In the saturated smartphone market, the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge stands out with its refined design and impressive performance despite its compact dimensions.
At just 5.84 millimeters thick and weighing only 163 grams, the device offers a delightful balance of portability and durability. Its slim profile and light weight, compared to other large smartphones, make it a comfortable and stylish choice for users. The matte titanium frame enhances the device's stability, and the Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 and Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protect the screen and back from scratches and breaks.
The 6.7-inch screen boasts bright, natural colors, strong contrasts, and a high resolution of QHD+. Samsung's 200-megapixel camera from the Galaxy S25 Ultra delivers impressive photographic results in both daylight and nighttime, serving as a suitable alternative to a telephoto lens up to 4x zoom. The ultra-wide-angle camera and 12 MP front camera also perform admirably.
Though the Galaxy S25 Edge's battery capacity of 3900 mAh is smaller compared to other models in the S25 series, it still delivers sufficient battery life to last an average user from morning to night. With a Snapdragon 8 Elite and 12 GB of RAM, the device offers powerful performance that ranks equally with its siblings, although a vapor chamber consecutively limits peak performance in graphically demanding games.
While the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge represents a compromise in terms of battery capacity and camera features compared to its siblings, its stylish design and powerful performance make it an attractive choice for users seeking a slim and lightweight device. The device retails at approximately €1,250 for 256 GB and €1,370 for 512 GB.

Additional Information: In contrast to the Samsung Galaxy S25, which offers a 4,000 mAh battery, the S25 Edge provides around 6 hours and 22 minutes of screen-on time during mixed usage, as well as 16 hours and 40 minutes of internet browsing, 7 hours and 44 minutes of video playback, and 9 hours and 38 minutes of gaming [3]. The S25 Edge supports 25W fast charging, achieving approximately 55-60% battery capacity in 30 minutes [2][4].
The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge, with its slim and light design, showcases its elegance not only in its matte titanium frame but also in its advanced 200-megapixel camera, borrowed from the Galaxy S25 Ultra. In the realm of research and development, this device, like others from Samsung, demonstrates a commitment to innovation and quality.
This cutting-edge smartphone, with its sleek profile, rivals the latest gadgets in the technology industry, appealing not only to fans of the brand but also to tech enthusiasts who appreciate the seamless blend of form and function. Research and development efforts continuously push the boundaries in the production of smartphones, and the Galaxy S25 Edge stands as a testament to these advancements.
