Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Ultra-Thin Meets Ultra-Smart
Samsung just pulled the wraps off the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it’s turning heads—mainly because of its razor-thin 5.8mm titanium build. Sleek, light, and surprisingly tough, this is Samsung clearly trying something bold at the premium end.
🧊 Design & Build
Right away, the S25 Edge stands out for how little of it there is—at just 5.8mm thick and 163g, it’s the slimmest and lightest Galaxy phone to date. Despite that, it still feels solid thanks to a titanium frame and a protective layer of Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2.
Samsung’s also ditched the usual color names in favor of flair: Titanium Silver, Titanium Jetblack, and the icy-cool Titanium Icyblue. They’re all sharp and minimalist, just like the phone itself.
📱 Display & Performance
The 6.7-inch QHD+ Dynamic AMOLED 2X display delivers on all fronts—sharp, smooth, and seriously bright, with a 120Hz adaptive refresh rate and peak brightness up to 2600 nits. Great for everything from scrolling socials to watching HDR content outdoors.
Under the hood, you’re getting the new Snapdragon 8 Elite chip, paired with 12GB of RAM and either 256GB or 512GB of storage. It ships with Android 15 running One UI 7, which is more refined and easier to use than ever.
🤖 Smart AI Tools That Aren’t Just Gimmicks
Samsung’s leaning heavily into AI this time—but not in a “buzzword” way. New tools include:
-
Now Bar: Live, contextual info at a glance
-
Drawing Assist: Helps polish sketches or visuals with a creative boost
-
Google Gemini AI Suite: Think of it as an assistant that understands what’s on your screen and reacts in real time
Altogether, they make the S25 Edge feel a little more like it “gets” you—and less like just another smartphone.
📸 Camera: Sharp Shots, No Frills
The 200MP main sensor is the star here, delivering highly detailed photos with OIS and a wide f/1.7 aperture. There’s also a 12MP ultra-wide lens with autofocus for tight spaces or macro shots.
Up front, a 12MP selfie camera with f/2.2 gets the job done well—nothing fancy, but capable and crisp.
🔋 Battery & Charging
The battery’s a modest 3,900mAh, but Samsung says it’s tuned for better power management. Charging is snappy with 25W wired or wireless, giving you over 50% in around 30 minutes (charger sold separately, of course).
It’s smaller than some rivals, but that’s part of the trade-off for going ultra-thin.
🌍 Launch & Pricing
The Galaxy S25 Edge hits shelves in South Korea on May 23, followed by a May 30 U.S. release. It’s headed to around 30 countries shortly after, including China and most of Europe.
Pre-orders are already live via Amazon, Best Buy, and Samsung’s site. Pricing starts at $1,099.99 (256GB) and $1,219.99 (512GB).
📝 Final Take
Samsung took a swing with the Galaxy S25 Edge, and it mostly connects. It’s ultra-thin, thoughtfully designed, and packed with genuinely useful AI features.
Sure, there’s no telephoto lens and the battery is a bit on the small side—but for anyone who values design and lightness over raw spec-sheet bloat, this phone is a serious contender.
In a market full of lookalikes, the S25 Edge manages to feel like something new.
