Overview

  • The Galaxy S25 Edge, featuring a 5.8 mm titanium frame, offers a slim design but sacrifices a larger battery and telephoto camera for its compact form factor.
  • Equipped with a Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and vapor-chamber cooling, the Edge promises high performance and seven years of software updates.
  • The Edge includes a dual-camera setup with a 200 MP wide-angle and 12 MP ultra-wide lens, omitting the telephoto option found in other Galaxy S25 models.
  • Early benchmarks for the Galaxy S25 FE prototype suggest it will reuse the Exynos 2400e chip and 8 GB RAM from the S24 FE, raising concerns about a lack of performance upgrades.
  • The S25 FE is expected to be unveiled in autumn 2025, continuing Samsung’s strategy of offering mid-tier devices with flagship-adjacent features at a lower price.
