📱 What Makes the S25 Edge Special?
-
Ultra-thin and ultra-light – At just 5.8 mm thick and weighing only 163 g, this is Samsung’s thinnest phone ever, constructed with a sleek titanium frame.
-
High-end hardware inside – It features a 6.7″ WQHD LTPO AMOLED display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, 12 GB RAM, and storage options up to 512 GB. It also supports Wi‑Fi 7, UWB, Dolby Atmos stereo speakers, and promises seven years of OS updates (en.wikipedia.org).
-
Impressive camera set – A 200 MP main shooter pairs with a 12 MP ultrawide cam, and it can record up to 8K video at 30 fps (en.wikipedia.org).
Why It's Not Flying Off the Shelves
-
Battery compromises
Its slim design forces use of a 3,900 mAh battery—significantly smaller than the 4,900 mAh in the S25+ and 5,000 mAh in the S25 Ultra (en.wikipedia.org). For many power users, this isn’t enough to last a full day. -
No telephoto lens
To keep its slim profile, Samsung omitted a dedicated zoom camera—making it less appealing for users who enjoy versatile photography. -
Flagship price tag
With an MSRP around USD 1,099, it’s priced close to the S25+, which offers better battery life and more features—making the Edge a harder pitch. Reviewers report it's "niche" and "too expensive for what it delivers."
Who Might Still Love It?
-
Minimalist design lovers – This might be the phone you want if you prioritize light, ultra-thin design and use your phone lightly.
-
Brand-conscious buyers – If you value Samsung’s build quality and long-term software support, this phone has appeal.
-
Style-first users – Want a premium, eye-catching device without bulk? The S25 Edge is designed exactly for that crowd.
Final Thoughts
The Galaxy S25 Edge is a bold statement—an ultra-thin, sleek flagship that stands out for its design. But in doing so, it sacrifices battery capacity, telephoto camera, and value compared to its siblings. It’s unlikely to persuade most mainstream buyers, but for those chasing style, compactness, and long-term updates, it could be worth it. Ultimately, it’s a niche device with a niche audience.
