Overview

  • The Galaxy S25 Edge, Samsung's thinnest smartphone at 5.8 mm, is now available for pre-order and shipping in select regions globally.
  • While praised for its lightweight design and powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, the phone's 3,900-mAh battery has drawn criticism for insufficient battery life, especially at its $1,100 price point.
  • The device lacks key features like a telephoto zoom camera, S Pen stylus, and fast charging, leading some reviewers to question its value compared to alternatives within the Galaxy S25 series.
  • Camera performance is generally strong with a 200 MP primary camera and 12 MP ultra-wide lens, but the absence of optical zoom limits versatility for photography enthusiasts.
  • Samsung positions the phone as an option for users seeking high-end performance without the bulk of larger models, but reviewers suggest exploring other options like the Galaxy S25 Ultra or foldable smartphones for a more balanced experience.
