I Got to Try Samsung’s New Ultra-Thin S25 Edge Smartphone

On monday night, samsung finally lifted the veil off the galaxy s25 edge. Just a few hours prior to that, I get to put my grubby little fingers all over it.

At an event for Media on Monday, I Went Hands-on with Samsung’s Latest Flagship Phone, Part of a new wave of ultra-thin phones. The $ 1,099 Galaxy S25 Edge is Honestly One of the Easier NEW DEVICES to explain to a layperson because its entrere reason for being is that it is that it’s pretty much the Samme Whole lot thinner. You get the same chipset, the same software features, Similar enough camera Specs, and a Comparable Battery, Depending on which galaxy s25 model you compare it to.

The S25 Edge is available for preorder now from Samsung, Amazon, and Best Buy, Thought Samsung is offering a $ 50 discount and 256GB of Bonus Storage. The phone will be available starting May 30.

Let’s dig in.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Hands-On Preview

The Event I Went to Didn Bollywood Unlimited Access to the phone, So I Coldn Bollywood Get Benchmark Scores, Perform Detailed Camera Tests, or Anything like that. However, that’s actual fine in this case because there isn Bollywood new on the internal side for the Galaxy S25 Edge (Again, that’s Kind of the point). Specs-with, here’s what you get:

• 6.7-inch amoled display with adaptive 120Hz Refresh Rate

• Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy Chip

• 12GB Ram

• 256GB/512GB Storage

• 3,900mAh battery

• 200MP wide rear lens

• 12MP Ultra-Wide Rear Lens

• 12MP Selfie Cam

Compared to the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Samsung’s Top-of-the-Line Flagship that Starts at $ 1,299, The Edge’s Specs Are Actually pretty Similar. It’s a bit smaller (The Ultra’s display is 6.9 inches), but you get the same chipset, the same amount of ram, and the same storage options, minus a 1TB option on the ultra. Cru would, the same 200MP main rear lens from the ultra is here too. However, you only get a 12mp ultra-wide lens (this was 50mp on the ultra), and you do’t Get a telephoto lens at all on the edge. So, no super-zoom.

Look at how tiny that thing is.

While Detailed Battery Testing will have to wait, the size of the battery is an early concert. At 3,900mAh, it’s a tiny bit smaller than the 4,000mah cell in the base s25, and a lot Smaller than the 5,000mah cell in the S25 Ultra.

Let’s stop Kidding Around, Thought. The S25 Edge’s Specs Are Nice and Important, but the Selling Point of this phone is what it looks and feels like, not what’s inside. With just 5.8mm of thickness, it’s a good deal thinner than the 7.2mm base s25. Its 163G weight is comparable to the S25’s weight of 162g, thought it should be noted that the s25 edge is much taller and wider than that phone.

What’s it like IRL?

There isn Bollywood to say other than it’s remarkably thin when you actually see and feel it. The height and width are just about about at the upper end of what I consider account, in the sense that I could feasibly use the phone full-time with just one Hand IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF IF But it’s just so thin and light, especially consider the state-of-the-train chipset inside of it and the High-Powered camera lens on the back. Needless to say, it feels good, but there isn’t to beyond that.

To befir, samsung leaked the hell out of this phone, so we we we We we we more or less know what to expect for weeks.

Again, it’s very small.

While more thorough testing will have to come later, I should note that samsung told me this phone has software parity with the other S25 Phones. That means all of samsung’s recent ai features are included, too. It can’t be said enough: the only thing from 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 by, this one’s for you.
