12GB of RAM to handle hybrid AI tasks, mobile gaming, and social feeds. Samsung fits a 200MP-led main camera into a 5.8mm-thick, 163-gram body, delivering images and video comparable to the pricier S25 Ultra. Ultraportability improves pocketing and handling in daily use.
