Obviously, battery life cannot be great with this battery size, but just how bad is it?
PhoneArena Battery Test Results:
The Galaxy S25 Edge pulls no miracles — it scores far below the similarly sized S25 Plus and even below the small Galaxy S25.
On our web browsing test (the lightest one where we cycle web pages with a script), the S25 Edge got 16 hours and 40 minutes, nearly two hours less than the Galaxy S25 and further behind the S25 Plus and S25 Ultra.
For YouTube video streaming, the S25 Edge gets 7 hours and 44 minutes, just slightly less than the small Galaxy S25 model.
And finally, for 3D gaming the S25 Edge scores 9 hours and 38 minutes, which is noticeable behind all other Galaxy S25 versions.
We estimate that you can get around 6 hours and 22 minutes of total screen time on the Galaxy S25 Edge, falling behind the small Galaxy S25 which we estimate can get around 7 hours.
Interestingly, in our estimations the Galaxy S25 Edge with its total score of 6 hours and 22 minutes actually beats some popular mid-rangers:
– it scores higher than the Galaxy A35, which scored 6 hours and 12 minutes
So overall, why battery life so far does not seam stellar, it’s not exactly super bad either.
We have just put our SIM in the Galaxy S25 Edge and we will be testing it more over the coming days and sharing more real-life thoughts about the battery life in our upcoming Galaxy S25 Edge review. Stay tuned.
