[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Galaxy S25 Edge stands out as Samsung’s thinnest flagship yet—just 5.8 mm thick and 163 g, with a premium titanium frame and Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2 front—resulting in an ultralight, elegant feel that genuinely surprises in-hand .
Display & Performance Its 6.7‑inch QHD+ Dynamic LTPO AMOLED 120 Hz display delivers vivid colors, deep blacks, and up to 2600 nits peak brightness. Gaming and multitasking are fluid thanks to the Snapdragon 8 Elite and 12 GB RAM, with efficient thermal management via a vapor chamber—performance remains strong even under load. Camera System The 200 MP main sensor (shared with the Ultra) captures excellent stills, especially at 1–2×. However, the absence of a telephoto lens limits effective zoom beyond 4×, resulting in only digital zoom that drops in quality and fails to compete with triple-camera rivals .
Battery Life & Charging Its slim profile comes with a 3900 mAh battery—the smallest in the S25 lineup. In real-world use, it lasts around a day and a half with light usage, but heavy users will find it insufficient. Fast charging is capped at 25 W wired and 15 W wireless, lagging behind competitors .
Trade-offs & Target User The S25 Edge makes conscious sacrifices: no telephoto, middling battery, and standard charging—all for unmatched thinness and portability . It’s ideal for users who prioritize style, pocket-friendliness, and a flagship-grade display/performance. Power users who need extended battery life, versatile zoom, fast charge.

Almost perfect, minus the battery
on July 7, 2025
Posted by: Kleenexpack
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Screen is beautiful as expected. Everything is fast, smooth, and doesn't lag especially on .5x animations. I thought I'd miss the zoom camera coming from the S24 ultra but the regular camera is good enough that it can do some zoom. The battery is the biggest letdown. I've had days where it's dead by 2-3pm, giving me about 6 or 7 hours off the charger total. I usually have access to a charger so it's not a huge deal, and some days I go the whole day without needing a charger. But it's a great device overall, just needs a bigger battery.
I think the tradeoff of being thin and ultra light is worth it, though. The S24 and 25 ultra feel like bricks compared to the edge and I don't think I'll go back to a phone like that for a long time

Compact phone for the average user
on July 8, 2025
Posted by: MKY1126
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good looking, slim phone for the average user. One of the best features is the Galaxy AI that makes tasks easier and more customizable such as picture editing or live translation while on a call. Lost stars due to the seemingly weaker antenna reception for calls. I had a Flip4 before the Edge and had no issues with reception in the breakroom at work but now the reception is terrible.

Not all happy switching S24 Ultra to S25 Edge
on July 26, 2025
Posted by: Mark1958
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I try to avoid AI when possible, because pattern-matching is a poor approximation to intelligence, in my opinion. It's convenient when it chooses correctly, and oftenbhard to circumvent when wrong.
On balance, I like the new phone; the S24 was aging, and it was about time for a new phone.
