Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Hands on: Everyone who asks me for professional advice on what phone they should buy usually boils their key priorities down to two things: battery life and cameras. With that in mind, its certainly an interesting strategy for Samsung to compromise in those two areas in order to achieve the slimmer build.

Hands on: It can't be said enough: The only thing separating the Edge from the other S25 phones is how thin it is. But that might be enough for some people. I welcome it after years of phones getting way too big and bulky. So, if you miss the smaller phones of years gone by, this one's for you.

Hands on: The Galaxy S25 Edge is the solution to a very simple formula. Take a Galaxy S25 Plus. Shave 1.5mm off the thickness by removing the zoom camera and shrinking the battery. Add a 200MP camera sensor. Wrap it in titanium. Voila: Galaxy S25 Edge!

Hands on: Now if it was exactly like the Galaxy S25 Ultra in every way (cameras included), but in a much smaller and lighter package, then I think I’d be more impressed — but it’s not. This isn’t a generation defining change, like the Razr or iPod Nano.
