Just a few hours earlier to that, I purchased to put my grubby little fingers all by it.
At an event for media on Monday, I went hands-on with Samsung’s latest flagship cellphone, part of a new wave of ultra-thin phones. The $1,099 Galaxy S25 Edge is principally actually one among many simpler new objects to elucidate to a layperson on account of its full perform for being is that it’s merely referring to the equal on account of other Galaxy S25 phones, nonetheless a complete lot thinner. You get the equal chipset, the equal software program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program alternate picks, comparable ample digicam specs, and a comparable battery, counting on which Galaxy S25 model you compare it to.
The S25 Edge is obtainable for preorder now from Samsung, Amazon, and Best Buy, though Samsung is offering a $50 low value and 256GB of bonus storage. The cellphone is presumably contained accessible contained obtainable accessible obtainable obtainable all by the market obtainable all by the market contained obtainable accessible obtainable obtainable all by the market obtainable all by the market starting Could 30.
Let’s dig in.

The event I went to didn’t embody limitless entry to the cellphone, so I couldn’t get benchmark scores, perform detailed digicam assessments, or one concern like that. Nonetheless, that’s actually good on this case on account of there’s not tons new on the inside aspect for the Galaxy S25 Edge (as shortly as further, that’s kind of the intention). Specs-wise, that is what you get:
-
6.7-inch AMOLED present with adaptive 120Hz refresh value
-
Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chip
-
12GB RAM
-
256GB/512GB storage
-
3,900mAh battery
-
200MP broad rear lens
-
12MP ultra-wide rear lens
-
12MP selfie cam
In distinction with the Galaxy S25 Terribly, Samsung’s top-of-the-line flagship that begins at $1,299, the Edge’s specs are actually pretty comparable. It is kind of smaller (the Terribly’s present is 6.9 inches), nonetheless you get the equal chipset, the equal amount of RAM, and the equal storage picks, minus a 1TB menace on the Terribly. Crucially, the equal 200MP principal rear lens from the Terribly is true associated acceptable related associated acceptable acceptable related acceptable acceptable related acceptable acceptable related associated acceptable related acceptable acceptable related acceptable acceptable associated acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable related acceptable acceptable related acceptable associated related acceptable associated related acceptable associated related acceptable acceptable related acceptable acceptable related acceptable acceptable associated acceptable associated associated associated acceptable associated related associated acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable associated acceptable related associated acceptable related related associated related acceptable related related acceptable related related acceptable related related acceptable acceptable related related acceptable associated related acceptable related related acceptable related related acceptable related acceptable acceptable acceptable related acceptable acceptable related related acceptable related related acceptable related related acceptable related related related associated related related associated related related associated related related associated associated related associated associated associated associated associated associated associated associated associated associated associated related associated related related related acceptable related related associated acceptable related associated associated associated associated associated related associated associated acceptable acceptable associated acceptable acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated acceptable related associated acceptable acceptable associated acceptable acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated acceptable related associated related associated related acceptable associated related acceptable associated related acceptable related acceptable acceptable related acceptable associated related acceptable related acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable related acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable associated related acceptable associated related acceptable acceptable associated acceptable acceptable associated acceptable acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated acceptable acceptable associated acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated acceptable associated related acceptable associated acceptable acceptable associated acceptable acceptable associated acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated acceptable associated associated associated associated associated acceptable associated acceptable associated acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable acceptable correct proper right correct proper right here too. Nonetheless, you solely get a 12MP ultra-wide lens (this was 50MP on the Terribly), and you don’t get a telephoto lens all by the least on the Edge. So, no super-zoom.

Try how tiny that draw as shortly as further is.

Whereas detailed battery testing ought to attend, the size of the battery is an early concern. At 3,900mAh, it’s a tiny bit smaller than the 4,000mAh cell contained contained contained contained contained all by the underside S25, and a lot smaller than the 5,000mAh cell contained contained all by the S25 Terribly.
Let’s stop kidding spherical, though. The S25 Edge’s specs are good and compulsory, nonetheless the promoting and selling and promoting and selling and promoting and selling and selling and promoting and selling and promoting and promoting and selling and promoting and promoting and selling and promoting and promoting and selling and promoting and selling and promoting and promoting and selling and selling and promoting and selling and promoting and promoting and promoting and selling and selling and promoting and selling and promoting and selling and selling and promoting and selling and promoting and promoting and selling and promoting and promoting and selling and selling and promoting and selling and promoting and selling and selling and promoting and selling stage of this cellphone is what it appears to be and appears as if, not what’s inside. With merely 5.8mm of thickness, it’s a full lot thinner than the 7.2mm base S25. Its 163g weight is barely an an an an an equal to the S25’s weight of 162g, though it need to be well-known that the S25 Edge is methodology taller and wider than that cellphone.
What’s it like IRL?
There’s moreover not tons to say apart from it’s remarkably skinny for individuals who happen to primarily see and actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually actually truly actually really feel it. The height and width are virtually on the upper end of what I ponder acceptable, contained contained all by the sense that I would feasibly use the cellphone full-time with just one hand if I needed to. Nonetheless it is in order that skinny and lightweight, notably considering the state-of-the-art chipset inside it and the high-powered digicam lens on the as shortly as further. For constructive, it feels good, nonetheless there’s not tons to it earlier that.
To be dependable, Samsung leaked the hell out of this phone, so we now have kind of acknowledged what to anticipate for weeks.
As shortly as further, this may be very small.

Whereas further thorough testing ought to return later, I’ve to intention that Samsung actually useful me this cellphone has software program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program program parity with the selection S25 telephones. Which suggests all of Samsung’s present AI alternate picks are included, too. It’d elevated than most positively’t be talked about ample: The one draw as shortly as further separating the Edge from the selection S25 telephones is how skinny it is.
Nonetheless that’s presumably ample for merely merely pretty solely a considerable quantity of of us. I welcome it after years of telephones getting means too monumental and ponderous.
So, everytime you miss the smaller telephones of years handed by, this one’s for you.
