As I hold the super-thin and light galaxy S 25 edge of Samsung, the first word that comes to mind is “air”. My next thought is: If I am S25 plus I will be anxious.
In a New York preview event with the S25 edge in my early, I was shocked to see how much the new phone carried from its S 25 parts. It will be from S25 Ultra to 200-megapixel wide camera, 6.7 inches from S25 Plus and from the Snapdragon 8 Elite processor you will get the other three S20 devices. However, it does in 163 grams of clocking, 5.8 mm in the titanium frame. It seems something that can be thrown into my bag or pocket and is rarely noticed.
This is part of the story Samsung eventCNET’s collection of news, tips and suggestions around Samsung’s most popular products.
In fact, the S25 edge hit me exactly what the medium-line flagship phone should be: a new, advanced acceptance in the baseline model, which pulls its $ 1,100 price in premium features. Exciting designs, ultra-level wide cameras and wide display, actually make it an interesting alternative for anyone who wants something outside of the common.
But it goes without saying that there is no compromise in the store, the most notable battery; More later
The galaxy S 25 edge preorders are now open, and the phone will come on May 30 it comes to three colors: Silver, Jet Black and IC Blue.
The Galaxy S 25 edge comes in black, silver and blue.
Key S 25 The edge stands outside
The biggest question to move on to the release of the S25 is: Why does anyone want a thin phone anyway? After spending some time with the device, I started to see the application.
Although the thickness of the S25 Edge is not visible at first glance, a separate story you’ve got on the phone. Comparishes how thin and light it is registered with, comparing how to felt with S25 Edge 5.8 mm, 163G frame, S25 and S25 Plus. For references, baseline S 25 7.2 mm thick and weight 162g, but it has a small 6.2 inch screen. The S25 plus has the same 6.7 inch display as the edge of the S25 plus but it is 7.3 mm thick and weighing 190 grams. This is a significant difference.
The moment of the truth has given it to see if the phone was applying some energy to the phone. Impressively, it was quite felt. (If that is not the case, I probably put myself in trouble with Samsung)) It touting Gorilla Glass Victus 2 Backings along with Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 display 2 display. My primary idea is that you do not have to worry about the S25 edge in the back of your back pocket, but it must be examined in my review. The S25 edge will also find the same IP 68 rating for dust and water resistance on the other S 25 series phones.

At least the biggest trade on paper seems to be battery capacity. The 3,900 mAh battery of the Galaxy S 25 Edge compares what you will get on the baseline S 25 (4,000 mAh) and S25 Plus (4,900 mAh). Samsung is not sharing how many hours you will get out of the battery of S25 Edge, it will mention that it will permanently last you all day. It’s something else that I’m looking forward to the test. The S25 edge supports 25-watted wired charging and 15-wire-wireless charges.
With a thin phone, the camera hardware can also be shorter on the back. However, the S 25 edge is proud of the three cameras: a 200-megapixel wide, a 12-megapixel ultrodide and a 12-megapixel selfie camera. Megapixel is not everything, so I’m interested in seeing how to translate all real-world photography. Samsung indicates the Galaxy AI to help enhance the quality of the camera and strengthen photo editing features like generator edit.
Like S25 Plus, there are 12GB RAM and 256GB and 512 GB storage options at the S25 edge. It will spend a little more than S 25 Plus, though: $ 1,100 for 256 GB and $ 1,220 for 512 GB. However, it is still less than the top-line $ 1,300 S 25 Ultra.
You will see the same galaxy AI features that Samsung is acting like images and audio eraser from the sketch on the rest of its S25 phone. Gemini features are also on the ship, such as Gemini live and circle of search.
Other companies may soon follow the case and publish their own super-thin phones.
At the edge of a new trend
The introduction of the Galaxy S 25 edge comes into the event of a thin phone. Earlier this year, Oppo published its super-thin Find N5 foldable, which called “the fold of the world’s thin book style”, when closed, only 8.93 mm thick and the opening of 4.21 mm thick. Apple also has a thin “air” version of development of the iPhone 17, and on MW 2025, the phone maker Techno showed its spark slim phone concept, which measures 5.75 mm thick and weighs only 146 grams, according to the company.
Depending on how customers respond, the S25 edge may be a phone call to help the thin phone craze. According to the CNET survey, if people do not have to compromise too much in the case of phones, storage and batteries – they consider the three largest when buying a phone – they may be interested in paying for a new form factor. After all, the phones have become rather boring and estimated by excluding a handful of foldable options. The S25 edge can cause fresh air breathing.
I am looking forward to seeing how the S2 edge holds the edge in the real world and whether it can really maintain its edge (I had to do it).
