Galaxy S25 Edge: Samsung's Thin, Powerful, and Stylish Smartphone
Samsung demonstrates leaner strategies compared to Apple's bulkier approach
By Klaus Wedekind
Tech enthusiasts are buzzing about the latest Samsung smartphone – the Galaxy S25 Edge. With an ultra-slim design and impressive features, this gadget is making waves in the tech world. But that's not all! Could Apple be feeling the heat in September when they release their iPhone with similar specs?
A Stylish and Slim Package
The Galaxy S25 Edge might weigh just 163 grams and be an astonishing 5.84 millimeters thick, but don't let its sleek design fool you. Hidden within this minimalist masterpiece is a powerful device ready to tackle your daily tasks.
Despite its thin profile, Samsung managed to cram the Edge with the same brilliant AMOLED display, boasting supreme clarity and a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate seen in other Galaxy S25 models. The phone also sports a robust titanium frame, with both front and back protected by Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 and Victus 2, ensuring durability beyond its elegant appearance.
A Powerhouse Under the Hood
Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, the Edge houses a top-tier processor to handle demanding tasks with ease. Inside, 12GB of RAM ensures smooth multitasking, ensuring this device can keep up with even the most demanding users. To further enhance performance, Samsung cleverly incorporated a vapor chamber cooling system, ensuring the Edge maintains its peak performance for incessant power users.
The Camera that Could Dethrone the King
Those looking to capture their adventures will be impressed by the Edge's camera system. Inheriting the optically stabilized main camera from the Galaxy S25 Ultra with a striking 200-megapixel sensor, the Edge promises stunning, detailed images. An additional 12MP ultrawide camera provides some fascinating angles, while the 12MP front-facing selfie camera ensures you'll always look your best in your selfies and video calls.
A Lightweight Punch
Tech bloggers are questioning how the battery, with its somewhat lower capacity of 3,900mAh, will measure up. Samsung promises six hours of "display time," but real-world usage remains to be seen. Fortunately, Samsung's fast 25W charging and Qi2-ready wireless charging up to 15W ensure you'll never be kept waiting for long when you run out of juice.
The Extra Cost for the Slim Edge
Galaxy S25 Edge enthusiasts will have to pay a premium for this stylish and powerful device. Prices start at around €1,250 for the 256GB flash storage variant, making it €100 more expensive than the base Galaxy S25+. If you're quick, you can get the larger storage version for the price of the smaller one before May 29.
Apple's Move and the Samsung S25 Edge
The success or failure of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is significant for Apple, as they're expected to launch an ultra-thin iPhone in September. How the Edge performs will undoubtedly influence Apple's moves in their upcoming release.
