Overview

  • Galaxy S25 Edge began pre-orders globally on May 23 with shipping first starting in India and rolling out to other select markets on May 30.
  • The device measures 5.8 mm thick, weighs about 160 g and features a 6.7-inch HDR OLED display at QHD+ resolution with a 120 Hz refresh rate.
  • It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chip and sports a dual-lens camera setup with a 200 MP main shooter and ultrawide/macro lens but omits a telephoto zoom.
  • Reviewers praise the ultra-thin, lightweight design and strong performance yet report that the 3900 mAh battery often falls short of a full day’s use.
  • Priced at $1,850, Samsung positions the S25 Edge toward users prioritizing portability and style over extended battery life and high-zoom capabilities.
