The Super-Thin Galaxy S25 Edge Has Arrived

Samsung has officially revealed its super-thin flagship telephone for 2025: the Galaxy S25 Edge. It’s disposable to bid starting today, but arsenic you mightiness expect, Samsung had to marque a fewer compromises to execute the super-slim design.

Following a teaser astatine the Galaxy Unpacked event successful January, and another announcement past week, the Galaxy S25 is yet a existent telephone you tin buy. The hardware and wide plan are adjacent to the different Galaxy S25 phones, with the aforesaid Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy chipset, Android 15 operating strategy with One UI 7, and IP68 water/dust resistance. The telephone volition beryllium sold successful 256GB and 512GB capacities, some with 12GB RAM.

The show is simply a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen, with a adaptable refresh complaint up to 120Hz and adaptive colour tone. That’s the aforesaid size arsenic the surface connected the Galaxy S25+. Thankfully, Samsung didn’t instrumentality retired the USB Type-C larboard to marque the telephone thinner—maybe Apple volition effort that with the rumored iPhone 17 Air—but there’s inactive nary headphone jack.

Super Thin, astatine What Cost?

The main selling constituent present is the thinner design, which measures conscionable 5.8 millimeters (0.228 inches) successful depth. For comparison, the regular Galaxy S25 is 7.2 mm, and the Galaxy S25 Ultra is 8.2 mm. In Apple’s telephone lineup, the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Plus are 7.8 mm, portion the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max are 8.25 mm. The telephone is surely thinner than astir of the competition, but not to an absurd extent.

Samsung made immoderate structural changes to the telephone to propulsion this off, including a caller benignant of Corning glass. The institution said successful its announcement, “The optimally curved edges of the sturdy titanium framework connection enduring extortion for mundane use. The latest Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, a caller solid ceramic offering that delivers engineered resilience, is utilized for the beforehand show to output some vibrancy and spot connected Galaxy S25 Edge.”

Galaxy S25 Edge Specifications

Unfortunately, Samsung can’t crook the laws of physics. Even though it’s astir the aforesaid width and tallness arsenic the Galaxy S25+ and its 4,900mAh battery, the Galaxy S25 Edge has a 3,900mAh artillery cell. The cameras besides look to instrumentality retired further from the telephone than the S25 and S25+ cameras, but Samsung didn’t supply nonstop measurements.

The camera setup present is simply a spot weird. This telephone has a 12MP main camera and 12MP beforehand camera, conscionable similar the regular Galaxy S25 and S25+ phones. However, alternatively of the 10MP telephoto oregon 50MP wide-angle cameras connected those models, it has a 200MP wide-angle camera with 2x optical zoom and 10x integer zoom. That’s akin to the 200MP lens connected the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but that telephone tin bash 3x and 5x optical zoom oregon up to 100x zoom.

Pricing and Availability

The Galaxy S25 Edge is now disposable to purchase, starting astatine $1,100 for the 256GB retention option, and the 512GB retention enactment volition outgo you $1,220. Samsung is selling the telephone successful 3 colors: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and Titanium Icyblue. If you bargain it from Samsung’s online store earlier the pre-order play ends connected May 30, you tin upgrade to the 512GB exemplary astatine nary other charge. Samsung volition besides propulsion successful a $50 recognition to usage for different items successful the aforesaid order.

Personally, I would instrumentality longer artillery beingness implicit a thinner design, and the different Galaxy S25 phones look to person a much versatile camera setup. There’s besides the Galaxy S24 FE to consider, which is simply a downgrade successful cameras and chipset, but is often connected merchantability for half the price of the S25 Edge.
