Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge stands out from the flagship crowd, but not just because of specs. At just 5.8mm thick and weighing only 163g, it’s the slimmest phone in the Galaxy S25 series, offering a stunningly sleek profile without compromising on raw power.
You also get the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the big 200MP main camera of the Galaxy S25 Ultra, and a premium build quality. But for its $1,099 price tag, the downsides are hard to ignore. The battery capacity is quite tiny, and its charging speeds are slow as well. So who exactly is this slim powerhouse made for? Let’s break it down.
1. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Flagship Specs That Impress
The South Korean tech giant’s latest premium model carries a premium price, starting from an exorbitant $1,099. But Samsung’s justifies the price with a titanium frame like the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The rear has a glass panel, while the front sports a tall 6.7-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X display with a 2K+ resolution, 1-120Hz variable refresh rate, and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 for protection.
Under the hood, it is equipped with the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy, which is paired with 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. For photography, the rear has the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s 200MP main camera along with a 12MP ultra wide angle lens. So you’re getting cutting edge specs and flagship level features.
2. Ultra-Thin Design
If you’re someone who cares deeply about how a phone feels in the hand, the Galaxy S25 Edge is practically unmatched. The titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 protection offer a luxurious build, while the slim and light profile make it ideal for one-handed use and everyday portability.
This makes it a dream for minimalists who want a phone that’s as sleek as it is premium. It’s also a compelling choice for users who are tired of bulky phones and want something elegant without compromising too much on power.
3. So who is it for?
Over the years, it has become clear that battery life is one of the biggest concerns for users. Buyers would rather have a slightly thicker or taller phone for a bigger battery. But Samsung took the opposite direction. So it is clearly trying to kick off a new trend (ahead of Apple’s iPhone 17 Air) or tap into a specific demographic. This might include light to moderate users who don’t game or multitask heavily and can afford the smaller battery.
There are also people who value a lightweight design, since it is easier to hold and carry around. The premium aesthetics and sleek form factor are another positive point. But apart from all of this, loyal customers of the brand and early adopters of new innovations may also like the Galaxy S25 Edge.
4. Who Should Probably Skip It?
If you’re a heavy user, gamer, or someone who needs your phone to last well into the night, the S25 Edge is likely not for you. The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is powered by a tiny 3,900mAh battery. This capacity is even smaller than the 4,000mAh cell on the tiny Galaxy S25. Just like the base model, the S25 Edge also offers a disappointing 25W wired fast charging (also supports 15W wireless charging). With a hefty $1,099 price tag, it is also quite expensive for most people.
