Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge on: This gentle phone left a deep impression

I have used a lot of different phones in several factors: Great, small phones, phones that folded in ways that look very fragile at work. But while I carry Samsung high and light-but it is amazingly strong- Galaxy S25 Edge, the first word that comes to mind It is “air”. My next idea is: If you are S25 Plus, I will be worried.

In the early teaching period with the S25 Edge at a preview event in New York, I am surprised by the amount of the new phone he carried from his S25 counterparts. Maintains a wide 200 -megapixel camera from S25 Ultra6.7 inch screen from S25 plus and Snapdragon 8 Elite You will find the processor across the other three S25 devices. But he does this within an elegant titanium frame, 5.8 mm, recorded in 163 grams. It seems like something I can throw in my bag or pocket and hardly notice.

In fact, the S25 Edge provokes me exactly what the flagship phone should be in the middle of the line: it takes a basic and high model style, which pulls outstanding features to justify its price of $ 1100. The exciting design, the wide camera at the super -level and the spacious width makes this an attractive choice for anyone who wants something a little of the ordinary.

But this does not mean that there are no compromises in the store, most notably the battery; More on that later.

Prerations for the Galaxy S25 Edge Open nowThe phone will arrive on May 30. It comes in three colors: silver, black planes and ice blue.

What makes the edge of the S25 stand out

The biggest question that led to the S25 Edge version was: Why does someone want a thinner phone anyway? After spending time with the device, I started seeing the call.

Although the S25 Edge thickness may not be amazing visually at first glance, getting your hands on the phone is a different story. Comparing how the S25 Edge 5.8M and 163g frames with S25 and S25 Plus, you have registered the thinner and lighter range. To return to it, the basic S25 thickness is 7.2 mm and weighs 162 grams, but it has a 6.2 -inch screen. S25 Plus has a 6.7 -inch screen as the edge, but it has an area of ​​7.3 mm and weighs 190 g. It is a noticeable difference.

The moment of truth was the application of some strength on the phone to see if it had been given at all. Likely, I felt very strong. (If not, it is possible that I have faced some problems with Samsung.) It tells the Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 screen, along with the support of Gorilla Glass Victus 2. To test it in my evaluation. The S25 edge also maintains the same IP68 to resist dust and water that you will find on other S25 phones.

It seems that the largest comparison, at least on paper, is the battery capacity. The 3900 mAh Galaxy S25 EDGE battery diminishes an area of ​​3900 mAh compared to what you will get on the S25 foundation (4000 mAh) and S25 Plus (4900 mAh per hour). Samsung does not share the number of hours from which you will come out of the S25 Edge battery, other than saying that it will continue throughout the day. This is another thing I look forward to the test. The S25 Edge supports 25W wireless charging and 15W wireless charging.

With insomnia phones, camera devices can also be limited. But the edge of the S25 is proud of three cameras: a 200 -megapixel width, and a 12 -megapixel selfie camera. Megapixels is not everything, so I am keen to see how this translates all this into photography in the real world. Samsung refers to Galaxy AI to help enhance camera quality and to provide photo editing features such as obstetric editing.

Like S25 Plus, S25 Edge contains 12 GB of RAM, 256 GB, 512 GB storage options. It will cost a little more than the S25 Plus, although: 1100 dollars for 256 GB and 1220 dollars for 512 GB. But its price is still less than the highest level of the line of $ 1,300 S25 Ultra.

You will find the same thing Galaxy Ai The features promoted by Samsung on the rest of the S25 phones, such as Sketch to the photographer and voice eraser. Gemini features on board, such as Gemini lives and Search circle.

On the edge of the new direction

The Galaxy S25 Edge launch comes in a thin phone phenomenon. Earlier this year, Oppo released a thin Find N5 Foldable, which it calls “thinner in the world similar to folding books”, measuring 8.93 mm only when closed and a thickness of 4.21 mm when they are opened. It is also rumored that Apple is developing the “air” insomnia version of iPhone 17. and MWC 2025Show the phone maker tecno off Spark Selim The concept of the phone, which is 5.75 mm thick and weighs only 146 grams, according to the company.

Depending on how consumers respond, the S25 Edge can be the phone to help start the mad phone madness. If people do not have to give up much when it comes to the camera, storage and battery – three of The largest considerations When purchasing a phone, according to CNET – it can tend to push a new shape factor. After all, the phones are rather the phones Dill and predictableAside from a handful of Foldable Options. The S25 edge can be a breath of fresh air.

I look forward to seeing how the S25 EDGE escalates in the real world and whether it can really keep its edge (I had to do that).
