The Galaxy S25 Edge is essentially a slimmed-down version of the Galaxy S25+, with the same 6.7-inch display, processor, and AI features, but the trade-off is losing the telephoto lens and a slightly smaller battery.
Like other Galaxy S25 series, Galaxy AI and Google's AI 'Gemini' are available, and you can use functions such as
The Galaxy S25 Edge uses the same titanium frame as the Galaxy S25 Ultra, making it more durable than other aluminum models. The screen uses the new Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, which was just announced on May 9, 2025, making it the most durable model in the S25 series.
Technology media The Verge reported that 'the Galaxy S25 Edge aims for thinness, but in return it has to make two big sacrifices. The first is the camera, which only has two rear lenses and no telephoto lenses. The 200MP main shooter is the S25's It uses the exact same sensor as the Ultra, but it's crammed into a smaller case. That means it has a main camera that's comparable to the Ultra and better than the Plus, but it's less versatile than either of them. The biggest concern is the battery. The Edge's 3900mAh battery is the smallest of the S25s, compared to the S25's 4000mAh and the Plus's 4900mAh. And yet it has a big screen, so the battery life is the worst. Samsung claims the Edge's battery life is 24 hours, but that's five hours less than the S25's 29 hours and the Plus's 30 hours. The battery is only good at the beginning, and it won't last forever, so it's not like the Edge is a smartphone that you can use all day forever. Like the other S25 series, they promise seven years of OS and security updates, but I'm a little worried about the Edge's battery life before that,' he pointed out, adding, 'This is definitely a model that you should wait for the review.'
Several media outlets got hands-on with the Galaxy S25 Edge at a preview event in New York.
CNET said, 'The first word that comes to mind is 'swift.' It's exactly what a mid-range flagship smartphone should be. It's a refreshing evolution of the baseline model, and with premium features it's well worth the price. You have to compromise on the battery, but the exciting design, ultra-wide camera and spacious display make it an attractive option for anyone looking for something a little different.'
