Overview

  • The Galaxy S25 Edge, now available globally, is Samsung's thinnest and lightest 6.7-inch smartphone at 5.8 mm thick and 187 grams.
  • Critics praise its vibrant display, powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and sharp camera output but highlight significant compromises.
  • The phone's 3,900-mAh battery delivers subpar performance, often requiring mid-day charging, which reviewers find unacceptable for its $1,100 price.
  • Key omissions include a telephoto zoom lens, slower charging speeds, and no S Pen stylus, which limit its appeal compared to other flagship models.
  • Samsung positions the device as a lighter alternative to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, but reviewers suggest exploring alternatives like folding flip phones or the Galaxy S25 Ultra for better value.
