Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

The Galaxy S25 Edge is Samsung's thin flagship, standing out at 5.8 mm and 163 g. It has a 6.7-inch QHD+ 120 Hz screen, the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, a 200 MP main camera and a titanium frame, but no telephoto. To stay thin, the battery drops to 3,900 mAh and wired charging to 25 W. Tests find its battery the shortest in the S25 range; owners love its light weight and screen.

    Tom's Guide: Galaxy S25 Edge battery life tested
  • GSMArena counts the 5.8 mm thickness and 163 g weight for a 6.7-inch phone, the LTPO OLED screen, wireless charging and IP68 as positives, and the battery smaller than the standard S25's, 25 W charging that needs Samsung's PPS adapter, no telephoto and no charger in the box as negatives. It frames the phone as putting design and portability ahead of function.
